Upon the training, which will be held in 15 cities in Serbia, the organizations and activists from the cities and surrounding places that took part in the training would be involved in further activities and additional training during the three-year project. During 2021, they will be invited to submit their project proposals that seek to contribute to solving a problem in the local community regarding the protection of rights in the areas they deal with or the improvement of their position in the environments in which they work.
