| Making your voice heard in the EU:A guide for NGOs | |
| This training handbook was specifically designed for those “newcomer” NGOs and activists that are in the process of establishing a European strategy. It does so by providing tailored-made information on EU institutions, the way European NGOs work, as well as lobbying “tips”, illustrated by examples of EU level campaigns. It does not aim at being comprehensive but rather at giving you a first insight in the EU labyrinth and how to find your way. To prepare the next stages of your strategy, it also provides more specific links and contacts depending on your area of activity. We hope you will find it useful. | |
