Our aim is also to develope concrete projects in areas of common interest such as the active participation of people and communities in the civil society and the production of information content about issues often overlooked by mainstream media.
Moreover, as former members of AMISnet, the majority of ECHIS team has already worked in projects (Across the sea ; Through desert and sea; Bridges on Air) realized within the network and thanks to the collaboration of Anna Lindh Foundation. That is why we would like to start this fruitful cooperation again.
