The Black Sea House Foundation and Anna Lindh Romania organized the "Black Sea, Wars and Hegemons" international conference on November 26, 2023 in Constanța. On behalf of Black Sea House, Mr. Dorin Popescu, PhD, participated, and ALF Romania was represented by the executive director of the foundation, Ioana Constantin-Bercean, PhD. The event benefited from an international presence, with representatives of associated NGOs from Turkey, Bulgaria, Poland and Hungary.
The Center for Sino-Russian Studies (CSSR), in collaboration with the Black Sea University Foundation and the Anna Lindh Foundation Romania, initiated a project necessary to understand the new dynamic between the Euro-Med region and China. In the new economic and security context, the collaboration between the two spaces raises many questions, to which this project intends to find at least some of the answers. Students from Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Estonia participated in the first internship. Details about the project, but also about future initiatives, can be accessed here.
The “D.E.M.O.” programme aims at encouraging and facilitating the active engagement of a wide network of European citizens through both training & hands-on action, in the context of the upcoming 2024 European Elections. We just launched the open call to identify and select 50 change-makers from at least 8 countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Greece, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Sweden and others) to participate in the D.E.M.O. programme. Those selected change-makers will receive the necessary tools to re-imagine democracy in their local communities and to encourage democratic participation.
