The training aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of advocacy mechanisms that enable civil society organizations to influence government institutions, including the Government and Parliament, ensuring that adopted policies align with the values our country officially upholds.

The training will offer a deeper understanding civil society organizations’ role in shaping foreign policy, with a focus on the goals and humanistic values essential for both foreign and domestic state affairs.

The trainer is Dina Bajramspahić, a policy researcher with sixteen years of professional experience in Montenegrin civil society, focusing on EU integration processes and rule of law.

Civil society organizations serve as a bridge between citizens and decision-makers. This training will empower participants with the knowledge to better understand how organizations can influence foreign policy, enhance their advocacy skills, and develop the ability to identify key stakeholders and decision-making processes in foreign policy.

Special attention during this training will be given to Cluster 6 of the EU accession negotiations, which encompasses two chapters: Chapter 30, “External Relations,” and Chapter 31, “Foreign, Security, and Defense Policy.” The training will also address how civil society can contribute to meeting obligations and shaping the expectations placed on candidate countries seeking membership.

The language in which the training will be held is B/H/S and Montenegrin.
