We are pleased to invite you to the opening event of B.R.I.D.G.E. - Building Responsible Institutional Dialogue for Governance and Empowerment - on Monday the 23rd of March 2026, 19:00

The BRIDGE project is funded under the aegis of PLATO (“Protecting democracy, human rights and the rule of law through an open civic space”), a framework coordinated by the Bodossaki Foundation with the NGO Support Centre and co-funded by the EU’s Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) program.

B.R.I.D.G.E., implemented by the Department of Sociology and IREA at the Frances Rich School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences of the The American College of Greece, aims to strengthen the meaningful participation of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in public policymaking.

Through a dynamic digital Open Educational Resource (OER) platform, six thematic roundtables focusing on migration, gender-based violence, sexual identity and equality, child protection, homelessness, public space and civic participation, and a dedicated podcast series, the project fosters dialogue between civil society, institutional stakeholders, and academia. The initiative will produce policy recommendations and a Good Practices Toolkit to enhance collaboration and democratic engagement.

Join us to learn more about the project’s goals, meet the partners, and contribute to a collective effort to promote responsible institutional dialogue and active civic participation.
