Centre for European Perspective - CEP

Centre for European Perspective - CEP Centre for European Perspective (CEP), founded by Slovenia's Ministry of Foreign & European Affairs.
(11)

Centre for European Perspective is a provider of development aid and cooperation of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia. CEP is focusing its activities on the Western Balkan countries by building capacity of the EU candidate countries (Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia) and potential candidate countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo) on their way to EU. For this purpose CEP organizes

trainings, seminars, workshops, conferences at international and regional levels, roundtables and other forms of knowledge transfer in the field of security and economic development. All CEP activities are conducted on a request-basis submitted by the beneficiary country and are tailor-made to suit their specific requirements. Main characteristics of the CEP trainings, workshops and seminars are multidisciplinary expertise and interactivity. While experts are involved from the preparation phase on, topics are tackled from different angles and trainees are actively involved in the implementation as well as in the evaluation phase. After the training, trainees can directly apply their acquired competencies, knowledge and skills, to work. CEP activities derive from rich experiences acquired from project management work and systematic problem-solving.

If last week was about digital communication of the Slovenian Government ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ, this week we moved a bit more to the East; we are in Moldova ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ.

This morning, we kicked off our training for the Moldovan Government's communicators. The rich agenda will provide a wealth of new knowledge for all attendees ๐Ÿ‘€. We will discuss theoretical aspects of digital communication and slowly move to the practical parts: the actual presence of the Moldovan Government on social media, models of coordination, and building a digital strategic communication strategy ๐ŸŒ.

There will, of course, also be time to get to know each other and network.

Talk to you ๐Ÿ”œ!
