On Thursday, 10 November 2022, the European Movement International will hold a one-day capacity building workshop for all of its members. The event, which will take place online, will focus primarily on addressing two key topics:

• Communication: campaigns & community building, and  

• EU funding opportunities. 

With both of these two topics having been identified by our members as holding significant importance, European Movement International decided to organise this event to allow our members to gain key insight and knowledge required for further capacity building. This event will feature presentations and discussions not only by members of the European Movement International team, but also by external experts.
