Unlonely Civil Society
The COVID-19 crisis has a huge impact on the world. To enable communities to cope and thrive in the medium term, we need an unprecedented level of cross-sectoral cooperation.
Ashoka Romania and NN facilitate the development of innovative social solutions in three important areas at the national level, whose needs are strongly amplified by the current social and economic context: the use of technology in health (e-health) and prevention, increasing the capacity of civil society in situations of urgency and financial and social inclusion.
Developing a community of creators of change in sport that can bring about systemic change in society.
With extensive community experience on the ground, making connections between very different communities, Ashoka Romania has teamed up with the Embassy to build together a new framework in which cities and areas can be solution seekers, change implementers and resilient masters in a future in which external factors are less predictable than ever
