3. Transferring their know-how abroad
Providing consultations and know-how:
Just as Slovakia was supported by developed countries during its
transition to democracy, they also consider it important to share their
experience from that journey with countries in need of such support.
Their activities aim to spread the idea that globalisation and
contemporary technological progress do not respect politically
defined borders and that they influence people anywhere in the
world.
Thus they focus on areas of Global Active Citizenship Education,
Official Development Assistance and ODA building and cross-sector
dialogue. They organise study and advocacy visits to Brussels,
internships in Slovakia, mentoring for analytics and experts from
Eastern Partnership and the Western Balkans.
They provide small grants and lead working groups, e.g. in the area
of Global Education. They cooperate with actors in Kenya and
Slovakia in the field of education, training firms and start-ups.
