Transparency International Hungary launched its “We build on each other” program in 2018, with the aim of encouraging citizens’ more active engagement in public life.

The goals of the “We build on each other” program are to encourage citizens taking part in the program to engage actively in public life, strengthening participation in democratic processes, creating a conscious citizenry and imparting essential knowledge on European Union civics. During the year 2018 we organized several events under the framework of the program, where interested parties were invited to participate in: interactive workshops in March and April; a program series organized by TI Hungary together with its international partners at the Sziget Festival in August; debate forums on the future of Hungary and the EU in October; and the project’s ceremonial closing event in December. Events were organized in four Hungarian cities: Pécs, Győr, Debrecen and Szeged. TI Hungary’s project partners were “With the Power of Humanity” Foundation in Pécs, the Reflex Environmental Protection Society in Győr, Natív in Debrecen, and SZTEP – Association of Szeged Political Science Students in Szeged.

Under the project several events were held in Romania and Italy as well, organized by TI Hungary’s cross-border project partners. In Romania, events were organized in Cluj-Napoca and Constanta by Asociatia Expert Forum (EFOR), while our Italian partner, Transparency International Italy organized similar events in Cagliari and Palermo.
