Strengthening the Partnership Principle
(12 Theses from the 12th Danube Participation Day – series)
We’d love to keep the conversation going. Join the Danube Civil Society Forum (DCSF) for a short, informal Virtual Coffee Meeting where we connect ideas from the 12 Theses to everyday practice — and learn from each other across the Danube Participation Day community.
This new Virtual Coffee series is designed to continue that dialogue in a simple, interactive format — a coffee, a shared focus, and practical takeaways.
What is the fourth meeting about?
The Partnership Principle will be the central theme of this year's Danube Participation Day. Therefore, the 4th Virtual Coffee Meeting aims to foster dialogue and kick-start the debate, providing an opportunity to exchange initial ideas ahead of the discussions in Sofia.
The topic will be introduced by Stefan August Lütgenau, founding Director of the Foster Europe and President of the Danube Civil Society Forum.
Format: 30 minutes, interactive
Welcome & icebreaker (5 min) — short reflection question linked to the theses
Brief input by the moderator + framing of the theses (5 min)
Interactive exchange (15–20 min) — open discussion, sharing experiences and perspectives
Closing & networking (3–5 min) — takeaways / action ideas
Who can join?
The Virtual Coffee Meetings are primarily designed for members of the Danube Civil Society Forum (DCSF). At the same time, they are open to participants of the Danube Participation Days, as well as civil society organisations, local and regional actors, youth practitioners, policy communicators, and anyone interested in participation, trust-building, and inclusive governance in the Danube Region.
