How can active citizens find partners in government to solve community problems? And how can the government cooperate more effectively with civil society? And how to overcome the new constraints in establishing partnerships caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and quarantine restrictions? April 30, 2020, an online conference was held, where about 80 participants - government officials, civic activists and concerned citizens tried to find answers to these questions.

The conference agenda included communication with best practitioners during a panel discussion and active work of participants in groups to talk over challenges and opportunities for effective interaction between government and active citizens.

We are pleased to share the results of the conference, namely - the recommendations developed to build cooperation between active citizens and the government.
