Institute Alternative was one of the 36 promoters that presented work of their organisation on the Fair of non – governmental organisations, held on June 22, 2019 in Berane. The fair called „NGO EXPO 2019“ was organised for the fourth time, and during the past years this fair gathered citizens and activists from civil society in Podgorica, Budva and Bijelo Polje.
Motto of this year’s Fair organized by Center for the Development of Non-Governmental Organizations and Resource Center for the NGOs in Montenegro was ‘’The Spirit of Activism’’.
This Fair is organized with aim to contribute improving the image and credibility of civil society organisations in Montenegro. The fair was an opportunity to improve and increase the visibility of the activities of civil society organisations and show their role in democratic processes.
