Citizen Connections: the 15 Winners
Related project
Citizen ConnectionsAfter six weeks of online work carried out by the 30 participants selected following the call for applications to the Citizen Connections project, half of them will be given the chance to continue their training in Paris, Dakar and Abidjan.
The participants in the Citizen Connections project have all taken part in an online work session, consisting of three components: a presentation of the participants and their projects to the group, a presentation of the challenges that they have faced, and mentoring via personalised sessions.
This first phase has allowed the Citizen Connections trainers to assess the motivation and teamworking abilities of each participant, in order to shortlist 15 of them to continue with the project.
