Organization Procedure for Civil Society in Times of Crisis

Is civil society ready (!) for crisis?

Together with Geleceği Paylaş Civil Initiative and Yaşar University, the Quality in Social Responsibility Association (SSKD) prepared the Organization Procedure for Civil Society in Times of Crisis under the European Union Sivil Düşün Programme’s “Things That Connect Us” special support, so that civil society can be ready when a crisis hits.
