Currently, a number of enthusiastic European partner organisations are active within POLITEIA. The organisations listed below participated in the conferences in December 2005, December 2006 or have joined the network by being active in the project 'European Exchange of Good Practices in the Field of Participation and Citizenship of Underrepresented Groups'.
The network is a co-operation of organisations from various states throughout Europe. A partner organisation should fully endorse the objectives of the Network or contribute with other ideas and objectives and should be able to actively participate in the implementation of the objectives.
The organisations listed below hope that the network is able to gather other organisations that are willing to put energy into the exchange of knowledge and information on European topics, with the emphasis on participation for citizenship and democracy in Europe.
If you are interested to involve your organisation in the network, please contact the secretariat of the network by e-mail: info@politeia.net.
