Network for European Citizenship and Identity

NECI is a non profit, Non-governmental organization. We have a team of 94 registered members in local level and our main aim is to work and contribute locally and in international level in voluntary base in various fields. More specifically our contribution is depended on our members and volunteers from different backgrounds who aim to collaborate to assist on: (a) reducing the discrimination and marginalisation, (b) realising our common European Identity through multiple activities which are based on seminars, workshops for local community, study visits, volunteering, youth exchanges, etc, (c) improving competences and skills of youngsters and adults (d) feeling and living all opportunities we are entitled to as EU citizens. Thus, we aim to create a powerful group/team of citizens of Europe from different cultural background and educational and financial level who share the same vision: Equal and decent opportunities on lifelong learning, on health and on enjoying a healthy diverce environment. As organization we organize several social events such as volunteer job in shelters, support refugees in camps, clean public places, blood donations, activities with other ngos, volunteering in public hospitals, organize educational seminars and trainings for different groups of society (teachers, educators, adults, youths, children, special education). Our members also participate in several Youth in Action, Grundtvig, Comenius, KA1 and KA2 trainings abroad. We cooperate with local NGOs and Institutions such as University of Nicosia, in the past with Intercollege of Larnaca, public schools, Ministry of Education and Culture, etc, and delivered lectures in Universities abroad such as in University of Macerata. We also prepared and implemented projects of YiA on Social Inclusion, Employability, Healthy lifestyle and under E+ KA1 on gender, on Entrepreneurship, key competences development, media literacy etc. Recently we were invited for delivering training courses and summer camps abroad on topics of EU priorities (invited in Romania from local institutions and public schools: Slatina, Brasov, Hunedoara, Satu Mare, Formia Municipality and in Bulgaria from Nadejna Municipality: Sofia).
