What is and why does “Right of Representation and Participation” exist?
The “Right of Representation and Participation” training is one key activity that “Albanian Alps Alliance” network is organizing, on behalf of the project “Regional Natural Parks Need Sustainable Management” in order to address important issues in their communities. The training will include referrals from lecturers who will be well-known biodiversity and resource management experts at the local level, digital skills lecturers and online presence (timely information).
