Seminar Festival of the Democratic Civic Association (DCA)

The topics of this year’s Seminar Festival, which is organised by Democratic Civic Association (DCA) — a member organisation of transform! europe — will be on the environment, peace and economic and political injustice of the world. Warm welcome to join!

The goal is to open and deepen the discussion on these themes and to provide a speaker platform for organisations that are active and willing to present these issues.

The Festival aims to raise the social awareness of the participants and the public in the form of a seminar on a number of burning and perhaps lesser-publicised issues.
