Dear SIA4Y Friends,

Today is officially the last day of our Strengthening the civil society rights by information access for European youth (SIA4Y) project. We started in December 2018 and finalized today, at the end of May 2020. It was 18 months of great experiences, fantastic meetings, inspiring debates with youth and tons of knowledge on Freedom of Information, Access to Information and ways to use it. We wish to thank everyone who participated in pour project – our great Partners from Poland, Latvia, Estonia Finland and Belgium, the EACEA Agence and Polish Focal Point who supported us whenever we had questions, but first and foremost – our fantastic youth, the audience and the main beneficiaries of our events. Without you, your enthusiasm, your joy and hunger for knowledge we would not have made it all!

Also, here you can check the 3 fantastic publications we created during the project lifetime with the help of academics from the University of Gdansk – Prof. Sylwia Mrozowska and PhD Barbara Kijewska.
