The Association for the Promotion of Active Citizenship – ECHO, was founded with the aim of promoting the idea of active involvement of citizens in the life of the community.
Its work is aimed at promoting democracy, human rights, non-discrimination, gender equality and fighting against social inequalities, poverty and exclusion and all forms of violence.
Active citizenship represents the inclusion of citizens in their local communities and the promotion of democracy at all levels. These are all the steps ECHO takes together to improve our community and society – be they small – street, park, garden improvement actions or big – educating children and young people about democratic values, skills and participation in society or developing programs and strategies for the purpose of employment marginalised groups.
