The 10th anniversary Masovia Development Forum is behind us. One thing we can say for sure: it was a unique, vibrant, and inspiring event! We’re thrilled to have been a part of it!
This year’s edition attracted over 2,000 participants both on-site and via online broadcast. The forum was co-organized by over 90 speakers and over 50 partners representing diverse communities – local government, business, the academic sector, and non-governmental organizations. This unique collaboration resulted in a 12-hour event filled with inspiring discussions, conversations, workshops, and presentations held on two stages and in the exhibition and networking space.
At the Cooperation Fund Foundation booth, participants could speak with a career advisor and refine their career paths as part of the “Loans for Education” project. For those interested in an innovative approach to education, the “Forest School Center” project and related activities, such as a forest orchestra and rock painting, were on display. There was also no shortage of enthusiasts for a competition on equality and workers’ rights – the “Equality in Business” project. The “Art of Equality” poster exhibition generated considerable interest, as did the educational trail presenting the “Paths of Cooperation” project, which allows for expanding the scope of one’s activities through international cooperation.
The second day of the Forum opened with a debate entitled “Non-Governmental Organizations – Unsung Heroes or Significant Players,” moderated by Daniel Prędkopowicz, a representative of the Foundation. Representatives of NGOs including the Foundation for Social and Economic Initiatives, the Boris Association, the Civil Society Development Foundation, and a representative of the Masovian Unit for the Implementation of EU Programs participated.
