INPRIS Completes The “Academy of Legislative Skills for NGOs” Project

31 December 2013. The main objective of INPRIS’ recently completed “Academy of Legislative Skills for NGOs” project was to improve the skills and knowledge of civil society organizations and citizens as regards the legislative process in Poland.

The project involved the training of 20 representatives of non-governmental organizations from across Poland. Workshop participants had the opportunity to improve their  knowledge of the legislative system and the interpretation of the law by the judiciary, as well as to refine their skills in seeking legal information, legal documents and legislative acts, monitoring the lawmaking process, public consultation, and other areas.

Under the auspices of the project, participants also met with several representatives of major institutions related to the legislative process in Poland, including:

- Prof. Andrzej Rzepliński, President of the Constitutional Tribunal

- Maciej Berek, Minister and President of the Government Legislation Centre

- Mariusz Haładyj, Minister of Economic Affairs

The "Academy of Legislative skills for NGOs" project was co-financed by the Fund for Civil Initiatives (Ministry of Labour and Social Policy).
