The Ukrainian chapter of the global anti-corruption network Transparency International cordially invites everyone interested to the open lecture Changing the City: How the Community Can Influence City Councils. The Role of Communications.

Together, we will talk what tools of influence on decision-making process in the city are available to the community and what citizens can do to make the city council listen to them. We will dwell in particular on communications of achievements, both for the city councils and for activists – how to do it correctly and why it is important.
