Diaspora_NET: Final Conference in Chisinau

On July 26th, 2022 IRI (International Republican Institute) organised a Diaspora_NET: Final Conference event in Chisinau. By coincidence, 3 members of our Task Force happen to be at the event: Veronica, Valeriu and Natalia.

The event aimed to conclude an IRI project and share with participants back home and with those following remotely, in the Diaspora, about platforms which have been established by Diaspora members throughout the past years.

Some of these platforms have been supported through small grants by IRI; while others - like our Task Force, had the opportunity to share the conceptual framework of our Task Force and what can we provide. Veronica made a presentation during the Session 2 of the event.

While we are still in the co-creation phase as a platform, there is interest from Moldovan stakeholders in the knowledge transfer we can support with.
