How to join the network?

The European Network for Citizen Initiatives in Global Solidarity (CIGS) invites all organisations that aim at serving CIGS with funding, training, advice and networking opportunities to join the network and become a member of its working groups.

To become member your organisation has to agree to the founding statement of the network in writing with a letter in which the organisation formally states that it supports the founding statement. This ‘letter of connection‘ should be sent to our secretariat (secretariat@europeannetworkforCIGS.eu) and are accepted by the current members.

After which an organisation is invited to participate in the meetings of the different working groups depending on its specific interests. All organisations obtain membership of the coordination group which has the role of the board of the network until the network conference where the network will formalise its structures.

If you have any questions please contact our temporary secretariat at: secretariat@europeannetworkforCIGS.eu.
