This call, through the implementation of approved projects, aims to contribute to the development of community centers in the community as public spaces where members of the local community gather to implement group activities, use various forms of social support, obtain information on issues important for quality of life, i.e. various activities which are of interest for the quality functioning of the local community.
The call for a total value of HRK 120 million is intended to encourage and improve transparency in the planning of the use and allocation of publicly owned spaces, allocated to civil society organizations for use.
