Working meeting with leaders of diaspora associations and initiative groups, organized by the Diaspora Relations Bureau

The Diaspora Relations Bureau held a working meeting on May 19 with leaders of diaspora associations and initiative groups. The event took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere, and each participant had the opportunity to present and ask the BRD team the questions them concerned. 

Nadejda Zubco, Head of the Diaspora Relations Bureau, spoke about the Diaspora Engagement Hub Program, for which some of the compatriots present at the meeting submitted their projects for the 4 eligible subprograms. Nadejda Zubco also encouraged the leaders of the associations to follow BRD news, but at the same time to inform the institution they represent about the events organized abroad, noting that in this way, the work of our compatriots and their involvement in cultural and activities of promotion of the country, can also become visible at home.

Also, Violina Donu, Deputy Head of the Diaspora Relations Bureau, presented the eMoldovaTa.gov.md platform, especially for Moldovan associations abroad. At the same time, Violina Donu thanked the leaders who managed to register and launch their own blog on eMolodvaTa.gov.md, this being an opportunity to highlight the activities and projects of the team represented by the presidents of associations and community leaders in the diaspora.

At the end of the meeting, participants exchanged information, presented their activity, discussed the plans they have for the next period, including the organization of Diaspora Days 2022. It was a heartfelt meeting during which diaspora compatriots shared their experience with the BRD team and came up with some suggestions that would facilitate and stimulate more citizens from abroad to apply to the Programs implemented by BRD. In particular, they came with the request to receive support for writing projects, expressing their desire to take a training course on this subject.

Nadejda Zubco, the head of BRD, thanked all the compatriots, who were receptive and showed interest in the organized event and in the constructive and interesting dialogue.
