Project to be over - activity to be continued
On November 17, the Association of Stavropol Territory's Migrant Organizations "Solidarity" held a concluding meeting on the philanthropic project "Overcoming Informational Barriers". The project is carried out with the assistance of the Caucasian Knot information agency, the Memorial society, and the Open Society Institute (Soros Foundation). Activists from the territory's districts and towns who have been participants in the project were invited to the meeting. The project is to finish officially on November 25.
In the course of the project, the Association of Migrant Organizations collects and spreads information useful for displaced persons and poorly protected sections of people in the territory. This information is spread by means of the bulletin "Overcoming Informational Barriers" and stands made by activists in towns and villages of Stavropol Territory. 12 numbers of the bulletin have been published and over 20 informational stands have been made to date.
Meeting participants discussed preliminary results of the project, exchanged their opinions on the problems of gaining information, outlined plans for future information exchange cooperation, and set priority subject matters of publications in the bulletin "Overcoming Informational Barriers".
