Potential for learning or transfer
For project partners could be interesting the initiative, which assures assistance for the NGOs through our institution. The call for proposal could be a model to be adopted. Through this program we offer an opportunity for those people, who do not have the possibility to purchase traditional folk costumes. We suggest for the interested partners to launch such a program, according to their possibilities and to get acquainted with the financing method.
