For 30 years, CISU has worked to strengthen the role of civil society in international development. The anniversary will be celebrated throughout 2025 with a series of events, competitions, and stories highlighting the past, present, and future of civil society's efforts worldwide.
The first major anniversary event will take place on February 28 at Villa Kultur in Copenhagen. Speakers from Denmark and abroad will share their experiences and perspectives on the global role of civil society. Among the speakers are:
ð¹ Nana Afadzinu (WASCI, Ghana) â on local leadership and global collaboration
ð¹ Lucia Ortiz (Friends of the Earth, Brazil) â on the climate struggle and the role of civil society in the Global South
ð¹ Danish civil society organizations â on their experiences and role in a global context
Participation is free, and there will be opportunities to network in an informal setting with a bar and discussions about the future of civil society.
