Participation in COM’ON Cluj-Napoca-Youth Participatory Budgeting project part of Cluj 2015, European Youth Capital.
Starting January 20, 2015, Multicultural Business Institute enrolled in COM’ON Cluj-Napoca-Youth Participatory Budgeting in Cluj 2015, European Youth Capital. Young people, migrants and Romanian alike, were introduced to the COM’ON project by its initiators: PONT Group in partnership with Cluj Intercultural Awareness Organisation (CIAO), SHARE Federation and Cluj-Napoca City Hall and Council.
The strategic aim of the COM’ON Cluj-Napoca project was to create a portfolio of 250 small projects that were proposed by informal groups of young people (regardless of ethnicity, gender, work experience or academic background status, place of origin), addressed to the local community, voted by the Cluj youth and financed by Cluj-Napoca Municipality. The projects had to contribute to the inhabitant’s active participation in the life of the community, involve inhabitants in proactive actions, unfold in public and common spaces and assure free entry for the inhabitants without any financial barrier (ticket).
