Meet the Steering Group Dear Members of DYPALL, I would like to use this opportunity to present you some of the people that have been working very intensively but quite on the shadow during the last months for DYPALL Network development. As you already know we have establish an interim steering group composed by 5 organizations from different parts of Europe, that bring on board different expertise to support us in these first steps of our cooperation network. You will find some the results of our work in the reports and in the newsletters.

Milos Ristovski in currently coordinating the Center for Intercultural Dialogue (CID) – in Macedonia and he has been appointed by the organization due to his vast experience on youth policy at local and national level to join our steering group. Iveta Balcune has been working with and in Municipalities as a senior officer for many years – she’s working in the Rēzekne District Municipality – in Latvia and representing the NGO “For active society”.
