Work Groups
The work groups are the real "think tanks" of the network: they think along the main lines of action. Each group has a couple of coordinators at its head. The groups meet up every one to two months, alternating face-to-face and remote meetings. In both cases the FIRENDO network covers the costs for web-conferences and travelling.
L’appel à participation est ouvert de façon permanente et repose sur le principe du volontariat.
