A More Impactful Varsinais-Suomi Together<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#003554″ text_direction=”default”]In Varsinais-Suomi, civil society cooperation is a strong part of the region’s vitality, participation, and well-being. The region has a broad and diverse civil society sector that complements public services, creates community, and strengthens residents’ well-being. The new regional strategy<\/a> recognizes the importance of organizations more clearly than ever, and they are involved in building a more sustainable and inclusive Varsinais-Suomi. <\/p>\n

Civil society cooperation is carried out in an open and interactive spirit. The Varsinais-Suomi Civil Society Forum is a joint network and annual event for the region’s organizations, bringing together actors from different sectors. The events are open and free of charge, and their aim is to increase participation, cooperation, and joint action across sectoral boundaries. <\/p>\n

The forum’s work is guided by the Civil Society Committee<\/a>, which serves as a cooperative body and advocate for organizations. The committee brings together civil society actors, promotes regional dialogue, and ensures that the expertise and voice of organizations are heard in Varsinais-Suomi’s decision-making and development work. <\/p>\n

Civil society cooperation in Varsinais-Suomi is above all partnership and working together, which increases well-being, strengthens democracy, and builds a vibrant region.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#FAD577″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50″ bottom_padding=”50″ left_padding_desktop=”50″ constrain_group_2=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”50″ top_padding_phone=”30″ bottom_padding_phone=”50″ left_padding_phone=”30″ constrain_group_6=”yes” right_padding_phone=”30″ bottom_margin=”50″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” id=”yellow3columns” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”default” text_color=”#003554″ text_direction=”default”]\n
