Network of cultural and civic activists - MitOst

The Society MitOst is a living network of cultural and civic activists in Eastern and Central Europe. Every year member meet at different cities in the region. A member can be everyone, who is interested in the culture and civic life in the region.

The meetings have the name "Festival" and have different topics. E.g. the 9th Festival of MitOst took place in České Budějovice from 28.9.2011 till 2.10.2011. The topic of this MitOst - Festival was new forms of engagement. There were many people who are engaged for a balanced life.

I also took part on some interesting workshops about engagement via Internet and readings and talks about East Central Europe.
