      About the project<\/em><\/p>\n

      It is a three-year cooperation project funded by the European Union (under the EuropeAid Dear action) with the participation of thirty five (35) partners, from 14 European countries.<\/p>\n

      Specifically, 17 local authorities and 14 civil society organizations participate in this project. Snapshots From The Borders aims to improve the critical understanding of European, national and local decision-makers and the general public about the global interdependencies that determine migratory flows to European borders, in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n

      In particular, the project aims to create a new trans-European network of cities directly addressing migration flows across the EU border, as a means of promoting more effective cohesion policies at all levels (European, national and local).<\/p>\n

      An electronic resolution has been created as part of the project to declare October 3, European Day of Remembrance.<\/p>\n

      Partners in Greece are:<\/p>\n
