The Belgrade Open School is organizing the eighth consecutive conference Move.Link.Engage: The Power of Partnership, which will be held on November 15 and 16, 2022, in a hybrid format.

This year, at the conference, you can expect stories about the importance and strength of cooperation between the civil society, business and public sectors.

Why is it important today, more than ever, to talk about intersectoral cooperation?

The events we have witnessed in the past three years have shown how important the joint action and partnership of all three sectors is. The creation of a common vision and the concretization of cooperation between the civil, business and public sectors opens many doors for the initiation of changes in society. Recognizing the needs, potential solutions and opportunities for cooperation between the three sectors is a necessary prerequisite for the sustainable development of society. Topics of common interest of all sectors, which are the focus of this year's MLE conference, are: environmental protection, improving the employability of young people, social responsibility and conscientious corporate management. Through changes based on evidence and facts, the synergistic action of all sectors of society will contribute to the mapping of challenges, as well as road signs to solutions.

Move.Link.Engage. represents a unique forum that encourages open debates on topics related to advocacyeducation, and networking. A conference is a gathering place for experts from the civil, business, and public sector - representatives of national, regional, and EU institutions, decision-makers, local drivers of changes, academic community as well as all active citizens. 

In the past seven-year, MLE has gathered more than 145 speakers1,500 participants had a chance to listen to them on more than 40 panels. We are proud that more than 12 donors have recognized the quality of our conference and enabled us to plan and organize this event with their support.
