CISU turns 30

We are celebrating three decades as a driving force for change, fueled by strong civil society organizations. Together, we will reflect on our shared experiences while also looking ahead to the role civil society will play in the future.

Throughout 2025, we invite member organisations and partners to join the celebration. On this page, you can stay updated on all the upcoming events and initiatives.

We have organized a variety of activities and initiatives centered around the anniversary. These include inviting everyone to participate in our photo competition with a special anniversary category, share a video greeting, or share a story from your organization. We will also release a special anniversary podcast series about CISU and launch a range of exciting events that highlight the vital role of civil society.

Explore the different opportunities below. We look forward to receiving your input and stories from the past 30 years.

Send us you video greetings

Help us celebrate CISU's 30th anniversary by sending us a video greeting! Your greeting will be edited together with others and used during anniversary events and on social media throughout 2025.

The video should last a maximum of 20 seconds, and we encourage you to film your face and upper body in portrait format. Remember that the camera should face you, and make sure to speak clearly without background noise, so we can hear you.
