Resume

In the context of the fragile situation of dictatorship and oppression in Nicaragua, this project seeks to strengthen the voice and cohesion of Nicaraguan civil society in exile through increased articulation and coordination between social movements. Based in Costa Rica, the project will highlight the agendas and achievements of these movements, foster strategic dialogues, create shared narratives, and promote collective advocacy. Activities include communication campaigns, a visual timeline of the movement's milestones, opinion pieces, and virtual/physical dialogues. The project targets exiled activists and leaders while informing Nicaraguans and allies globally. The Danish partner, MAK, will support dissemination and learning.
