Working mode, goals

Nowadays IDI is mainly active in the Balkan and Turkey. Together with like-minded liberal movements and political organisations we organise practical training-sessions and seminars on social-liberal thinking. Furthermore IDI maintains and develops relationships with like-minded political organizations across Europe. Respect for human rights and fundamental rights is a precondition for cooperation with IDI. Democratic movements and progressive or social liberal political parties are natural partners for IDI. The relationships are mutually beneficial. On the one hand, IDI offers practical knowledge for political partners in the project countries. On the other hand, D66 benefits through international cooperation and by exchanging ideas and learns from other parties’ democratisation experience. Projects of IDI are financially supported by the Matra Political Party Programme of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Topics

We used the DGs of the EU to generate a basic list of topics. This list is going to be steadily extended. However we try to preserve a persistent list of topics.
