The meetings focused on topics such as <\/span><b>Actor &amp; Tactics Mapping, Advocacy Goals, Problem Detectors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as well as developing <\/span><b>Three Ideas for Citizen Engagement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These meetings served as an introduction to the work carried out during the Regional Pride Academy in Belgrade and enabled participants, through an exchange of experiences and collaborative work, to map key issues, actors, and possible advocacy approaches in their respective communities. The results of the online work served as the basis for developing the <\/span><b>Pride Volunteer Playbook<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which participants continued working on during the Academy itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim of the Playbook is to provide volunteers with practical guidelines for organising Pride events, engaging citizens, building support, and responding to the challenges faced by Pride organisations across the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThis article was produced within the framework of the project Regional Pride Academy, which is supported by the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.
