20 Years of CFs in V4 Conference

20 Years of CFs in V4 Conference

The Conference’s purpose was to celebrate the 20 years’ of community foundations in the Visegrad region. To enrich the perspectives available we asked those community foundation professionals who came to the region at the ‘beginning’ to reflect on questions about their first experiences in the region, achievements that we should be proud of, funny/weird experiences, and global issues/trends that we should be aware of in the upcoming years. Here are the reflections we have received so far:
