“I was fortunate to be invited to attend the REC training event in Montenegro, and I must say it was a deeply interesting, moving and useful experience on many different levels.
The quality and variety and relevance of the speakers, trainers and participants is the best I have ever come across and I do attend such events regularly.
The work and interaction of participants and subsequent work coming out of the event was huge and lively and has already created a lot of relevant work and opportunities for us.
I felt as an event for creating change, it was marvelous - the programme was ambitious - the logistics of getting so many shakers and movers and opinion formers in one place - was challenging and the whole thing was extremely well organized.
And I do admire the organizers and congratulate them sincerely - well done - I am most keen to attend regularly - it was a lovely, enjoyable and very worthwhile event,
well done to all concerned!”

“Eighty people from different parts of Balkans and Central Europe, eighty people from different backgrounds, all committed to learn exchange and disseminate information on sustainable development. This was my experience in Budva, Montenegro, as lecturer in the course "Sustainable Development: Good Governance", perfectly organized by REC.
Bringing together people from different cultures contributes immensely not only to a more sustainable, but also to a more open-minded, more dynamic and more democratic Europe.”

“The course was an excellent opportunity for exchanging knowledge and experiences, gaining new competencies and clarifying some aspects related to a very complex concept – sustainability.

Tackling such a concept was a real challenge both for speakers and the participants. Some people were very open and active in discussion, some more reserved, but all showed many enthusiasm and willingness to learn and share.  

One week, almost 80 participants, many speakers, lots of presentations, lectures, exercises, group work, assignments, discussions, networking and fun, are some of the words which could best characterize this course on Sustainable Development: Good Governance organized in a beautiful area of Montenegro.

I am very positive that many participants appreciated the course, due to its quality and relevance.”
