The U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen together with the Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP) has announced a limited competition for a cooperative agreement to implement a two-day TechCamp workshop from June 25-27 in Copenhagen, Denmark, and to support follow on activities after the workshop.
The workshop will bring together Danish and pan-Scandinavian CVE practitioners and social media opinion makers under the theme of further improving society’s inclusion of immigrant and refugee youth and moving away from parallel societies and radical messaging.
