The social media series ‘The Power of Many’ aims to showcase impactful stories from civil society organisations that operate at the national level, bringing their voices to the forefront. Every two weeks, we bring attention to a different civil society organisation, which provides their perspective on how they work to improve people’s daily lives, how their tasks bridge citizens and the EU, and how being part of an EU network supports their work.

“Part of the work we do in Spain is channeling European knowledge, information, and opportunities to local organisations and to the people”. Hear from Brian Reyes, Support Officer for Volunteer Engagement and Partnerships, Observatory, and European Affairs at the Spanish Platform for Volunteering.

“We ensure that the voices of people with disabilities reach European institutions, not by speaking for them, but by amplifying their stories and evidence”. Hear from Blandine Bouniol, Deputy Director for Advocacy and Institutional Relations at Humanity & Inclusion in Belgium.
