Network of Prevention Centres of Central Macedonia
The aim of the network is to support its members by strengthening their operation and promoting the implementation and dissemination of successful and innovative projects in the field of prevention, thus contributing to better documenting proposals for the development of a prevention policy and also to the utilization of financial resources other than those offered by OKANA or the Ministry of Interior, e.g. such as European programmes.
The above objective is met through the development of better cooperation between the employees of the aforementioned Prevention Centres and the effective handling of any problem that arises, whether it is a common problem or a problem of an individual Centre. To this end, various horizontal cooperation groups are set up, e.g. of the Scientific Managers or staff of the above-mentioned Centres.
