The “heart” project “one soul, one CROATIA”, is developing a thematic network that brings together stakeholders around the thematic area of emigration as a driver for development in Croatia. The project empowers civil society from the RH and from the diaspora for equal dialogue with policy makers at local, regional and national level, the economic sector and scientific educational institutions. The project encourages scientific research and cross-sectoral cooperation in shaping public policies that are conducive to the contribution of the Croatian diaspora towards socio-economic development in the Republic of Croatia.
