In the programme, the trainers focused primarily on what can be achieved by the civil society organisations of a city without any special financial investment, simply by joining forces. During the programme, it soon became clear that the protection of the environment and the improvement and beautification of their immediate surroundings was a priority for the civic community. By the end of the day, they had created a joint project repository of ideas for improvement that they had developed together. The programme ended with a gala performance by the Tomory Gábor Folk Dance School, where members of the delegations themselves joined the dance on stage at the end of the evening.

5. Kézdivásárhelyre látogattak a civil szervezetek
A „Citizens for towns” program részeként 2024 októberében háromnapos találkozót tartottak Kézdivásárhely, amelyen romániai magyar, szlovákiai, lengyelországi, szlovéniai és szlovéniai civil szervezetek képviselői vettek részt. A rendezvény célja a nemzetközi együttműködés előmozdítása, a civil szervezetek közötti kapcsolatok erősítése és a városok közötti partnerség elmélyítése volt. A rendezvény programja: konferencia, civil szervezetek szakmai fóruma, helyi kistermelők látogatása, folklór előadás.
Részletes program: október 5-én, szombaton került sor nyitókonferenciára, ahol a vezető partner bemutatja a projektet, majd a résztvevő települések delegációinak bemutatkozása következik. A fogadó település civil szervezetei tartottak előadásokat, majd kapcsolatépítési lehetőségekről zajlott kerekasztal beszélgetés. Ezt követően városnézésre került sor. Vasárnap a résztvevők meglátogatták a Szentkereszty Stephanie által 1872-ben alapított helyi civil szervezetet, ahol megismerhették az intézmény működését. Ezt követen Szántó József mézeskalácskészítő műhelyében a hagyományos süteménykészítés megismerésére volt lehetőség, amely a város egyik jellegzetessége és kulturális örökségének része. Este pedig gálaesten vehettek részt a delegációk tagjai, ahol néptánc és népzenei előadás tartottak a Gábor Áron Néptáncegyüttes előadásában, a delegációk fellépésével. Hétfőn a rendezvény záró megbeszélése, a következő találkozó előkészítése volt a téma. A rendezvény értékes kapcsolatokat teremtett a civil szervezetek között, megalapozva a jövőbeli együttműködéseket és a legjobb gyakorlatok megosztását, amelyek hosszú távon támogathatják a városok közötti partnerségeket és fejlesztési kezdeményezéseket.
A találkozó lehetőséget biztosított a városok és a civil szervezetek közötti kapcsolatok előmozdítására és az együttműködés lehetséges területeinek megvitatására. A kulturális programok, a közös étkezések és a szervezett látogatások erősítették a résztvevők közötti bizalmat és partnerséget. A program sikeres volt, és hozzájárult a résztvevő városok közötti kapcsolatok megerősítéséhez, különös hangsúlyt fektetve a helyi civil közösségek bevonására.
