Areas of Ecumenical Cooperation
Below is an overview of the ecumenical areas in which we cooperate and where mutual collaboration can be further developed.

Cooperation with Church Leadership
For relations at the level of church leadership, three main areas are essential:

• Partnerships – visits and exchange of information with representatives of partner churches
• International stays – for church employees and volunteers
• Projects – gifts and grants to and from the Czech Republic, joint project planning, the “Round Table”, European funds

For these areas, please contact Eva Balcarová (or Nikolas Sabo).
