3.2. The meetings of the CCB organizations. Considering that applicants must provide at least 35% of the project costs as own funds to complete the grant, the civil society organizations can support the organization of the workshop financially. The NPM asked the CCB member organizations to signal by the end of January at the latest if they wished to participate in the project and if yes, in what form. Furthermore, CCB members may also submit an application to the Fund on their own. There are two important criteria for that: firstly, the project must be connected with one or two recommendations of the SPT, and secondly, the application material must include the NPM’s declaration of consent. He recommended for reading the information displayed on the SPT’s website about previous successful applications. Answering a question from the representative of the Hungarian Psychiatric Association, the Deputy Head of Department said that the SPT supports practice-oriented and interactive events. Therefore the workshop planned by the NPM would be organized with 40-50 participants. In the planning phase of the application, it is advisable to find a topic for discussion in which no trainings were recently funded by the SPT. The representative of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee expressed her thanks for the proactive approach, and signalled the HHC’s interest in attending the workshop, but she also deemed it unlikely that on top of their ongoing projects, they would apply to the Fund on their own. She brought it up for consideration that a whole day should be dedicated to the discussion of each and every topic. In addition to facilitating meaningful work, this would also make it possible for the representatives of several civil society organizations with relevant expertise to participate in the moderation of a given panel. In her view, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee could contribute more substantially to the panel discussing the special needs of foreigners or ethnic minorities than the one about LMBTQ issues. She wondered if it was reasonable to have all participants take part in all the panels of the event. In her experience, this type of arrangement does not enhance in-depth work. According to the Head of Department, all participants should be given an opportunity to attend those panels that might be of interest for them. The representative of the Cordelia Foundation suggested that the clearly defined interviewing techniques of the Istanbul Protocol could be integrated into this project. The representative of the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union said that they would be happy to take part in the workshop, but they could contribute more efficiently to the discussion about the interviewing of children with disabilities than to the topic of LGBTQ. He suggested the involvement of Háttér Society in connection with these issues. The representative of the Hungarian Psychiatric Association asked whether it would be possible to print out – in the framework of an application – the 35
