Building National Member Capacity
The voice of digestive cancer Patients and their Carers should be heard in every European country with the same power and professionalism. We work with our national Members to increase their local membership numbers and to share best practices with other Members. We also work at setting up new organisations in underserved geographies.
We also want to make sure that the voice of digestive cancer Patients is represented in all decision-making bodies. No decision about us, without us.
Our Capacity Building Projects
Our Masterclass is an annual gathering of collaborating, learning, and advocating for the digestive cancer community.
We work to build our Members’ abilities to support patients through organising workshops and training. DiCE regularly allocate unrestricted operational grants to support Member Organisations with their projects, activities and campaigns.
Helping Members to attract patients to their local organisations is one of our continuous projects.
If countries or regions are lacking in patient representation, we look to set up new associations.
Working together makes us stronger. Some examples of groups we work with: EPF, ECPC, WECAN, All.Can, ECCO
