Also, she informed participants about the aim and activities of the local expert team and announced the upcoming motivational meetings in which the participants expressed their willingness to participate.

Additionally, members shared their positive experiences and new knowledge gained from the five-day training with EU experts in Zagreb named "Monitoring of the Policies Related to Good Governance and Anti-discrimination". Project coordinator thoroughly presented the monitoring forms created  during the training, and special attention was paid to the inclusion of monitoring of discrimination and good governance during its preparation.

Furthermore, they shared the problems of discrimination in employment that Roma people and people with disabilities are facing, and as well about other cases of discrimination that were noted in  these target groups. Participants carefully contemplated suggested monitoring forms and provided constructive proposals. They concluded that the monitoring forms will be adjusted to the needs of target groups in Slavonski Brod due to posted indicators and research methods.

Members think that results will be achieved with an establishment of productive inter-sectoral cooperation and regular implementation of activities by local expert teams. Mapping of Action Plan will also result in decreasing of discrimination cases concerning the target groups and good governance concerning local government bodies and the public institutions.
