In addition to linking civil society organisations to pro bono lawyers, Pro Bono Connect encourages pro bono work in the Netherlands. We encourage lawyers to do pro bono work and introduce civil society organisations to the added value of pro bono support. We do this by organising meetings and workshops to exchange experiences with and knowledge about pro bono work. We also organise a series of events during the annual European Pro Bono Week and work closely with European partners in the field of pro bono work.
