Strengthening the cooperation with Universities: ALDA and the University of Bologna and Trieste sign the internship agreement
Since the beginning of its activity, ALDA – the European Association for Local Democracy – is deeply engaged in the promotion of good governance, local democracy, citizen participation and decentralised cooperation, working side by side with civil society organisations and Local Authorities, and it has been working on the cooperation with Universities for a long time.
Several kinds of cooperation have been developed until now: some Universities are actively involved in ALDA’s activities as members, such us the European University of Tirana in Albania, the International Institute for Peace and Human Rights in France, the جامعة تبليسي التعليمية ، جورجاسالي in Georgia, the Ukrainian School of Political Studies in Ukraine, the Center of Documentation and Studies on complex organisations and local systems وأجندة IUAV – University of Venice in Italy.
Another relevant goal achieved by ALDA together with Universities is represented by the project Re.Cri.Re – Between the Representation of Crisis and the Crisis of Representation, funded by the EU Commission in the framework of the programme Horizon 2020. In this project, focusing on the change of social identity of European societies, partners involved are 15 Universities from all around Europe: Aalborg University, Università del Salento, University Ta Malta, University of Cyprus, Aristotelio Penaptismo Thessalonikis, Università degli Studi Roma Tre, New Bulgarian University, Universiteit Van Amsterdam, Paneptismo Kritis (University of Crete), Tallinn University, University of Leicester, Ludwig-Maximilians Universitaet Muenchen, Université d’Aix Marseille, Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, and Istituto Scientifico Biomedico Euromediterraneo SCPA – ISBEM.
Furthermore, in addition to the several activities run with Universities, ALDA also provides with the opportunity of signing agreements in order to host interns in its offices in Brussels, Strasbourg, Vicenza and Skopje. This possibility is particularly important for young students and their educational and professional growth: they will be able to learn how the work of an international NGO is organised and how to fulfil specific and practical tasks working in the department they are interested in, such as the Secretariat, the Resources and Project Development Unit, the Department of Project Implementation (with the opportunity of a specific focus on different fields, like Active Citizenship, International Cooperation, Eastern Partnership, Mediterranean Partnership, Decentralisation), the Communication Department and the Financial Unit.
After the first internship agreement signed about one year ago with the Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic, also the University of Trieste and the University of Bologna, Italy, are now among the sending institutions that will provide young students with this opportunity. ALDA is very proud of this new cooperations, also considering the relevance of the University of Bologna, which is one of the oldest and , together with the University of Trieste, one of the most renowned Universities in Italy.
For further cooperation with ALDA, please find below the membership form, or contact Mattia Brazzale by email (mattia.brazzale@aldaintranet.org).

ALDA at Congress of Belarussian Studies in Kaunas
The Secretary General of ALDA, Antonella Valmorbida, attended the Congress of Belarussian Studies in Kaunas (Lithuania) invited by the Centre for European Transformation and the EuroBelarus Consortium, from Minsk.
The event, which took place from 2nd to 4th October, reached its 5th edition and gathered more than 400 representatives from different spheres (academics, civil society sector, social activities and more) to discuss about the development of the society in Belarus. ALDA had a place in the seminar dedicated to possible evolution of civil society and its strengthening. The debate was open after the great opportunities offered at the end of the Soviet Union for a possible societal change. Did we meet the opportunities and are there still some paths to follow? The discussion oriented the reflection towards a deepening of the civil society actors towards a more democratic and citizens’ based approach, which not necessarily is transformed into a more institutionalised approach to NGOs’ development.
“This is indeed our way of implementing activities in Belarus and with our local partners, such as the Lev Sapieha Foundation and EuroBelarus. We are very much interested to create a culture of participation and engagement rather than multiplying the numbers of NGOs, which are not the final goal of our action”, said Mrs. Valmorbida during the event.
For all, it was a good opportunity to refocus on the ongoing actions and to identify possible future cooperation.

MFE Vicenza organizza il convegno “L’Europa, l’Est ed il Mediterraneo. Tra esigenza di sicurezza ed opportunità di sviluppo”
Venerdì 23 ottobre, presso l’Università di Vicenza, la sezione di Vicenza del Movimento Federalista Europeo organizza, in collaborazione con ALDA – l’Associazione Europea per la Democrazia Locale, il convegno “L’Europa, l’Est ed il Mediterraneo. Tra esigenza di sicurezza ed opportunità di sviluppo”, a cui hanno aderito come promotori la Commissione Europea e la Camera di Commercio.
Il convegno si propone di analizzare le instabilità e i focolai di guerra accesi lungo i confini europei, in un arco che va da est, al medio oriente, fino alle coste africane. Gli attacchi terroristici nelle capitali e la crescente pressione delle ondate migratorie si aggiungono alle sfide dell’economia globalizzata, incoraggiando i paesi dell’Unione a proseguire sulla strada dell’integrazione.
L’unione non deve pertanto solo difendere la moneta unica, riformare le sue istituzioni, aprire nuovi spazi di partecipazione e democrazia, ma anche dotarsi con urgenza di una politica estera e di sicurezza unitaria e coraggiosa, verso est e nel Mediterraneo.
Le problematiche europee, d’altro canto, richiedono anche la partecipazione dal basso e il coinvolgimento dei cittadini, poichè senza di loro l’Europa non va avanti. Per maturare il necessario senso di appartenenza devono essere meglio informati e formati sulle problematiche che toccano i territori in cui vivono.
Tra i relatori che interveranno durante il convegno ricordiamo Riccardo Fiorentini, Direttore del polo scientifico – didattico “Studi sull’impresa” dell’Università di Verona, Giorgio Anselmi, Presidente MFE, Lucio Levi, Professore di Scienza Politica all’Università di Torino, Carlo Cabigiosu, Comandante del Comando Operativo di Vertice Interforze ed esperto di missioni internazionali, e Diego Rebesco, dell’Ufficio studio Cciaa Vicenza.

Il convegno si propone di analizzare le instabilità e i focolai di guerra accesi lungo i confini europei, in un arco che va da est, al medio oriente, fino alle coste africane. Gli attacchi terroristici nelle capitali e la crescente pressione delle ondate migratorie si aggiungono alle sfide dell’economia globalizzata, incoraggiando i paesi dell’Unione a proseguire sulla strada dell’integrazione.
L’unione non deve pertanto solo difendere la moneta unica, riformare le sue istituzioni, aprire nuovi spazi di partecipazione e democrazia, ma anche dotarsi con urgenza di una politica estera e di sicurezza unitaria e coraggiosa, verso est e nel Mediterraneo.
Le problematiche europee, d’altro canto, richiedono anche la partecipazione dal basso e il coinvolgimento dei cittadini, poichè senza di loro l’Europa non va avanti. Per maturare il necessario senso di appartenenza devono essere meglio informati e formati sulle problematiche che toccano i territori in cui vivono.
Tra i relatori che interveranno durante il convegno ricordiamo Riccardo Fiorentini, Direttore del polo scientifico – didattico “Studi sull’impresa” dell’Università di Verona, Giorgio Anselmi, Presidente MFE, Lucio Levi, Professore di Scienza Politica all’Università di Torino, Carlo Cabigiosu, Comandante del Comando Operativo di Vertice Interforze ed esperto di missioni internazionali, e Diego Rebesco, dell’Ufficio studio Cciaa Vicenza.
