Discover the Internet platform REMEMBRANCE OF THE MACEDONIAN FRONT OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR
In the framework of the action “The First World War in the Republic of Macedonia” an internet platform entitled DISCOVER REMEMBRANCE OF THE MACEDONIAN FRONT OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR was created in order to capitalise on the work and research realised by the partners from Normandy and Macedonia.
The internet platform aims to raise awareness on the history of this front which has been neglected in the collective memory, and which was situated for the most part on the current territory of the Republic of Macedonia. The objective of this platform is to document the Macedonian front by gathering multidisciplinary information: from military history, social history, ethnology, geography, as well as remembrance, peace and reconciliation. The platform hosts informative, scientific and pedagogical documents on the Macedonian front. “Visit the Macedonian front” is an innovative feature of this platform which is dedicated to the memorial tourism of the Macedonian front in the Republic of Macedonia and offers indications on the locations key for the events of the First World War and which still today bear its traces and relics.
This platform is created by ALDA in the framework of the decentralised cooperation between Normandy and Macedonia, supported by the action “Normandy for peace” of the Region Normandy and the French Ministry of foreign affairs.

Student Talent Bank – «L’entrepreneuriat à l’école»
ALDA, en partenariat avec la ville de Sceaux, vous invite à participer à la conférence « L’entrepreneuriat à l’école ». L’événement aura lieu dans la salle du conseil de l’hôtel de ville de Sceaux, le 14 juin à 19h, et réunira des représentants des autorités locales, des établissements scolaires locaux, du secteur privé, des organisations de la société civile et le grand public afin d’échanger connaissances, expériences, et bonnes pratiques sur comment l’éducation entrepreneuriale et la transmission de l’esprit d’entreprise peuvent servir d’outils dans la lutte contre le décrochage scolaire.
Cette conférence marque le lancement du projet « Student Talent Bank » (description en anglais), financé par le programme ERAMUS+ de l’Union Européenne et mis en place par un consortium de 7 organisations à travers l’Europe.
Ce projet a pour but de promouvoir l’éducation entrepreneuriale dans les collèges auprès des enseignants afin d’empêcher l’abandon scolaire précoce, de faciliter la transition entre l’école et le monde du travail, et d’accroître l’engagement des élèves, en particulier dans les établissements qui enregistrent un fort pourcentage d’élèves issus de minorités ethniques ou nés à l’étranger. Dans ce but, Student Talent Bank va enrichir les enseignants en matière de compétences entrepreneuriales et d’esprit d’entreprise afin de susciter un plus grand engagement scolaire. Puis une plateforme en ligne sera créée, la Student Talent Time Bank (Banque de Talents des Élèves), qui aura à la fois un rôle de motivation et d’outil permettant aux élèves de se mobiliser, et aidera ainsi les enseignants à gérer les abandons scolaires.

L’Europa nei Balcani Occidentali - il contributo di ALDA alla sfida della trasformazione democratica
L’evento rappresenta un momento di dibattito sul ruolo degli enti, istituzioni e associazioni europee nello sviluppo della società civile e democratica nei paesi dei Balcani Occidentali.
La conferenza si terrà il giorno Martedì, 29 Maggio 2018, dalle ore 18:00 alle 19:30 presso l’Università degli Studi di Trieste, Edificio H3, Aula 1A. Interverranno come relatori il dott. Alessandro Perelli, vicepresidente dell’ALDA European Association for Local Democracy, il dott. Francesco Pala, assistente del segretario generale dell’ALDA, il dott. Ugo Poli, Project Manager presso Central European Initiative (CEI) e il prof. Ezio Benedetti, docente di Diritto Internazionale e Team Leader del progetto Young Cell Scheme in Kosovo e Action Senior Expert nel quadro del progetto di riconciliazione regionale denominato EU Scheme for Young Professionals in the Western Balkans. Il moderatore sarà Nikola Sandić, studente del Corso di Laurea in Scienze Internazionali e Diplomatiche presso l’Università degli Studi di Trieste nonché vicepresidente dell’Associazione Culturale Giovanile Serba.
Tra gli obiettivi primari vi è quello di analizzare le azioni specifiche che la comunità europea adopera a sostegno degli sforzi di trasformazione sostenuti dai Balcani Occidentali in settori di reciproco interesse; così come determinare gli ostacoli delle realtà regionali e locali nello sviluppo di una società civile e democratica costruita dal basso. Si cercherà inoltre di aprire un dibattito con i presenti per capire se e attraverso quali strumenti la città di Trieste e quindi la sua Università possono assumere un ruolo attivo di collegamento con la società civile e le realtà accademiche nei paesi dei Balcani Occidentali.

ALDA – The European Association for Local Democracy, in partnership with the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation Amphictyony, invite you to participate in the URGENT Final Conference “Reactivating European urban citizenship: a network of inclusive towns”. The event will be taking place in the city of Agia Varvara in Greece, on the 31ش of May and will bring together representatives from local authorities, civil society associations, universities and experts to exchange knowledge, experience and good practices on the topic. In the afternoon, the URGENT Inclusion Fair will take place to allow local organisations to present themselves and their activities, as well as to exchange ideas on common topics of interest.

Being now close to the project completion, the 13 project partners can already put forward the lessons learned and experiences accumulated throughout the international seminars and activities implemented in the framework of the local path.
The project methodology allowed 11 cities to develop territorial analyses and familiarise with the local migration issues. Based on the identified local needs, each partner has launched a consultation to develop a pilot project and further implement it in their cities. In parallel the 3 international seminars allowed the partners not only to exchange knowledge and experience on socio-spatial inclusion but also to develop a network capable to put forward position papers and recommendations on the addressed issue.
Project partners are meeting in Athens from 30 May to 1 June to share results of the pilot projects and to conclude the project. During this last international seminar, the partners will develop a city manifesto to build a common understanding about interculturality, social inclusion, integration of migrants and the right to the city foe newcomers. The project results will be valorised in a handbook collecting the experiences of the enactment that overcome stereotypes about migrants and build counter narratives.
ALDA invites all interested stakeholders to join our work on fostering social inclusion of migrants and vulnerable groups at the local level and to make urban spaces a better place to live in.

LDA Mostar implements the local activities within the Balkan Kaleidoscope project
As a part of the local activities within the Balkan Kaleidoscope project, during March 2018, LDA Mostar organized and implemented two workshops titled ”Multiperspectivity in history teaching” for the young people aged 16-30. The workshop aimed to help young people understand the complexity and delicacy of intercultural dialogue through the use of a methodology of different perspectives and narratives that nurtures critical and unbiased thinking.
The workshops program and methodology were in line with the training for history teachers held in Osijek (Croatia) in November 2017, which aimed to qualify 40 teachers for teaching history on multipespecitivity basis.
The aforementioned workshops were followed by the study visit of all of the participants to three religious communities and their religious buildings in the City of Mostar surroundings: Monastery in Zitomislici, Mosque in Pocitelj and Caritas Capljina. The goal was to experience different communities all destroyed by the war happenings and rebuilt all over again, and whose population once refugees are today back to their homes and trying to rebuild intercultural relationships once again.
LDA Mostar finalized the local activities by awarding the certificates to our workshop participants and presenting the results of their work.
The projects final conference with the presentation of the project results is planned to be held in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of September 2018.
