On 4^th June Local Democracy Agency in Subotica  (LDA Subotica) organised a local path activity within the project VALID – European Cities – Strengthening Common Values of Solidarity and Intercultural Dialogue funded by the Europe for Citizens Programme.

ركز النشاط على موضوع حق المواطنين في المشاركة في تبني وصنع سياسات عمومية بالإضافة إلى إمكانيات التنمية في الحكم الذاتي المحلي والحوكمة الرشيدة والمسؤولة على المستوى المحلي وذلك بناء على مبادئ الحوار الاجتماعي وبين الثقافات.

Representatives of CSOs, academia, local institutions as well as citizens gathered to elaborate the prospects of local democracy and pathways for improving citizen’s participation in the local community. The objective of the meeting was to discuss local policy actions of importance to improve the culture of participation, while focusing on intercultural dialogue.

عند التعمق، ناقش المشاركون الحاجة إلى مقاربات أكثر ادماجاً لمشاركة المواطن في صنع السياسات، وأكدوا على الالتفات إلى منتدى المواطنين كأداة ممكنة للتحاور مع الحكومة المحلية.

تم كذلك التطرق إلى مبادرات محلية حول مواضيع تهم المواطنين كأدوات ناجعة لتعزيز مشاركة المواطنين والتزامهم. وتم كذلك التركيز على الفن والثقافة كوسائل مهمة في تيسير الحوار والمشاركة، مما يمكن استعماله لاحقاً في الحلقات التالية من المشروع. إن تكريس المقاربات الاجتماعية ومتعددة الثقافات في عملية صنع السياسات والقرارات يمثل حجر الأساس لمشروع "فالد" الذي سيتم تفعيله العام القادم.

On Tuesday 6th of July 2021, within the “Gruppo Scintilla” projects, locals had the occasion to jump into history and meet Antonio Pigafetta, a geographer and writer, who walked down the streets of Vicenza, back in the XV° century.  The association Pigafetta 500, together with ALDA, organised an event dedicated precisely to him. Being an “active citizen”,  more than 500 years ago, his actions positively affected the Italian history. Let’s find out why.

As recalled by Stefano Soprana – President of the association, this historic figure is still quite mysterious. Thanks to research and analysis, today we know that he took part in the first tour around the world, together with Magellano, with whom he had a strong and trustful relationship. More in detail, his  fame is related to the  journal he wrote during his adventure around the Earth, which still represents a milestone not only in history, but also in cuisine.

وبإحضاره للأعشاب والتوابل عند عودته من سفره، أدخل "بيغافيتا" ابتكاراتٍ على الحياة اليومية للناس. وقد استوحت الفعالية من ذلك التركيز على التفاعل بين المشاركين الذين كان عليهم ترصيع رؤية عن العالم بعناصر مختلفة تتنوع بين الأعشاب ولحاء الأشجار والتوابل والرمل. وقد اشترك الأطفال والآباء والأجداد في اللعب والسعي إلى اكتشاف المزيد عن هذا الرحّالة والكاتب العظيم.

People from different generations gathered together in “Firenze street”, and let themselves be involved in this event. Max, a guy living in this street, played music from his balcony; Igi, musician and storyteller, read some extracts from Pigafetta’s book. Storekeepers opened their shops, shared electricity and products with participants: everyone was there to join!

 The occasion also served as a moment of fundraising for the Scintilla Group, with which this event was related to.  After such a great day, ALDA looks forward to the next meetings which will take place on July 31st at 6 PM CET  at “Pampas – Il Giardino Inclusivo”. More information soon!

يعيدك مشروع صدمة الحقيقة إلى التاريخ!

Within the “Rude Awakening” project, a videogame has been developed so that to both bring the younger generation back to the museum; and to learn about history.

بعد ما يربو على عام، يسرّ "ألدا" وشركاءها أن تعلن أن المخرج الأساسي لهذا المشروع جاهز للاستعمال

Realised by the Rome-based creative hub Centounopercento – 101% studios on the initiative of the Foundation Belvedere-Gschwent (Lavarone, Italy), the video game offers the possibility to undertake a multimedia journey to discover life “on the front line”, to find out more about how historic events have influenced everyday life. Besides, it allows us to also reflect on the present in which we are living in. More in details, the game retraces the life of soldiers during the First World War, and it will be soon available at Forte Belvedere in Lavarone (Italy) from 19 August and from September in all the museum sites of the European project partners in Austria, Slovenia, and North Macedonia.

وأخيراً وليس آخراً، فإن عرض الفيديو للعبة "صدمة الحقيقة" متاح الآن على الانترنت، وقد أداره فنياً رينزو كاربونيرا وإبداعياً دانيال ازارا.

We are pleased to inform you that ALDA has recently entered the network of Paesi dell’Acqua (PDA) (Lands of Water) Cultural Association. In line with its commitment in support of sustainable and green policies at local level, joining the PDA network represents for ALDA a chance to engage on a debate with other CSOs and LAs focusing on creating awareness towards the sustainable management of such an important resource as water. 

PDA – was established in 2015 as a natural consequence of a process developed in collaboration with the Municipality of Sassinoro (BN), in conjunction with the World Water Day created by the United Nations.

It aims to address the issue of development and protection of water resources by developing a national and international network of professionals able to collect good practices, to respond effectively to environmental criticality, to promote studies and research in order to develop a lively debate that would also involve the communities, a debate that effectively boosts participation and implementation of best practices characterised by innovation and development.

The Association is looking for developing effective collaborations with Municipalities, Associations, and other Organisations to create an intangible network committed to the protection of environment and sustainable management of water resources. This network – RETE DEI PAESI DELL’ACQUA (PDA Network) – will aim to effectively respond to territorial challenges, to promote initiatives, studies and research and to encourage a constant debate through the exchange of good practices and trigger innovative processes. 

The network is growing faster and has been joined by several international organisations brought together by the common purpose of taking care of water resources. Last but not least, every year PDA organises the public event ‘Sassinoro Paese dell’Acqua’, a forum on best practices about water management and environmental sustainability, which celebrates its  13^، edition! The latter will take place from August 19^، to 24^،, 2021 in Sassinoro – BN (Italy). 

ALDA is very much glad to be part of this network, and it looks forward to share its knowledge when it comes to water management and green. Together for the planet!

The AVATAR project (Alto Vicentino, Alleanza per Azioni in Rete) strongly believes in the importance of sharing and exchanging practices, activities and experiences with other organisations and networks whose projects are coherent with AVATAR objectives. To this end, we have launched a “Call for Best Practices on e-government and Open government” addressed to local authorities in the European Union and in the neighbouring countries.

This initiative allows us to establish close relationships and contacts with new partners and projects, with the aim to promote collaboration among various local realities. From this it follows that, the overall goal is to foster greater coordination and harmonisation of activities and practices, benefitting both project, and the involvement of citizens of small realities in Italy and abroad.

Thanks also to the contribution and commitment of public administrators who strongly believe in digitalisation as a means to strengthen citizens’ participation in local self-government, by sharing and exchange of best practices we intend to increase the value of the AVATAR project itself.

Last but not least, digitalisation is an essential aspect when promoting a transparent and efficient relationship between citizens and public administrations.
