In Gdansk to work for the coalition in support to the activities of LDA Mariupol

The civil society and the cooperation with institutions are fundamental to reconstruct Ukraine. On the first anniversary of the Russian invasion, ALDA organised a dedicated event in Gdansk (Poland), entitled “LDA Mariupol partners meeting”, to present the work of the Local Democracy Agency Mariupol, while discussing activities and future collaboration with new partners from EU countries.
“ALDA is working to create new LDAs in Ukraine; advanced discussions are underway regarding the establishment of LDAs in Vinnitsa, Kharkiv, Odessa, Mykolaiv”- stated ملتزمين جدًا بالتحدث عن – الأمين العام of the Association.
The same commitment to support the initiatives of the LDA was also echoed by Monika Chabior – Deputy Mayor of Gdansk. Besides, Ms. Chabior expressed both the will of the city to be engaged within youth projects – be they exchange programme, and Erasmus plus; and the newly implemented initiatives targeting the integration of Ukrainian inhabitants. Moreover, the city of Etterbeek (Belgium) and Distric 11 in Barcelona, invited to the meeting, were of like mind in engaging with LDA Mariupol.
Stakeholders and partners met in Gdansk to provide مخصصة aid and support to LDA Mariupol
The urgency to support the local community, previously mentioned by the LDA partners, was further stressed by Vadym Boychenko, Mayor of Mariupol, who not only shared the suffer and pain of the people of Mariupol, but also the importance of international support in the rebuilding and returning processes. Hence, the coordinated actions of international CSOs and networks around the above-mentioned phases is vital and crucial. This is also why the Vice-Rector of Mariupol University, Tetyana Marena, is in favour of further cooperation for the development of the LDA Mariupol project, thus further strengthening the bond between the Agency and the University, the latter hosting itself the premises of the LDA.
What emerged quite clearly during the meeting, was the necessity of providing مخصصة humanitarian aid to Ukraine, as emphasised by the speech of Olga Pikula – Member of Mariupol City Council, introducing the “Ya Mariupol” project, which has currently 17 offices across the country and carries out activities to support Mariupol residents on issues such as humanitarian aid, job search, psychological and medical support. Similarly, Oleksandra Kulichenko, representing LDA Mariupol, provided an overview on the initiatives implemented in support to city residents.
Overall, the meeting in Gdansk marked a fruitful moment for the further collaboration of different stakeholders with the LDA Mariupol, while stressing the importance of local communities in being resilient in war time. There is a need to restart locally for the reconstruction of the Country.

Local context and needs analysis after the pandemic: finalised the ReCAP project report

The first result of the ReCAP project has been successfully completed!
In the framework of the Project Result 1, the final report elaborated by the project partner, Solidaridad Sin Fronteras, with the contribution of all partners, aims to draw a picture of the post pandemic local contexts addressed, collecting the specific needs of young people from the point of view of professionals working with youth. The report is now available in English and it will soon be accessible in other 7 languages.
Through desk research and a detailed questionnaire, the ten project partners have investigated the social issues that the pandemic caused or worsened on young people. After having finalised it, the questionnaire was distributed among professionals working with youth and other relevant stakeholders from November 2022 to January 2023.
The research involved 124 professionals working with vulnerable young people, with the following distribution: Bulgaria (25), France (22), Italy (21), Romania (19), Portugal (18), Spain (10) and Greece (9). Most of them are women (69%) between 25 and 34 years old. In a previous phase, partners identified the stakeholders to address the questionnaire, in order to cover the main areas where stakeholders working with vulnerable youngsters can be found: municipal youth centres, educational centres, social work services, labour orientation services, security office, health centre, and others. According to data, the sector where the survey has been implemented the most is the educational sector, so it is over-represented and this has to be taken into account when looking at the overall results. The young population groups with whom these professionals work most often are: girls (39,67%), youth not in employment, education or training “NEET” (38,02%), youth with migrant background (33,88%), minorities (29,75%), youth from the LGBTIAQ+ community, youth with disabilities (3,30%) and minors in the penal system (1,65%).
Despite the disparities among the countries, some similarities can be found. The research shows that professionals working with youth are concerned about the negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic on psychological health and emotional well-being, and they pointed out the effects on socialisation, cultural life, studies and training. Results show that young people’s relationships within all the spheres of their lives have worsened, especially with the educational environment, with themselves and with the local community.
The Local Context and Needs Analysis Report draws a picture of the specific needs of young people in the post-pandemic period
Overall, the national results highlight that the services provision is now higher than before the pandemic, especially in Bulgaria and Greece, but with the exception of Italy. It is a general optimistic result that shows that the local services have probably adapted to the urgency of needs, and that highlights the resilience of the educational and social sector professionals. Young people seem to visit the services more often than before the pandemic, and they mostly need psychological and emotional health support and educational support. According to professionals, the use of psychological support is the most relevant tool to work with youngsters nowadays.
Moreover, the study reveals that most professionals consider artistic and cultural tools useful and motivating for youngsters, which is certainly an optimistic outcome that will ensure a positive uptake of the ReCAP project future tools.

2030 Youth Vision starts in Portugal: together to promote the active participation of youth

تم عقد اجتماع 2030 Youth Vision project has officially started!
On January 12 & 13, 2023, the Kick-Off Meeting of the project took place in Lousada (Portugal), where the consortium was kindly hosted by the Municipality of Lousada.
The first transnational partner meeting represented a great opportunity for the six partners to get to know each other and work on the next steps of the project.
Different challenges are faced by young people in the context of globalisation (demographic and climate changes, artificial intelligence, democratic disaffection or pandemics etc.) and very often they are left out from participatory processes at all levels.
2030 Youth Vision project, based on the wide experience of project partners on youth participation in civic and democratic life, aims to increase the active participation of young people, with a focus on those belonging to disadvantaged groups, in the co-production of local policies for the achievement of أهداف التنمية المستدامة.
It is of great importance that the voice of youth is effectively considered in the process and that young people are protagonists in the achievement of these goals.
2030 Youth Vision project aims to increase the active participation of young people, with a focus on those belonging to disadvantaged groups
During this two-days meeting, the consortium discussed the organisational, management and financial aspects of the 2030 Youth Vision project, as well as the communication and dissemination strategy to be implemented.
This Kick-Off meeting has been a great opportunity to lay the foundation of the project and build a strong partnership.
Metropolitan Cities and local inhabitants: fostering cooperation and increasing awareness on EU funds through “CAMELOT” project

The great international adventure of CAMELOT project (Cities And Metropolis in Europe Laboring Onward Together) ended on Thursday 16 February at Palazzo Isimbardi, the institutional headquarter of the Metropolitan City of Milan.
“Today we’re concluding this project, which has been able to promote eight events and lots of local activities, despite the pandemics” – stated Mr. Purcaro, General Director and Secretary of the Metropolitan City of Milan. “CAMELOT has favoured the cooperation between active citizens and public bodies” – he continued “in the process of building a metropolitan European identity”.
"CAMELOT has favoured the cooperation between active citizens and public bodies in the process of building a metropolitan European identity" - Mr. Purcaro, General Director and Secretary of the Metropolitan City of Milan
Hence, the added value of this project lays on the networking activities implemented among partners, in terms of exchanging experiences and good practices on the management of European funds, and improving the correct use of the latter. Thus, accessing fundings at EU level is a valuable way to support local bodies (Metropolitan Cities in this case) to empower citizens and improve their living conditions also in marginalised neighbourhoods.
Specifics and details of the targeted areas are available on the لموقع الالكتروني للمشروع, which collects all the results and events achieved and implemented within the 36 months-length of the project itself. In addition, in order to encourage citizens’ awareness and interest in this crucial topic, the outputs of the project are available online in different languages.
Overall, this final event contributed to achieve the aim of the project: encourage democratic and civic participation of citizens at a European level, while creating a network of Metropolitan Cities and fostering sharing of good practices and knowledge on European funds.

إعادة التواصل بالأعضاء والشركاء في أوكرانيا: ولاية بوتشا وماريوبول الجامعات جاهزة لتصبح أعضاء في ALDA

التركيز على المبادرة الرئيسية: تعزيز وكالات الديمقراطية المحلية في أوكرانيا #westandwithukraine
لا ينبغي ترك أحد خلف الركب ، خاصة في ظل ظروف الحرب. يعتبر دور المجتمع المدني والسلطات المحلية في بناء السلام وإعادة الإعمار الكفاح ضد الفظائع بسبب الغزو الروسي أمر أساسي. المؤسسات ، في نفس الوقت ، يجب أن تعمل المؤسسات أيضا بالتعاون مع بعضهم البعض ومع ممثلي المجتمعات المحلية لمزيد من المرونة خلال هذه الفترة في هذه الحرب.
تعمل ALDA بالضبط لتحقيق هذا الهدف: ربط المؤسسات ومنظمات المجتمع المدني معًا لإنشاء شبكة من أصحاب المصلحة الذين سيعيدون بناء أوكرانيا تدريجيا. وضمن الاستفادة من المعرفة العميقة بالمجتمع الأوكراني ، ومن المبادرات التي تم تنفيذها بالفعل مع كل من LDA Dnipro و LDA Mariupol ، خلال آخر مهمة إلى أوكرانيا.التقت السيدة فالموربيدا - الأمين العام لـ ALDA ؛ والسيد كويكا - منسق الشراكة الشرقية والسيد أوستروفسكي ، المسؤول عن تطوير LDAs في أوكرانيا مع الاطراف المتداخلة الذين شاركوا معهم في خلق مسار لإعادة الإعمار والصمود في أوكرانيا.
"قمنا بزيارة بوتشا ، وأبدى عمدة المدينة ، السيد فيدوروك ، رغبته في أن يصبح عضوًا في ALDA" ، صرحت السيدة فالموربيدا.
"بوتشا على استعداد لأن تصبح ليس فقط عضوًا في الجمعية ، ولكن أيضًا لفتح LDA في المدينة" - السيد أناتولي فيدورو رئيس بلدية بوتشا
علاوة على ذلك ، سمحت البعثة لوفد ALDA بإعادة الاتصال بالسيدة Lomakina - ممثلة LDA Mariupol , وبقية الاطراف المتداخلة مثل ببرنامج الأمم المتحدة الإنمائي (UNDP). كان الأخير من بين المروجين الرئيسيين للتدريبات التي تم تطويرها ضمن برنامج "منصة الإدارة الرشيدة وحماية البيئة" * والتي قدمتها السيدة فالموربيدا في عام 2021.
إن العلاقة مع مدينة ماريوبول عميقة وطويلة ومثرية للغاية لدرجة أن جامعة ماريوبول الحكومية بدأت أيضًا اجراءات العضوية في ALDA. وقد تمت زيارة الجامعة خلال مهمة فبراير وهي موجودة بسبب الحرب في كييف بسبب الحرب ، وهي تقدم الدعم للطلاب و تستضيف أيضًا LDA نفسها. وهذا الشكل من التضامن يجعل الجمعية متحمسة بشدة لتعاونها مع السلطات والجامعات المحلية الأوكرانية. كما أتيحت الفرصة للفريق للقاء عمدة ماريوبول ، فاديم بويتشينكو مرة أخرى.
بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، التقى وفد ALDA بالسيد سيرجي تشيرنوف ، , رئيس الرابطة الأوكرانية لمجالس المقاطعات والإقليمية الذين ناقشوا معه:
- أنشطة ALDA في أوكرانيا وتحديد الأولويات في تقديم المساعدة للحكومة الذاتية المحلية الأوكرانية ؛
- خارطة طريق التعاون في إشراك الحكومات المحلية في دول الاتحاد الأوروبي لدعم أوكرانيا ؛
- احتمالات فتح مكاتب تمثيلية لـ ALDA في خاركيف ومناطق أخرى من أوكرانيا
أخيرًا ، عُقدت اجتماعات حاسمة في السفارات البولندية والإيطالية والفرنسية لتمثيل متسامني أوكرانيا ، وفي الوقت نفسه ، المساهمة في التعاون مع المؤسسات الحكومية.
واختتم الأمين العام لـ ALDA "نحن تحالف عالمي للسلطات المحلية والمجتمع المدني لدعم الحكم المحلي الجيد ونحن نقف إلى جانب أوكرانيا" ، مشيرًا إلى الالتزام اللامتناهي لجمعية أوكرانيا من أجل السلام والديمقراطية. "
يتجلى الالتزام هذا الأسبوع من خلال تنظيم اجتماع شركاء LDA Mariupol في غدانسك (بولندا) في 24 فبراير 2022. تدعو ALDA المزيد من الشركاء للانضمام إلى المبادرة:

مرحبًا بـ ALDA Italia: فرع ALDA المسجل محليًا في إيطاليا!

مر زمن طويل منذ 17 ديسمبر 1999 عندما تم تسجيل ALDA رسميًا كجمعية غير ربحية تهدف إلى دعم وتنسيق شبكة وكالات الديمقراطية المحلية (LDAs).
في ذلك الوقت ، كانت ALDA - رابطة وكالات الديمقراطية المحلية (كان هذا هو الاختصار الأصلي) منظمة صغيرة جدًا مقرها ستراسبورغ ، ولها مكتب صغير آخر في فيتشنزا (إيطاليا). من هناك ، بدأ فريق صغير ولكنه متحمس للغاية العمل من أجل تطوير LDAs وجمعية ALDA نفسها: لقد كان تحديًا كبيرًا واجهناه من الصفر.
نتيجة لذلك ، بعد 23 عامًا ، أثبتت ALDA أنها قد واجهت التحدي ، خطوة بخطوة لتصبح الرابطة الأوروبية الواسعة والمعترف بها كما هي اليوم.
بمرور الوقت ، نمت ALDA ليس فقط في الأنشطة والشركاء ، حيث تحولت من 5 مشاريع و 5 أعضاء في عام 1999 إلى 90 مشروعًا قائمًا حاليًا وشبكة تتكون من 300 عضو.
بل قامت ALDA أيضا بإجراء تغييرات متسقة من وجهة نظر هيكلية:
- من مكتبين بالكاد ، لدى ALDA اليوم فريق تشغيلي موجود في 6 مكاتب في جميع أنحاء أوروبا وفي الجوار ؛
- من 5 LDAs في غرب البلقان ، وصلنا إلى 16 LDAs و 3 OPs تغطي مناطق جغرافية جديدة ، مثل القوقاز والشراكة الشرقية والشرق الأوسط وأفريقيا وتركيا ؛
- في عام 2017 ، أسست ALDA شركة ALDA + Srl Benefit Corporation ، وهي شركة المزايا المملوكة حصريًا لـ ALDA والتي تهدف إلى الاستفادة من خبرة ALDA بطريقة مسؤولة ومستدامة وشفافة لدعم مهمة ALDA نفسها.
على الرغم من كل هذه النجاحات والمعالم ، تجد ALDA نفسها في عملية مستمرة من النمو والتحسين ، من أجل عمل أكثر فعالية لدعم المجتمعات المحلية في جميع أنحاء العالم ، وتعزيز الحكم الرشيد ومشاركة المواطنين.
ALDA في عملية مستمرة من النمو والتحسين ، من أجل اتخاذ إجراءات أكثر فاعلية لدعم المجتمعات المحلية في جميع أنحاء العالم
لهذا السبب ، من بين أحدث التحديات التي تواجه ALDA أن تصبح أكثر "محلية" ، وإنشاء روابط أعمق ويكون لها تأثير أقوى داخل المجتمع الذي يقع مقر ALDA ومكاتبها فيه.
في هذا السياق ، ينطلق عام 2023 بأخبار رائعة ، وهي التسجيل الرسمي لـ ALDA في إيطاليا ، في فيتشنزا: يمثل هذا الحدث إنشاء ALDA Italia Aps (جمعية ALDA الإيطالية للترويج الاجتماعي) ، كفرع مسجل محليًا لـ ALDA.
إن إضفاء الطابع الرسمي على الوجود والشرعية القانونية لـ ALDA Italy سيمكننا ، ALDA ، من الحصول على نطاق أوسع من الإجراءات التي ستتيح القيام بأنشطة أكثر استهدافًا واتساقًا ، لتصبح جهات فاعلة حقيقية للتغيير المحلي.
بشكل عام ، فإن التقدم الذي أحرزته ALDA في السنوات الـ 23 الماضية ، أو يجب أن نبدأ في الحساب حتى قبل ذلك ، والعودة إلى تأسيس أول LDAs في البلقان في عام 1993 ، هو أكثر من "جمعية تنمو وتتوسع في إِقلِيم". لقد كانت عملية تطوير وتمايز حقيقية ، حيث استخدمت ALDA جميع وسائلها لتنفيذ مهمتها بأكثر الطرق كفاءة ، مع نطاق متزايد باستمرار. مع مرور الوقت ، يكون الهدف هو تسجيل جميع مكاتب ALDA محليًا ، والتعمق أكثر في البعد المحلي لجميع المدن التي نتواجد فيها.
في الواقع ، أصبحت مكاتب ALDA ، ALDA + ، شبكة LDAs و ALDA Italy ، حقائق مستقلة ولكنها مترابطة ، تعمل معًا لنفس المهمة ... كمجموعة!
