Maurizio Camin is at his second mandate in ALDA’s Governing Board representing Associazione Trentino per i Balcani, Italy.
He has more than 10 years of experience in dealing with International Cooperation as coordinator of the Association “Trentino con i Balcani”, that works mainly in Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia and Albania on mandate of Trento Autonomous Province.
In the last period Maurizio Camin has been a member of the ALDA’s Board where he has tried to represent the issues of the Balkan Region, but also taking care of the needs of other territories. Thanks to this experience he could see how much ALDA and the Agencies for Local Democracy effectively have done and are still doing on the field in order to promote participation at the local level.
He believes that this issue is really important in a time so difficult and plenty of sorrow as the present is and he deeply convinced of the need to keep working to break fences and barriers, self-referential attitudes engaging to build spaces of dialogue and participation among territories, people, institutions and communities creating network of knowledges and development through concrete and shared actions.
He also believes in the importance of creating relations able to involve communities and citizens, what is the essence of International Cooperation.
