The debate, which was mediated by the Secretary of the Vicenza branch of the European Federalist Movement (MFE) Enrico Peroni, was an interesting occasion to reflect together on the ongoing state of emergency and on the future of Europe.

Solidarity in time of COVID-19: ALDA supports 3 crowdfunding initiatives
In its effort to be now, more than ever, a Community of Communities, ALDA believes that the most important value distinguishing a cohesive and active community is solidarity.
In the past few weeks, we have all witnessed the spread of the COVID-19 across Europe, where over 665.778 people have contracted the virus, and 59.508 have died from it. To this end, ALDA has officially started supporting three crowdfunding campaigns, and we’d like to encourage you to do the same, because only together we can defeat the virus.
Our first thought went to Italy, which was hit particularly hard by the virus, as 139.422 people got infected and over 17.669 people died, reason why we decided to support the
ITALIAN CIVIL PROTECTION, which is doing an amazing job helping out the Ministry of Health in arranging new Intensive Care Unit spots for those affected as well as building new emergency hospitals.
Then, in this #StayAtHome period, we clearly have in mind all those who do not have a house: the poor, the homeless, migrants and refugees. With the fundamental idea to #LeaveNobodyBehind, we sustain the following campaigns to bring support in particular to refugees in the Greek Islands and give them the possibility to receive medical support, especially in this moment:
MEDECINS SANS FRONTIERS (MSF) GREECE – The overcrowded and horrific living conditions in the camps on the Greek islands, given the lack of adequate sanitation services and the severely limited medical care, mean that the risk of the virus spreading amongst the inhabitants of the camps is extremely high once they have been exposed; and yet, no emergency plan to protect and treat the inhabitants in case of an outbreak has been put in place.
WOMEN REFUGEE ROUTE: LEAVE NONE BEHIND – Refugees on Lesvos Island are victims of another war. The Centre in Moria, in Lesvos, has the capacity for 3000 people, but it is currently hosting more than 20,000 children, women and men.
Let’s help these organisations, and let’s spread the word in order to raise awareness about these tragedies that are taking place just under our eyes.

Time to start a Climate of Change!
Le Climate of Change project officially started its activities with a series of webinars which took place from 31st March to 6th April 2020! In the occasion, project partners had the opportunity to meet all together for the first time – though online instead of in Bologna, Italy due to coronavirus restrictions – and get to know other stakeholders involved in the realization of the proposed plans in discussing several topics related to their implementation.
More specifically, the first day was focused on an overview of the whole project and a timeline of the first year of implementation. During the second, the Pan-European communication campaign was discussed as a crucial tool to reach the goals of the project. The following day, the debate then centered on communicative aspects of the project. Day four looked into the methodological implications of a survey which will be conducted as part of the project. Part five of the webinars dealt with financial and administrative issues and with the monitoring and the evaluation of the activities. Finally, day six saw participants investigating advocacy opportunities at the European level and making a last round of decisions.
The Climate of Change project, which saw the light in January 2020, will be active until June 2023 and is a research-based project whose aim is enhancing the awareness of young EU citizens on the nexus between our economic system and lifestyle, and human-induced climate change effects in the Global South.
Particularly, the project wants to engage and activate young EU citizens in support of policies and development actions to tackle climate change as a driver of irregular migration and forced displacement worldwide. The above-mentioned Pan-European communication campaign, which will be created with (and will especially target) young EU citizens, is indeed designed to develop a European movement involving and activating the participation of EU citizens in EU development policies and response to global challenges.
Before starting such communication campaign, a comparative survey in 23 EU countries among EU citizens of 16-35 years of age will soon be conducted. The aim of the survey will be understanding the opinions and the knowledge among young people of the nexus between migration, climate change and the current economic model. Stay tuned to learn more!

ALDA and the European Movement [France] connected to face the crisis
In response to this unprecedented global challenge, on March 27th ALDA held a webinar alongside with the European Movement [France] (ME-F) with the aim to highlight how the civil society is facing the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
The debate was a precious opportunity to share different opinions and perspectives, as well as a valuable occasion to better understand how organizations which operate with a similar framework to ALDA’s should act in an attempt to get some positive outcomes from this crisis.
To begin with, the debate outlined the crucial importance of maintaining a high level of communications with the European Institutions. Undoubtedly, these uncertain times have shown that the art of negotiation has become, more than ever, the key to surviving. Indeed, several proposals were advanced by ALDA to the European Commission in the past few weeks; proposals that inevitably require a certain kind of flexible approach from the European Institutions since they concern aspects such as project delays, re-modulating activities and cofounding adaptation.
Another important aspect that was outlined during the debate was about the disruption of community engagement. As a matter of fact, the reconnection with the European citizens will necessarily take time as well as good communication strategy. In conclusion, it became increasingly clear that this crisis is impacting all of us, and only by developing a strong sense of community we will be able to tackle it and grow even stronger.

A new webinar series to #stayathome… and go places
While the majority of our staff is working to rearrange activities, reorganize projects and adjust our strategy according to the present circumstances, the ALDA communication department is also concerned with regards to all previously planned events that were originally scheduled for this Spring season. And since giving up is not our style, we decided to adapt them to the current situation.
This is how our cultural webinar series saw the light: the “Thursday Strolls».
UNE Thursday Stroll is a 45-minute online conversation with our “guest(s) of the week” which takes us places, without leaving our comfortable sofa, with an objective as simple as it is complex to achieve through a screen, i.e. to stimulate curiosity, promote information and encourage discussion!
Since the original idea was to hold this weekly meeting in our new offices in Vicenza (Italy), its webinar form was born bilingual, with the alternation of a Thursday in English, the next Thursday in Italian, and so on.
For our first appointment, on April 2nd, we took you to Iran, with our special guest Shadi Rouhshahbaz, International Relations specialist and peace-builder! Together we learnt about the Nowruz, the traditions linked to the Persian New Year and how the present circumstances are affecting its celebrations.
Next in the plans? A Refugees Welcome-themed stroll, our friends from Emoticon – Illustra L’Emozione and… what else?
Join us online to find out! The link is the same each week, access is free and open to all, and no previous registration is required: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/641488739
Step 1: Mark Thusdays at 6:30pm as a fixed date into your online calendar
Step 2: Check regularly ALDA’s social media channels to stay updated and discover where we are going to take you this week
Step 3: Save the zoom link above into your notepad or calendar, for it to be handy to enter each Thursday and join the meeting!
Come on, let’s get out while we #stayathome!

PARFAIT publication: tools to actively operate towards female inclusion
After over two years of activities, the PARFAIT project has come to an end. It was conceived and implemented by ALDA with the support of the European Union, as well as the help of a strong partnership between the Coalition for Women of Tunisia, the Tunisian branch of the European Partnership for Democracy (EPD) and the Agency for Local Democracy in Kairouan.
PARFAIT’s goal was to improve female participation to local governance in Tunisia, which was notably very low when the project was launched back in 2017. The realisation of the objective was achieved thanks to several innovative actions that engaged different actors, from Local Authorities to medias all down to local CSOs, female activists and women elected locally.
In order to guarantee the continuity of this effort after the end of the project, the Project Committee has written a publication addressed to Tunisian associations and local authorities, which collects all the best practices and tools used for the project and aims to promote the strengthening of women’s skillsets and their participation to public life.
The document is available in French and Arabic and presents three of the project’s successful activities. It also encourages Local Authorities and CSOs to replicate them by adapting them to their specific needs, in order to maintain the good legacy of the project and pursue the effort towards gender equality in Tunisia and other countries.

After over two years of activities, the PARFAIT project has come to an end. It was conceived and implemented by ALDA with the support of the European Union, as well as the help of a strong partnership between the Coalition for Women of Tunisia, the Tunisian branch of the European Partnership for Democracy (EPD) et Agency for Local Democracy in Kairouan.
PARFAIT’s goal was to improve female participation to local governance in Tunisia, which was notably very low when the project was launched back in 2017. The realisation of the objective was achieved thanks to several innovative actions that engaged different actors, from Local Authorities to medias all down to local CSOs, female activists and women elected locally.
In order to guarantee the continuity of this effort after the end of the project, the Project Committee has written a publication addressed to Tunisian associations and local authorities, which collects all the best practices and tools used for the project and aims to promote the strengthening of women’s skillsets and their participation to public life.
The document is available in French and Arabic and presents three of the project’s successful activities. It also encourages Local Authorities and CSOs to replicate them by adapting them to their specific needs, in order to maintain the good legacy of the project and pursue the effort towards gender equality in Tunisia and other countries.
