La conférence "Favoriser le développement local par le tourisme" a eu lieu le 26 mai dans le cadre du projet "Voix et actions des citoyens dans les communautés consolidées d'Arménie" au format hybride soutenu par l'Union européenne. La conférence visait à conclure le projet de trois ans qui a été mis en œuvre dans les régions de Lori, Shirak et Tavush en Arménie et à partager les meilleures pratiques en matière de développement local aux niveaux communautaire et régional, exécuté par le consortium de l'Association des agents financiers des communautés, l'Association européenne pour la démocratie locale et l'Union des communautés d'Arménie.

Mme Silja Kasmann, chef adjoint de la section coopération de la délégation de l'Union européenne en Arménie, a officiellement ouvert la conférence et a souhaité la bienvenue aux participants en soulignant l'importance du projet pour les communautés et la manière dont le potentiel touristique peut promouvoir le développement de l'Arménie.

Les dirigeants des organisations membres du consortium, M. Vahan Movsisyan, Mme Antonella Valmorbida et M. Emin Yeritsyan, ont fait part de leur expérience, des difficultés et des défis rencontrés lors de la mise en œuvre du projet. Des experts de la sphère touristique d'Arménie, de Géorgie et de Moldavie ont présenté les réalités de chaque pays pendant et après le covid, les possibilités de relance de l'industrie touristique, la promotion des outils numériques et des innovations, le développement du tourisme interne.

Les projets mis en œuvre dans le cadre de l'intercommunalité et du programme de subventions démonstratives ont une fois de plus confirmé l'importance du développement communautaire et économique par le biais du tourisme en Arménie.

L'ALDA est très heureuse d'avoir fait partie de ce grand projet, contribuant à la vie des communautés locales en stimulant la mise en œuvre et le développement du tourisme en Arménie.

From May 31st to June 13th the EU Green Week will take place! Two weeks to raise awareness and knowledge of how pollution affects us all: it is in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, in the land where we grow food. It is the main environmental cause of several mental and physical illnesses and premature deaths, especially among children, people with certain diseases and the elderly. However, pollution does not affect everyone equally. People living in poorer areas often live near contaminated sites or areas with high traffic density. Pollution is also a major cause of biodiversity loss. It reduces the ability of ecosystems to perform functions such as carbon capture and decontamination.

Participants will also look at other relevant European Green Deal initiatives, such as climate projects, the upcoming chemicals strategy, and other programs in energy, industry, mobility, agriculture, fisheries, health and biodiversity. EU Green Week 2021 will be an opportunity to discuss with all interested parties and citizens how to work together to make the goal of a zero-pollution, toxic-free environment a reality.

ALDA, partner of the event, will join the #EUGreenWeek on the 4th of June 2021 with two online webinar, organized within the following projects: Camelot, LIFE Metro Adapt et LIFE BEWARE through 2 online workshops:

1. 4th of June from 10:30 to 12:00 – Zero pollution challenge and Nature-Based Solutions: The leading role of metropolitan areas and EU financial instruments. The workshop will tackle the issue of urban pollution through an interactive reflection around two main questions: i) Among the different mitigation measures, which are the benefits and challenges of NBS? ii) Which is the strategic role of metropolitan areas as leaders of territorial environmental governance? Key-note interventions will set the ground for a common reflection. Afterwards, participants will be engaged in a participatory session to exchange thoughts and common solutions. Register to the webinar ici.
   
2. 4th of June from 12:15 to 13:40 – Natural Resources Management and Pollution Reduction: Sharing best practices at the local, national and international level. The webinar is built to share experiences about the sustainable management of natural resources in order to reduce pollution and to increase territorial resilience to climate change. The topics covered by the webinar include best practices for preventing water, soil and air contamination such as Nature-Based Solutions, Water Safety Plans, policies for the conservation and restoration of soils and to reduce air pollution.

We look forward to seeing you there!
