In the framework of the ADRIGOV project, funded by the IPA-Adriatic Cross-border Cooperation Programme, INFORMEST, in collaboration with ALDA – the European Association for Local Democracy, organised on 16 December a training day on the topic of active European citizenship.
The workshop was opened by the words of welcome and greetings of Vanessa Sanson, Informest, Antonina Dattolo, Professor at the University of Udine, and Roberto Sartori, Vice Mayor of Gorizia, who stressed the importance of the concept of active participation of citizens, although it is often little known.
The workshop, curated by Marco Boaria, Head of Resources and Development Unit of ALDA, and Aldo Xhani, Active Citizenship Coordinator of ALDA, saw the alternation of theoretical and practical sessions focused on the theme of active citizenship, with particular attention to funding programmes, tools and methods to promote it, examples of good practices and projects implemented by ALDA over the years.
The afternoon session was dedicated to the participatory workshop, during which participants designed and presented a hypothetical project proposal, aimed at promoting and strengthening citizens’ participation.
The works ended with the closing greetings of Alessandro Perelli, Vice President of ALDA, who reiterated the importance of active participation of citizens in Europe and the need to work for good local governance.
ADRIGOV PROJECT – The AdriGov project, capitalising on the existing cooperation networks and the different initiatives, programmes and projects already implemented in the area, will constitute an operational support for the political processes linking the Adriatic Euroregion and the Adriatic-Ionian Macroregion, with the aim to offer a valuable contribution to the adoption and elaboration of the Adriatic-Ionian strategy, with particular attention to the promotion of an innovative model of governance through the coordination and integration of local and regional communities. By giving the co-operation activities a concrete regional dimension, the project also intends to consolidate the integration process, both among and within states, through the involvement of local authorities and civil society in the decision-making processes and in the implementation of the EU regional policy.
