Umjetnik iz Donje Normandije u rezidenciji u Kokinu, Makedonija
Tijekom mjeseca listopada, Fleur Helluin, mlada vizualna umjetnica iz regije Donja Normandija u Francuskoj, sudjelovala je u programu umjetnika u Makedoniji. Fleur Helluin radila je na projektu u Kokinu, arheološkom nalazištu brončanog doba koje je drevna zvjezdarnica. Tijekom boravka u Makedoniji, Fleur je počela crtati i hvatati neke zvukove. Izložba njezinog rada trebala bi se održati u Skoplju i u regiji Donja Normandija 2014. godine.
Mobilnost i kultura su ključni u projektima decentralizirane suradnje između regije Donja Normandija i Republike Makedonije. Fleur Helluin imala je priliku surađivati s Lokomotivom - Centrom za nove inicijative u umjetnosti i kulturi, izložbenim centrom Osten, kao i s Francuskim kulturnim institutom iz Skoplja.
Ovu je rezidenciju financijski podržao Francuski institut u Parizu u suradnji s Regionalnim vijećem Donje Normandije. Za 2014. planiran je još jedan projekt Rezidencije u Makedoniji za umjetnika iz regije Donje Normandije. Alexis Debœuf će u rezidenciji dočekati Lokomotiva i Kulturni centar iz Bitolja.

20 ° годовщина ADL Суботица и Осиек
Суботица
‘Приграничное кафе’, организованное для двенадцати муниципалитетов приграничной зоны между Хорватией и Сербией, которое принимал у себя город Суботица, явилось идеальным контекстом для празднования 20 годовщины двух наиболее старых ADL на западных Балканах, основанных уже в 1993 году.
Принимая во внимание многие годы совместного сотрудничества в рамках сети ALDA, символичным было как название, так и содержание совместно проведенного двумя ADL мероприятия, общение и сотрудничество которых стало привычным в ходе осуществления и усиления приграничных возможностей и установления деловых контактов в рамкахпроекта: Поддержка в налаживании связей и побратимства на европейском уровне – SNET.EU (IPA CBC Программа Хорватия-Сербия).
В ходе вступительной части четыре делегата ADL собрались вместе и поприветствовали участников: Миленко Турниски, делегат и президент ADL г. Осиек, Ольга Перусич, бывший делегат ADL Суботица (2009-11), Сильвия Патарчич, делегат ADL Суботица и Станка Прач Дамьянович, координатор региональной программы ALDA (делегат ADL Суботица, 2002-2008). Недавно избранный вице мэр Суботицы, Синиша Бабичкович, ответственный за международное и региональное сотрудничество, премировал два Агентства местной демократии символическим сертификатом о партнерстве, дополненным соглашением о сотрудничестве , подписанным между городами Осиек и Суботица.
В ходе мероприятия, которое объединило примерно 50 представителей местных властей и организаций гражданского общества, были с успехом представлены проекты, финансируемые ЕС, в то время как недавно созданная ADL Суботица Resource и Training Centre стали местом обмена рекомендуемыми практиками и планирования процесса приграничного сотрудничества. После семинара гости из Хорватии посетили традиционную рождественскую ярмарку в центре города Суботица.

Prekogranična kafa organizovana za dvanaest opština iz pograničnog područja Hrvatske i Srbije, čiji je domaćin bila grad Subotica je više od simboličnog povoda i odlična prilika za obeležavanje 20. godišnjice dve “najstarije ” Agencije lokalne demokratije na Zapadnom Balkanu, osnovane još 1993. godine.
Imajući u vidu mnoge godine zajedničkog rada u okviru ALDA mreže, simbolični su i naslov i sadržaj aktivnosti zajednički razvijenih i implementiranih od strane dve ALD čija jekomunikacija i saradnja postala dnevna rutina u toku sprovodjenja serija prekograničnih aktivnosti na izgradnji kapaciteta i umrežavanju u okviru projekta: Podrška umrežavanju i evropskoj saradnji gradova i opština – SNET.EU (IPA CBC Hrvatska – Srbija Program).

VP Reding receiving EYCA recommendations from Roirant: I know how much effort it took for our citizens to build them
We are happy to share the verbatim of what the Vice-President Viviane Reding said while receiving the EYCA’s policy recommendations from its chairmain, Jean-Marc Roirant:
“80 sentences… There are days and nights, months inside this piece of works. Meetings, reflections coming out from those meetings from an uncountable number of citizens from all countries.
I know what efforts were put into those 80 recommendations, and I can say today that all those 80 recommendations will be analysed and used for our actions.
At the end of the European Year of Citizens, next May, the Commission will present a report on citizens, on what they have communicated, to me and to other commissioners, through the 1 million questions received every year by the Commission and to what the Commission has to answer – and answers, and to the 80 recommendations you put together.
So they will be part of our report on citizenship, a report which will go on the table of political parties so that they can use them, in front of their electors, because we want a participatory debate, with high involvement, during the campaign; this debate would lead to a better election for European MEP, those who will have the burden to make laws, to pave the way for 507 million citizens. You are very well represented, you have something important to say and that ‘someting’ is there, I thank you and ensure it will be taken into consideration.”

Ukrainian women in Vicenza support the European choice of their country
On 21 December 2013, ALDA, together with the Association Orizzonti Comuni and Ufficio Migrantes organized an event at Palazzo delle Opere Sociali, in Piazza Duomo in Vicenza.
The aim of the meeting was to discuss the ongoing situation in Ukraine. The event was attended by many Ukrainian women, all caretakers for families in the area.
Isabella Sala, Councilor for the community and the family of the Municipality of Vicenza, participated at the event as well as the Councilor for Education, Youth and equal opportunities in Bassano del Grappa, Anna Toniolo and the Regional Councillor Stefano Fracasso.
All the participants expressed a strong concern about the situation faced by the country, as well as solidarity with their compatriots who guard all the day and night Maidan square in Kiev. They all support a change of government and its policies, which are not addressed to the well-being of the population, but to the interests of political parties. Axcess in the Europe Union would mean a different future for young people thanks to the role played by citizens, who really want to participate in economic and social policies, and to contribute to a peaceful coexistence and cooperation between peoples. For this reasons, it is important to keep Ukraine united, avoiding any division between West and East of the country.
The meeting ended with the commitment of the Ukrainian women to be more united in Italy, to support each other while away from their Country, without losing hope in the future of their children, grandchildren and the beloved Ukraine.

Digital mapping of organic producers in the county
Participants of the EU project “POPEYE” completed the educational seminar and ICT training, and started mapping organic producers in Osijek-Baranja and Vukovar-Srijem county
OSIJEK, 22 November 2013.
Local Democracy Agency Osijek is currently implementing a project “POPEYE – Promoting Organic Production, Enhancing Youth Employment” which is financially supported by the European Union (Youth in Action program, measure 4.4. Projects that encourage innovation and quality) in Osijek-Baranja nad Vukovar-Srijem county, which is also carried out in France, Bulgaria, Estonia, Croatia, Italy and Cyprus. Project participants are young people between 15 and 25 from the two project counties who have undergone training seminar on sustainable development, ecology and organic food production. The aim of the seminar was to encourage young people from rural areas to participate in community life, to provide them an opportunity for better understanding of the concept of active citizenship and sustainable development, and economic and environmental needs and problems of their own community in the European context.
After this education, participants have undergone practical ICT training in which they have gained practical knowledge of designing websites and digital mapping. Together they made a questionnaire that will help in the collection of basic data and mapping of organic farmers in the geographical area of the project progress.
