ENLARGE Gamebook
The ENLARGE Gamebook has been built on 31 real cases we collected and analyzed, and the chosen topic is a story about a local government that is attempting to formulate and implement an energy consumption reduction plan. The plan involves the location and construction of a new wind farm and the implementation of a series of interventions to improve energy efficiency in public and private buildings.
The book is intended to be a living tool for all communities wishing to kick off collaborative processes. Therefore, for two years beyond project completion, the book will be integrated with comments and suggestions by those who are using it.
Don’t miss the chance and embark on your own adventure in collaborative governance.

EU i Zapadni Balkan: ka obnovljenom poverenju
Veliki trenutak učešća u ALDA projektu Mladi Balkana za Evropu (RYCE) na Zapadnom Balkanu, koji je završen u maju 2021.
Putevi koji su pred nama biće teški, ali u osnovi smo optimisti za budućnost Evrope i mladih, ovo su vrlo jasno izrazili svi koji su učestvovali a na poslednjoj konferenciji u okviru projekta “Mladi Balkana za Evropu” (RYCE).
Završna RYCE projektna konferencija održana je 1. jula 2021. u Beogradu, Srbija, u hotelu Metropol. Konferencija je izvedena u hibridnom formatu, a 36 učesnika je gledalo sa platforme Zoom. Zajedno sa ALDA-om prisustvovao je veliki broj učesnika - bilo da su to mreže i organizacije, uključujući 13 partnera.
Projekt “Mladi Balkana za Evropu” trajao je 3 godine, sa ciljem osnaživanja omladinskih organizacija i drugih grupa civilnog društva na Zapadnom Balkanu, kao i u Evropi. Projekat je uzeo u obzir dizajniranje politike, mobilizaciju učešća i boljeg donošenje odluka među mlađim generacijama i monitoring evropskih integracija.
Konferencija je pokazala veliki optimizam za budućnost Evrope i mladih
Tema prvog panela ticala se odnosa između Zapadnog Balkana i Evrope, drugog o očekivanjima mladih od pogleda na evropske integracije, zajedno sa istraživanjem predstavljenim po tom pitanju, dok su treći i poslednji panel imali predstavnici Agencija za lokalnu demokratiju i razgovarali o lokalnoj demokratiji i građanskim inicijativama.
Generalno, konferencija je pokazala veliki optimizam za budućnost Evrope i mladih, ali je takođe naglasila važnost ulaganja u mlađe generacije; praćenjem funkcije demokratije i izgradnjom poverenja. Predviđeni pristupi su uglavnom odozdo prema gore i panevropski, kako bi se postigli ovakvi ciljevi. Stoga, mlade treba efikasno mobilizirati za veće učešće, treba im pružiti informacije o političkim pitanjima koja ih se tiču, uz istovremeno unapređivanje digitalnih alata koji će im omogućiti da dobiju vrijedne vijesti i znanje iz ovog područja.
Govoreći o digitalizaciji, takođe je istaknuto da su od 1. jula na Balkanu uspostavljeni sporazumi o romingu uz pomoć Evropske unije. 18 miliona ljudi iz Albanie, Bosne i Hercegovine, Kosova, Crne Gore, Severne Makedonije i Srbije znaće da imaju mogućnost da „lutaju kao kod kuće“, što znači da nema dodatnog novca koji će potrošiti kada koriste svoje telefone tokom putovanja unutar regiona. Regionalna integracija je ključ za korake naprijed. Ovo drugo, u stvari, i dalje ostaje tema od velike važnosti.
Vraćajući se na završnu konferenciju, dato je vreme i za predstavljanje rezultata istraživanja o mladima urađeno u ovo doba 2020. godine. Iz opšte perspektive, može se reći da se ovaj sastanak pokazao kao plodan za dijalog, pokazujući dostignuća u poslednje 3 godine projekta Mladih Balkana za Evropu. Bez obzira na to, mobilizacija mladih, kao i pokazatelji evropskih integracija još uvek su nešto što treba i dalje održavati.

A great moment of share within ALDA projects Regional Youth Compact for Europe (RYCE) in Western Balkans, which ended in May 2021.
The roads ahead of us are going to be difficult, but fundamentally speaking, we are optimistic for the future of Europe and the youth, and in the last conference under the Regional Youth Compact for Europe (RYCE) project, this was very clearly expressed by everyone, who has participated.

. Regional Youth Compact for Europe project lasted for 3 years, with the aim of empowering youth organisations and other civil society groups in the Western Balkans (WB) as well as Europe. More into details, the project took into account policy design, mobilisation of participation and better decision-making among the younger generations, and EU integration monitoring.
Konferencija je pokazala veliki optimizam za budućnost Evrope i mladih
The topic of the first panel concerned the relationship between the WB and the Europe, the second one was about youth expectations for outlooks of European integration alongside with a research presented on the matter, while the third and last panel had representatives from Local Democracy Agencies to discuss local democracy and civic initiatives.

7 July: Save the date for the Open Day of Mysea project
Next Wednesday July 7th 2021, save the date for the Open Day of the Project MYSEA: a unique occasion for all Italian stakeholders interested in the labour inclusion of young people, NEETs and women in the blue and green economy sectors.
The event, organised by CIES Onlus i University of Palermo – Department of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Sciences, is meant to be the launch of the MYSEA project – Mediterranean Youth, NEETs and Women advancing Skills, Employment and Awareness in the blue and green economy in Italy, with a special focus for the Lazio and Sicily Regions.
Let's understand and address the issue of skill mismatch that hinders labour inclusion and gender equity
The project is co-funded by the European Union in the framework of the ENI CBC MED Programme 2014-2020 and aims at promoting the socio-occupational inclusion in the Mediterranean area of people disadvantaged in entering the labour market such as young people, women and NEETs (Not in Emplyment, Education and Training), who could take advantage of new opportunities and new professional profiles that may arise from the emerging sectors of the blue and green economy.
. Open Day will be organised online and will be animated by different speakers and stakeholders, thus being a space for reflection on the objectives, priorities, methodologies and strategies to be implemented within the MYSEA project. Research activities will be promoted focusing on the centrality of training in order to promote the labour inclusion of young people, NEETs and women in the blue and green economy sectors.
A key feature of the discussion will be the need to understand and address the issue of skill mismatch that hinders the process of labour inclusion and gender equity.
