ALDA Network gathered in Caen under the banner of Peace and Unity
ALDA General Assembly 2019 took place on Friday, May 17th in Caen, France, in the beautiful premise of the Abbaye-aux-Dames, the seat of the Normandy Region. It was comprised in three days of events taking place on the 15th, 16th, and 17th May, with the support of the Région Normandie and its broader regional program called “Normandy for Peace” with agenda following the framework of the European Week for Citizens.
The day of ALDA’s General Assembly saw several key speakers such as Sig. Oriano Otočan, President of Alda, Signor Xavier Cadoret, Vice-President of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, Mr Yves Bertoncini, President of the “Mouvement Européen – France” (ME-F), and Mr François-Xavier Priollaud, Vice-President of the Normandy Region in charge of European Affairs and International Relations.
As every year the members have been made aware of many issues related to the governance of the organization, such as the financial situation and the status of the membership program, and voted on many aspects such as an update to the membership fees scheme and the accounts.
However, the General Assembly has not been limited to ordinary decision-making but has been as well an occasion to reflect on the current status of the local democracy in Europe and on the role that ALDA should play in the context of the challenges that our continent is facing. “We need to win the battle against the abstentionism, and we need to make people in love with democracy again. This is where ALDA work comes in; local authorities have power over many of the most crucial aspects of citizens’ lives. This battle has to start from there,” said Yves Bertoncini, addressing ALDA’s Board and Members. “If we trust each other as we did 60 years ago in the aftermath of a destructive war, we see that there’s no friction between being a Norman, a French and a European, and the rebuilt of this trust can start, again, from the local level” continued Bertoncini.
The Assembly also decided to support, through an official statement, the work in favor of a stronger civil society in Russia carried out by Open Russia whose Chairmen, Mr Andrey Pivovarov, was present in Caen. “For our Association, having the support of European organizations like ALDA, is crucial to our cause,” Pivovarov stated.
After the official closing of the Assembly, the day was concluded with an exciting workshop organized by MitOst, an organization fostering cultural exchange, active citizenship, social cohesion, and sustainable urban and rural development, to discover a toolkit to assess the risks in one’s local reality and come up with specific solutions for every single case. Ambassadors, partners, and LDAs participated in this exciting and helpful meeting.
The events as a whole were crucial moments to foster ALDA’s commitment for Local Democracy and for a stronger Europe and marked an essential moment for the organization’s network, giving the possibility to old and new partners and members to get to know each other and share valuable expertise and experiences.

Rilanciare il quadrilatero di viale Milano: al via il processo partecipativo di ALDA, PAMPAS e RiModerno
Si è tenuto giovedì 9 maggio, dalle 18:30 alle 20:00, presso la sede ENAIP di Vicenza in via Napoli 11, il primo incontro collettivo volto alla riqualificazione del quadrilatero urbano di via Torino/Firenze/Napoli e viale Milano.
L’incontro è stato organizzato da ALDA, l’Associazione Europea per la Democrazia Locale, in collaborazione con PAMPAS – Il Giardino Inclusivo : RiModerno, con l’obiettivo di formare un gruppo di lavoro con gli abitanti del quadrilatero, volto a intraprendere un percorso partecipativo per rilanciare il quartiere, in una prospettiva di ripresa a lungo termine.
Dopo i saluti di benvenuto, Antonella Valmorbida, Segretario Generale di ALDA, ha illustrato le modalità di svolgimento dell’evento, attraverso i cosiddetti World-Cafè, tavoli di discussione itineranti, che permettono così al maggior numero di partecipanti di esprimere la propria opinione su temi specifici. Gli argomenti affrontati sono stati: le modalità di consultazione e lavoro tra gli abitanti del quartiere, il recupero di esperienze positive di rilancio urbano passate, proposte di nuove iniziative e i punti di forza del quadrilatero.
La partecipazione è stata numerosa e varia, gli abitanti del quadrilatero hanno condiviso la propria esperienza in maniera molto fruttuosa, facendo emergere le diverse percezioni della quotidianità di chi ci abita, come inquilino, proprietario d’immobili, rappresentante d’istituzione o commerciante, ripercorrendo la storia del quadrilatero – la cui memoria è da recuperare per lavorare a un miglioramento concreto.

Time to vote, time to change!
A lot has been said about these debated European Parliament Elections, maybe among the most discussed in the history of the Union. From the very heart of Europe to the furthest peripheries of the continent, this time, Europe in its broadest meaning, has been at the center of a political debate scattered into many national and trans-national facets.
As a European organization extending its action to the local communities of pre-accession countries, we couldn’t help but feel profoundly involved in many of the issues debated, as well as in the debate itself. And it is even more than this as we have been, over the past months, active to promote the vote, and a vote for Europe. And now we are almost there, waiting with eagerness to see if our efforts, along with those of our partner organisations and millions of other people across Europe will pay off.
Much has been said over the last months against the European integration as a model; from technocracy, allegations to “supposed” links between European policies and growing trends in poverty. “Undoubtedly, certain social groups are in great need, and we should all act to do better, but what remains a deep mystery is how not being a Union could solve anything.” – says Antonella Valmorbida, ALDA Secretary-General with regards to some of the most diffused accusations made to the European Union.
As ALDA we are then ready to believe in this new Europe, whose journey will start with these Elections and to “embark on a challenge of social innovation that makes us all stronger and more competitive,” with no fear of contributing with our expertise and our work to the governance of the most urgent and systemic pan-European issues, with our characteristic particular attention to our peculiar focus on local democracy and development.
We wish all the Europeans an exciting electoral weekend! With the serenity which comes from the belief then when democracy wins, we all win; but also aware that what this Europe has built and achieved needs to be actively defended and brought forward by each and every one of us.

Best practice sharing and gender walks on the 18th of June in Brussels for SW-UP final event!
Why women practice less outdoor physical activities than men? How to remove the feeling of unsafety and constraint experienced by many women when it comes to sport? Which activities has SW-UP project come up with, in order to tackle this challenge?
The conference that will be held in Brussels on the 18th of June will answer to all these questions. Local municipalities and sport associations that are partners of the European-funded SW-UP project will meet locally rooted sport associations, academics and international sport organizations and share their respective practices. Baby-sitting services, gender-neutral urban equipment and raising-awareness walks are only some of the initiatives that will be presented.
A gender walk in the streets of Brussels will close the event and lead the participants at the discovery of the often-neglected influence that women had in the story and architecture of the Belgian capital.
Detailed agenda of the event coming soon on ALDA’s socials!
Partage des meilleures pratiques et marches du genre à Bruxelles pour l’événement final de SW-UP !
Pourquoi les femmes pratiquent-elles moins d’activités physiques en plein air que les hommes ? Comment supprimer le sentiment d’insécurité et de contrainte que ressentent de nombreuses femmes lorsqu’il s’agit de sport ? Quelles sont les activités proposées par le projet SW-UP pour relever ce défi ?
La conférence qui se tiendra à Bruxelles le 18 juin répondra à toutes ces questions. Les municipalités locales et les associations sportives partenaires du projet SW-UP financé par l’Union Européenne rencontreront des associations sportives locales, des universitaires et des organisations sportives internationales et partageront leurs pratiques respectives. Services de baby-sitting, équipements urbains non sexistes et promenades de sensibilisation ne sont que quelques-unes des initiatives qui seront présentées.
Une promenade dans les rues de Bruxelles clôturera l’événement et conduira les participants à la découverte de l’influence souvent négligée des femmes dans l’histoire et l’architecture de la capitale belge.
L’agenda détaillé de l’événement est à venir prochainement sur les réseaux sociaux d’ALDA !
Buone pratiche e passeggiate tutte al femminile a Bruxelles per l’evento finale di SW-UP
Perché le donne praticano meno attività fisica all’aperto rispetto agli uomini? Come rimuovere la sensazione di insicurezza e costrizione vissuta da molte donne quando si tratta di sport? In che modo il progetto SW-UP intende affrontare questi temi?
La conferenza che si terrà a Bruxelles il 18 giugno risponderà a tutte queste domande. I comuni e le associazioni sportive partner del progetto SW-UP finanziato dall’UE si incontreranno con associazioni sportive, accademici e organizzazioni sportive internazionali radicate nelle loro rispettive realtà. Servizi di baby-sitting, attrezzature urbane neutrali al genere e passeggiate per sensibilizzare l’opinione pubblica sono solo alcune delle iniziative che verranno presentate.
Una “passeggiata di genere” per le strade di Bruxelles chiuderà l’evento e condurrà i partecipanti alla scoperta dell’influenza spesso trascurata che le donne hanno avuto nella storia e nell’architettura della capitale belga.
Programma dettagliato dell’evento in arrivo sui social di ALDA!
18 июня в Брюсселе состоится обмен передовым опытом и гендерные прогулки для финального мероприятия SW-UP!
Почему женщины занимаются физическими упражнениями на открытом воздухе меньше, чем мужчины? Как устранить чувство неуверенности и стеснения, которое испытывают многие женщины, когда дело доходит до спорта? Какие мероприятия придумал проект SW-UP для решения этой проблемы?
На все эти вопросы ответит конференция, которая состоится в Брюсселе 18 июня. Местные муниципалитеты и спортивные ассоциации, являющиеся партнерами финансируемого Европой проекта SW-UP, встретятся с местными спортивными ассоциациями, научными кругами и международными спортивными организациями и поделятся своей соответствующей практикой. Услуги по уходу за детьми, нейтральное с гендерной точки зрения городское оборудование и информационно-просветительские прогулки-это лишь некоторые из инициатив, которые будут представлены.
Гендерная прогулка по улицам Брюсселя закроет мероприятие и приведет участников к открытию часто пренебрегаемого влияния, которое женщины имели в истории и архитектуре бельгийской столицы.
Подробная программа мероприятия в ближайшее время на социалы ALDA!
Primeri dobre prakse na završnom događaju projekta SW-UP u Briselu 18. juna!
Zašto žene praktikuju manje fizičkih aktivnosti na otvorenom nego muškarci? Kako ukloniti osećaj nesigurnosti i ograničenja koje doživlјavaju mnoge žene kada je reč o sportu? Koje aktivnosti nudi projekat SW-UP kako bi se suočio sa ovim izazovom?
Konferencija koja će se održati u Briselu 18. juna će odgovoriti na sva ova pitanja. Lokalne opštine i sportska udruženja koja su partneri projekta SW-UP, koji finansira Evropska unija, sastaće se sa lokalnim sportskim udruženjima, akademicima i međunarodnim sportskim organizacijama i podeliti svoje prakse. Baby-sitting usluge, rodno neutralna urbana oprema i šetnje sa ciljem podizanja svesti – samo su neke od inicijativa koje će biti predstavlјene.
“Rodna” šetnja ulicama Brisela zatvoriće događaj i dovesti učesnike do otkrića često zanemarenog uticaja koji su žene imale u priči i arhitekturi belgijske prestonice.

تبادل الممارسات الجيدة والجولات على أساس النوع الاجتماعي يوم 18 جوان (حزيران) في العاصمة البلجيكية بروكسل خلال التظاهرة النهائية لمشروع رياضة للمرأة-في المناطق الحضرية
لماذا تعد الأنشطة التي تتعاطاها المرأة في الهواء الطلق أقل من تلك التي يتعاطاها الرجل؟ كيف يمكن التخلص من الشعور بعدم الأمن والضغوطات التي توجهها المرأة التي تمارس الرياضة؟ ما هي الأنشطة التي يقترحها مشروع رياضة للمرأة-في المناطق الحضرية بهدف المساعدة على رفع هذا التحدي؟
سيمكن هذا المؤتمر, الذي ستحتضنه العاصمة البلجيكية بروكسل, يوم 18 جوان (حزيران), من الإجابة على كافة هذه الأسئلة. وستمثل هذه التظاهرة كذلك فرصة سانحة, للبلديات المحلية والجمعيات الرياضية, التي هي شريكة في مشروع رياضة للمرأة-في المناطق الحضرية الممول من قبل الاتحاد الأوروبي, للالتقاء بكافة الأطراف العريقة محليا, على غرار الجمعيات الرياضية والجامعيين والمنظمات الرياضية الدولية, وتبادل الممارسات المشتركة. سيغتنم المنظمون هذه التظاهرة لتقديم نبذة عن المبادرات المعتمدة حول خدمات حضانة الأطفال وتجهيزات المناطق الحضرية بدون اعتبار الجنس الاجتماعي والجولات الهادفة إلى تعزيز التوعية.
ستختتم التظاهرة بجولة حول النوع الاجتماعي في العاصمة البلجيكية بروكسل لتمكن المشاركين من اكتشاف التأثير, الذي عادة ما يتم تجاهله, والذي تخلفه المرأة على تاريخ بروكسل وهندستها المعمارية.
سيتم نشر كافة التفاصيل حول أجندا التظاهرة التي ستصدر قريبا على الشبكات الاجتماعية لألدا.

CLINK International event spurred inspirational exchanges on cultural heritage from diverse countries
The first CLINK International event exceeded expectations and provided space for rich and interesting exchanges on cultural heritage among participants. The international event entitled “Citizens’ participation in preservation of cultural heritage in their communities” was organised on 15 and 16 May 2019 in Caen at the premises of the Region Normandy in the framework of the project CLINK: Cultural heritage linking diversities in Europe.
The event gathered 80 participants who exchanged practices on various forms of cultural heritage as well as its preservation, prevention of deterioration and promotion through raising awareness methods. The main message that followed through all presentations was that citizens need to acknowledge their own cultural heritage before it can be recognised as such. Citizens have local practices and rites, places of cultural heritage linked to their personal culture and these need to be celebrated as well as raise awareness upon the importance of their preservation.
The international event was preceded by the kick off meeting of project partners and a study visit to the association “Fabrique de patrimoines” where the project partners had the opportunity to see a multipurpose space dedicated to restauration, digitalisation and raising awareness of the cultural heritage of Normandy. This expertise from Normandy was very well perceived and inspired the project partners.
The organised events were the kick off of the project CLINK – Cultural heritage linking diversities in Europe which aims to raise awareness on connections of the collective cultural heritage in the tapestry of Europe’s rich and diverse culture. ALDA is partner in this project implemented by 10 partners from Croatia, France, Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Albania, supported through the programme Europe for Citizens of the European Union.

Participatory democracy in diverse neighbourhoods: a new winner for the Gianfranco Martini scholarship
ALDA is extremely proud and honoured to announce the winner of the 2019 edition of the Gianfranco Martini Scholarship, Elena Ostanel.
Elena’s project proposal, CAPacity, centers on empowering communities and institutions to foster local democracy, with the specific aim to analyze different strategies implemented in different EU countries to enhance participatory democracy in diverse neighborhoods.
The study will hence analyze policies implemented by local governments as well as practices performed by community-based organizations in diverse neighborhoods. The research will specifically inquire the relationship between policies and practices, considering co-production between institutional and non-institutional stakeholders a key element to scale up experimentation at a policy level and therefore guarantee the public character of community-based initiatives.
The Gianfranco Martini Scholarship is awarded once a year to a student or researcher proposing a study or work project focusing on local democracy, engagement of civil society and/or interethnic dialogue. Its aim is to receive high-quality academic research and analysis that are relevant to ALDA’s fields of activity in order to develop further strategies on these topics, prioritizing the projects that target regions where ALDA is active.
