In order to get ready for the new EU multiannual financial framework (2021-2027) and develop close cooperation with its members, a few months ago ALDA launched a call for proposals addressing its network to collect engaging and innovative project ideas and to offer them free technical assistance in finding the right programmes, drafting and sending the application of the selected projects.

We would like to thank all members who participated with a large number of proposals, all of which interesting and to which we will try to give feedback and advice. We are now pleased to announce that we have chosen the 3 winning participants and ideas.

These are the three winning projects:

• Marmara Municipalities Union (MMU) – Turkey, with a project that aims at increasing the municipal officials’ awareness of the SDG framework, as well as upgrading their skills and contributing to the localization and realization of SDGs.
• Foster Europe – Austria. The proposed project aims at challenging national historic narratives by confronting contradictory narratives from neighbouring countries on historical issues.
• Margherita Società Cooperativa Sociale Onlus – Italy, with a project that seeks to improve possibilities for people with disabilities to achieve independent living and to improve the levels of social inclusion and cohesion at community level.

Given the success of the call, we promise to repeat it every year, adding it to the benefits of being part of our international network. 

Do not miss next one! Stay tuned!
