How can local communities become catalysts for global change?
Join us on 16 July 2025 in Paris for “Global Calls, Local Acts: Grassroot participatory practices for achieving sustainability”. This dynamic two-part event is organised by ALDA within the framework of Up2You, a project implemented within the Territorial and Local Development (TeLD) Hub, which brings together civil society, local authorities, academia, and engaged citizens to explore participatory pathways toward sustainability.
🕛 From 12:00 to 13:30 — Strategy Co-Creation Session (Hybrid Format)
The morning will be dedicated to TELD Hub’s members only, offering an exclusive opportunity to shape the TeLD Hub’s future direction. Through interactive presentations, survey insights, and collaborative discussions, participants will contribute to the Hub’s 2025–2026 action plan, focusing on inclusive cities, urban–rural cohesion, and cultural heritage protection.
This is your chance to share your expertise, propose initiatives, and co-design the next steps of the TeLD Hub alongside like-minded peers!
🕒 From 15:00 to 17:00 — Public Roundtable & Peer Exchange (In-Person Only)
The afternoon opens to a wider audience for an engaging session on grassroots practices for SDG localisation. Highlighting the Living Communities Labs approach developed through the Erasmus+ Up2You project, this panel and open discussion will explore participatory models for community-led territorial development. Experts, civil society leaders, and researchers will share experiences from across Europe and beyond.
Expect meaningful insights, collaborative energy, and plenty of networking moments in a vibrant learning environment. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or a local changemaker, your contribution matters!
