What Brno has learnt with the OnStage project – until now

Brno's participation in the URBACT OnStage network has been one of the first Czech experiences in using music education programs to promote social change. Two city schools now offer - even in the days of Covid-19 - free music lessons for enthusiastic children, a large majority of whom belong to the Roma community.

Cum să gestionezi rețele? Lecții de la COVID-19

Rețeaua de planificare a acțiunilor Health & Greenspace a avut întâlnirea de start pentru faza a II-a, în perioada 16-17 iunie. Acest lucru înseamnă că 9 orașe ale UE au pornit într-o călătorie lungă de 2 ani pentru implicarea părților interesate de la nivel local și planificarea acțiunilor pentru îmbunătățirea spațiilor verzi urbane. Subiectele lor au rămas aceleași în ceea ce privește proiectarea și managementul spațiului verde legat de sănătatea mentală și fizică, insulele de căldură urbană, poluarea aerului, incluziunea socială, dar contextul s-a schimbat în mare măsură: după ce s-a terminat faza I, COVID-19 a creat crize masive în toată lumea, inclusiv în țările partenere din această rețea.

Good practice definition for the NGO Platform

NGO Platform in a nutshell
NGO platforms connects citizens who need help or who care about a particular issue with local groups which are active in this field.

Good practice definition of aPop-up Shop

Pop-up shop in a nutshell
Pop-up shops utilise under-used or vacant premises for short term commercial or social initiatives. Short term and low cost leases reduce the risks for entrepreneurs to experiment with new service concepts or test the market for unusual goods. At the same time the event character of a pop up shop catches the interest of the public and generates good PR. If successful the short term nature of the pop-up shop can evolve into more permanent arrangements.

Mesta mestom: Občinski proračun po meri občank in občanov

Uresničevanje participativnega proračuna v Ajdovščini

Soodločanje prebivalk in prebivalcev o porabi dela proračunskega denarja občine je v Sloveniji prisotno razmeroma kratek čas. Gre za idejo neposredne demokracije in neposrednega odločanja ljudi o upravljanju javnih zadev. Z uvedbo participativnega proračuna občina omogoči, da občanke in občani sodelujejo v postopku določanja namenske rabe dela občinskega denarja in glasujejo, katere investicije so najnujnejše in bodo najbolj prispevale k dvigu kakovosti življenja v njihovi skupnosti.

Нови времена, нови средства

Въздействието на пандемията върху УРАБКТ и транснационалното сътрудничество

Hoe beheert u een netwerk? Lessen van COVID-19

Het Health & Greenspace Action Planning Netwerk had zijn Fase II Kick-off bijeenkomst op 16-17 juni. Dit betekent dat 9 Europese steden beginnen aan een twee jaar durende reis om de lokale belanghebbenden te betrekken en samen acties te plannen voor de verbetering van stedelijke groengebieden. Onze thema's bleven hetzelfde: van het ontwerp en het beheer van groene ruimtes met de mentale en fysieke gezondheid van bewoners in het achterhoofd, stedelijke hitte-eilanden, luchtvervuiling en sociale integratie. Maar de context veranderde grotendeels: na de voltooiing van fase I, de COVID-19-beweging en de massale crisis die overal ter wereld, ook in onze partnerlanden, is ontstaan.
