  • Poznań természetközeli játszóterei

    Richard Louv „Az utolsó gyermek az erdőben" (The Last Child in the Woods) című könyvében a természettel való kapcsolat hiányának következményeit vizsgálja a gyermekeknél. Megállapítja, hogy a városokban élő gyermekek körülményeikből adódóan csak keveset játszhatnak szabadon a természetben, ami rossz hatással van a szellemi fejlődésükre, a koncentrációs képességükre, a mozgáskoordinációjukra és a fizikai állapotukra. A természetközeli játszóterek megoldást kínálnak erre a problémára.

  • “Trabajamos para que las entidades locales accedan y gestionen directamente los fondos europeos”

    Gema Rodríguez es la jefa del Área de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias (FEMP). Será una de las ponentes en las jornadas ‘Transferencias Urbanas’ organizadas por el Punto Nacional URBACT y el Ayuntamiento de Madrid los próximos días 7 y 8 de septiembre. Sin duda, la presencia de la FEMP aportará a los participantes información muy interesante sobre cómo se está trabajando desde este organismo para que las entidades locales puedan beneficiarse de los fondos europeos de recuperación.

  • Programa completo de las jornadas ‘Transferencias Urbanas’, que también se retransmitirán en directo

    Ya tenemos cerrado el programa de las jornadas "Transferencias Urbanas" que organizamos junto al Ayuntamiento de Madrid los próximos días 7 y 8 de septiembre. Con 150 participantes presenciales (el aforo máximo permitido por las restricciones de la COVID-19), y dado el interés que ha generado la convocatoria, hemos pensado que sería oportuno emitir por streaming las conferencias, las ponencias y las mesas redondas.

Maribor participates in the URGE project as the only industrial partner and with its practical insight has an important contribution to the network, which otherwise consists of city and regional administrations. By participating in the URBACT network Nigrad d.o.o. complements its other activities in other European projects, where they develop solutions for the processing of construction waste. Locally, Nigrad d.o.o. wants to contribute with its work to a deeper understanding of the circular economy and its promotion in construction and thus upgrades the intensive work of the city of Maribor in the field of the circular economy.

    An important partner in the field of circular economy activities for Nigrad is also Mr Tadej Žurman, who is also an ULG member. Mr. Žurman, otherwise a lawyer, is acting as project coordinator and has successfully prepared and participated in several EU-funded circular economy projects.

  • Vilanova i la Geltrú Transfer Story

    "URBACT support has been essential to overcoming the challenges. It gave INSPIRATION at a personal, team, institutional and city level, empowering the move from immobility to action. The CONTEXT it provided helped local stakeholders to face the fear of change, providing time for reflection and the structure of a comfortable, safe space to discuss next steps, share ideas and take some informed risks. It also brought new TOOLS and METHODS that could be applied and adapted locally, to improve ways of working, achieve a better understanding and to advance faster."
