The 2019 edition of the European Week of Regions and Cities will take place the week of 7 October. Launched in 2003, it is an annual four-day event during which cities and regions show their ability to create growth and jobs, implement the European Union’s cohesion policy and demonstrate the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance.

From regional innovation, to territorial cooperation, climate change, transport and social inclusion, the European Week of Regions and Cities offers more than 300 conferences and workshops and a wide range of themes of interest for vibrant and dynamic regions.

Euromontana will actively participate in this week by taking part to two workshops:

  • On October 8 from 09:15 to 10:45, Marie Clotteau – Director of Euromontana – will be part of a panel to discuss possibilities for EU policies to support the development of Smart Villages in rural and mountainous Europe during the workshop  “Smart Villages: overcoming the divide between rural and urban areas“.
  • On October 8 from 11:30 to 13:00, Euromontana will participate to the workshop “Europe Closer to citizens of Islands Mountains and Sparsely Populated Areas“. The event will be focusing on how the post 2020 regional policy can address the challenges and unleash the development potential of EU islands, mountains and sparsely populated areas by using tailor made approaches to their specificities.Marie Clotteau – Director of Euromontana – will  be one of the speakers.

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
