MedCities launched the project EMPLOIMed, financed by the Catalan Agency for Cooperation to the Development, which aims to establish a support service for employability and entrepreneurship in M’Saken and Chefchaouen, offering spaces for co-working, information, training opportunities and support for young people.
In October, a first meeting with the municipalities’ team of M’Saken and Chefchaoen was organised online in order to start planning the project activities in accordance to their needs.
The overall objective is to strengthen the role and capacities of the local governments as actors of economic development in supporting its youth population’s employability and promoting entrepreneurship.
The main activities of the project are:
1-To develop a methodological guide on the needs, services and resources to set up a support service for youth’s employability and entrepreneurship.
2-To establish the support service and identify tools to consolidate the service in the long-term.
3-To provide training in soft skills for young people and promote the co-working space.
4-To implement a specific professional training for youth in the economic sector offering more job opportunities in M’Saken and Chefchaouen.
5-To organise a job fair in each territory bringing together local businesses and young unemployed people.
A public consultation was therefore organized on Saturday 16 November to introduce the project, and assess the social acceptability of the project, including the potential impacts and positive outcomes, to the main stakeholder.
MedCities, IRIDRA and SVI.MED had the opportunity to participate in a study visit in Barcelona. Organised within the framework of the URWAN project, the objective of this study visit was to explore the Nature Based Solutions (NBS) and other sustainable water management solutions carried out by the Municipality of Barcelona to tackle the typical challenges faced by many Mediterranean cities: drought and the resulting flash floods.
MedCities aims to promote city-to-city learning and the thematic working groups are an enriching and trust-based opportunity for it. In this regard, the 2024 work plan focuses in a peer–to-peer programme that consists in inviting two cities of the group to share a concrete challenge related to their local mobility policies or project. The takers (Takers of advice) are the municipalities of Rethymno and Agadir.
