All trainings foreseen in Agadir and Zarqa have come to an end this month of October. Today, more than 60 women and 30 youngsters in Zarqa and Agadir are more prepared to develop a green business project. They made extra efforts in Agadir, including two extra activities: a field visit to the Aouir Water treatment plant and an environmental workshop after this field visit. In parallel, both local coordinators are in the final selection phase to choose the mentees to accompany during November and design a communicative action.
Besides, MedCities and Barcelona Provincial Council co-organised a second online workshop on exploring the social and solidarity economy as a tool for the social insertion of vulnerable populations and to boost green and circular economy projects. The workshop has been a dialogue between the el Prat de Llobregat and the Santa Coloma de Gramenet officers, and the general director of Rubricatus foundation working on labor insertion of disabled adults, with the officers of MedCities members belonging to the LASERMED Community (Assalt, Agadir, Sousse, Zgharta-Ehden, Zarqa). The discussion focused on how a Municipality with few resources can impact socioeconomic development with a green perspective. The results of this exchange have been gathered to develop the Capitalisation Guide that we will present in December.
Second community meeting:
The Barcelona Academy for Mediterranean Municipalities (BAMM) took place from October 15 to 18, 2024, organised by MedCities and the Barcelona City Council. The academy gathered 16 technical experts and mayors from ten cities: Amman, Antalya, Barcelona, Bethlehem, Benghazi, Irbid, Málaga, Sarajevo, Tétouan, Tripoli (Lebanon), and the non-Mediterranean city of Nouakchott.
MedCities was invited to participate and it was a great experience as the Secretary-General could underline that the migratory aspect is now included as a key topic to be addressed in some of our projects such as ASIMATunis strategic plan, and included in some of the actions of projects that look at the greening the cities concept with a migration perspective, like Irbid. Also, Canals could explain the experience of the Tanger Accueil project.
The municipalities of Agadir, Ancona, Dubrovnik, Izmir, Mersin, Sarajevo & Rethymno met in Montpellier to visit on the field the Metropole Mediterrannee Montpellier's transformative projects to prioritise pedestrians on the urban space, and promote cycling and public transport, with new tramlines and strong efforts to support the change of behaviours of daily commuting in the city.
