SUMMARY:Localising Agenda 2030: how regions can help meet the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our online debate on “Localising Agenda 2030: how regions can help meet the SDGs”\, on Wednesday 24 June from 14:30 to 16:00 CEST. \nUNDER DISCUSSION \nRegions and cities have been the first responders to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic\, coping with the immediate impact on their health systems\, and enforcing lockdowns while sustaining families and local businesses. In its economic recovery plan\, the European Commission has recognized the instrumental role of regions for a sustainable recovery. Now more than ever\, local and national authorities should join forces towards achieving a more resilient global society. With 2030 a decade away\, regions should take a lead on implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, focusing on ensuring healthy lives and wellbeing\, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and equality within and among countries. \nKey questions include: \n\nWhat is the role of regions in attaining SDGs and how can they make sure that these are not taking the back seat in the current health crisis?\nWhat tools and key partnerships can be identified to strengthen resilience of regions and communities?\nWhat role do regions play in the framework of the Conference on the Future of Europe aimed at giving European citizens and localities a greater say on how the European Union could better work for them?\n\n\n\n\nSPEAKERS INCLUDE \nAziza Akhmouch\, Head of the OECD Division for Cities\, Urban Policies and Sustainable Development \nMagnus Bertnsson\, President of the Assembly of European Regions (AER) \nRaffaele Cattaneo\, Minister for Environment and Climate of Lombardy (IT); member of the Regions 4 Steering Committee  \nDamià Calvet\, Minister of Territory and sustainability of the Government of Catalonia\, representative of UCLG-Global Taskforce \nWallis Goelen\, Senior Expert\, European Commission Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy \n  \nModeration by Dharmendra Kanani\, Director of Insights\, Friends of Europe\n\n\nThis event is part of a series of events focussing on the Sustainable Development Goals in the run up the Regions2030 Conference in Strasbourg in 2021. \nWe are partnering with Friends of Europe for this event and\, as such\, are offering a limited amount of virtual spaces– on a first come\, first serve basis – allowing you to pose your questions and interact directly with the speaker as in any of our events. You will be visible directly on the screen too. \nAlternatively\, you may also watch the event via livestream and submit your question\, tweeting @europeanregions @FriendsofEurope using #FoEDebate.

SUMMARY:Intercultural Regions: Improving Access to Services
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to a webinar on the ways in which regions can improve the accessibility of public services for better integration policies and practices with insights from IOM and the Council of Europe. \nRegional and local authorities are at the forefront when it comes to addressing integration needs in practice. The Covid-19 pandemic has strongly tested systems in place\, revealing tremendous needs but also the resourcefulness which exists at local and regional levels. This shows how essential it is to create opportunities for structured and meaningful mutual learning on integration in order to enable regional and local authorities to share good practices and improve policies and practices. \nTo facilitate these exchanges\, AER and the Council of Europe have launched the Intercultural Regions Network\, chaired by Oriol Amorós\, Secretary of Equality\, Migration and Citizenship for the Government of Catalonia. The network provides support for regions to design\, implement and evaluate diversity and inclusion strategies. \nDuring this webinar\, Dominik Zenner\, Senior Migration Health Advisor\, IOM Regional Office for the European Economic Area\, the European Union and NATO\, will share the experience of IOM on improving the accessibility of public services for third-country nationals. He will highlight the importance of access to health services\, an issue which has become particularly salient with the COVID-19 crisis. Irena Guidikova\, Head of Division\, Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Programmes\, Council of Europe will explain how using an intercultural approach to providing public services dramatically changes the quality and efficiency of services. She will share implementation examples from around Europe. \nSpeakers: \n\nOriol Amorós\, Chair of the Intercultural Regions Network\, Secretary of Equality\, Migration and Citizenship for the Government of Catalonia.\nDominik Zenner\, Senior Migration Health Advisor\, IOM Regional Office for the European Economic Area\, the European Union and NATO\nIrena Guidikova\, Head of Division\, Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Programmes\, Council of Europe\nNuria Diez Guardia\, Policy Officer\, European Commission Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs\, Unit C2 – Legal Pathways and Integration.\n\nModerator: Johanna Pacevicius\, Coordinator Policy & Knowledge Transfer AER \n  \nThis webinar is organised in the context of Includ-EU\, an EU-funded project which contributes to building more inclusive and cohesive European societies by enhancing knowledge\, driving innovation and stimulating cooperation between local and regional authorities in the European Union. \nThis event will be recorded.
