Jó gyakorlat a civil platformról

A Civil Platformról röviden

A civil platformok jelentősége, hogy összekapcsolják a segítségre szoruló vagy egy adott kérdésben érintett lakosokat az aktív helyi csoportokkal. A civil platformok emellett tanácsadást nyújtanak a helyi csoportoknak, valamint támogatják őket munkájuk összehangolásában. Továbbá a városban működő civil szervezetek tevékenységének koordinálását segítve fontos hidat képeznek a civil társadalom és az állami intézmények között.

RU:RBAN ARE PROPRIA POVESTE DE TRANSFER: CUM SE REALIZEAZĂ GRĂDINILE URBANE

Filosofia din spatele Rețelelor de Transfer URBACT este încorporată în numele său: transferul de bune practici al unui oraș către un grup de orașe care au identificat posibilitatea de a adopta (și de a adapta) astfel de bune practici și de a le face proprii. Toate în spiritul de a împărtăși cunoștințe și experiență cu scopul final de a îmbunătăți calitatea vieții, în fațetele sale multiple, în orașele noastre. Fiecare rețea de transfer ar trebui să producă o „poveste de transfer” care este, pe scurt, povestea modului în care bunele practici au fost transferate în alte orașe ale UE, care au fost provocările cu care se confruntă și oportunitățile apărute în proces.

Mesta mestom: Umetniška četrt v Celju

V zadnjih desetletjih so tudi v Sloveniji v porastu umetniške iniciative, ki pogosto naseljujejo zapuščene in degradirane prostore. Te ne le ponovno odpirajo prostore skupnosti, temveč pomagajo tudi oblikovati organizacijske in socialne strukture, ki prej na območju niso bile prisotne. Redkejši
so primeri, kjer pobuda za oživitev praznih in degradiranih prostorov s kreativnimi vsebinami pride »od zgoraj« in je postavljena v sisteme
upravljanja lokalne oblasti. V Celju je bila tako občina tista, ki se je odločila ponuditi prazne objekte v najem celjskim umetnikom, kar je vodilo v osnovanje umetniške četrti, ki je sčasoma postala vozlišče in zatočišče ustvarjalcev različnih kreativnih dejavnosti.
