Xtreme Days Festival: celebrating sport in every dimension

The largest Italian festival dedicated to action and outdoor sports—the only one held entirely in an urban setting—started in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in a region bordering Austria and Slovenia.

In the beginning of June, the city of Sacile (PN) hosted the 10th edition of the Xtreme Days Festival: four days celebrating sport in every dimension—competition, pushing personal limits, direct experience, but also sport as entertainment, culture, and a source of inspiration.

Two Inspiring Days in Albacete: Celebrating the Final Meeting of the URBACT Re-Gen Team

The URBACT Re-Gen network gathered in Albacete for two memorable and deeply meaningful days — a meeting that marked not only the conclusion of the Integrated Action Plan (IAP) process, but also the final in-person encounter of a group that has worked side by side for more than two years.

The European urban regeneration project Re-Gen bids farewell to the city of Verona. Institutions and the public embrace Casa Verona, with ice skating and visions of the future.

The European urban regeneration project Re-Gen, led by the Municipality of Verona, will come to an end in December 2025. The last event on the programme took place on Sunday 14 December at Casa Verona, with Mayor Damiano Tommasi, Councillor for Youth Policies Jacopo Buffolo, the project's protagonists and the young skaters of the Artiskate junior quartet, world champions in roller skating in Beijing 2025. Before the meeting, 150 young girls and boys from Verona were able to try their hand at two hours of ice skating, offered by Re-Gen, with the help of two instructors and free skate and rink hire.

Moving Cities: How Re-Gen’s Small-Scale Actions Created a European Movement for Active, Healthy and Inclusive Urban Futures

After 2.5 years of collaboration, nine European cities have shown that sport, creativity and participation can transform public spaces into common spaces — places that move people, ideas and communities toward healthier, more beautiful and sustainable cities.

Joint Initiatives Between Partners

During the two years of work on the Re-Gen project, various partners have devised and implemented joint initiatives. This is the case with Cecilia Mezzano from Milan and Vasilika Lasska from Lezha. The video “The Sport Between us” that you see in the library was born from their idea. We asked Cecilia to tell us about this experience.
