  • TechDiversity APN Project × the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals): Diversity as an Urban Development Tool …

    Intr

     

    TechDiversity was an URBACT network of eight partners representing small and medium-sized European cities, that aim to boost and facilitate diverse local communities that are not active in Tech & Digital sector, facing specific challenges in terms of diversity, gender equality and inclusion. Furthermore, the partner cities mainly focused on an identified pressing aspect and supported at least one diverse local group, through the integrated action plans developed. 

     

    Info letter I icon (png symbol) purpleTechDiversity core policy issue was the lack of diverse communities looking to  grow  knowledge-based  digital and tech ecosystems …

     

     

    TechDiversity was built on a simple but powerful idea: if our tech & digital ecosystems aren’t inclusive by design, they won’t be effective by design. Diversity and inclusion (D&I) are not add-ons; they are developments tools that let cities educate, innovate, and govern in ways that leave no one behind. That approach unlocks measurable progress across the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - especially 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, and 17 - and it’s already shaping how TechDiversity partner cities design policies, run small scale actions, and scale what really works.

    Cluj-Napoca (RO), 20-21 November 2025 - 2Nite Transnational Meeting

    The 2Nite network gathered in Cluj-Napoca for its second Transnational Meeting on 20–21 November 2025. Over two days, partners explored how the involved European cities can better understand and improve liveability and perception of safety on public space, especially in neighbourhoods undergoing rapid change. Hosted by the Municipality of Cluj-Napoca, the meeting brought together local stakeholders, community representatives, and project partners for presentations, workshops, discussions, and field visits.

    The purpose of the meeting was not only to check on progress, but also to exchange good practices and  deepen the collaboration among partners, learn from local experiences, and collectively shape the next phases of the project. The sessions alternated between structured inputs, group work, and on-the-ground exploration of recent urban transformations.
