    How to write good applications using storytelling techniques

    The URBACT call for Action Networks, open from 17 March to 17 June 2026, aims to create partnerships of cities willing to put their city strategies in motion and implement concrete actions in their local contexts. 

     

    Over the years, the URBACT Secretariat has received hundreds of applications to different calls. Many applications fail to clearly present what the project idea is about, include jargon, long and vague sentences or are written by Artificial Intelligence which does not make them any better.

    Mesta >> mestom: Reactivos culturales

    Kulturno dogajanje v mestih in krajih je pogosto zgoščeno v središčih, medtem ko je v stanovanjskih soseskah in na obrobjih manj tovrstne ponudbe. Po drugi strani pa se umetniki in ustvarjalci pogosto soočajo s pomanjkanjem ustreznih prostorov in omejenimi možnostmi za vključevanje lokalne skupnosti. V španski Murcii so te izzive naslovili s celostno prenovo lokalnega kulturnega modela, ki krepi umetniško ustvarjanje in kulturno ponudbo širi na obrobja. Praksa »Reactivos culturales« je dober primer, kako lahko občine s strateško uporabo javnih sredstev izboljšajo pogoje dela lokalnih ustvarjalcev in hkrati zagotovijo uravnotežen dostop do kulturnih vsebin.

    Mesta >> mestom: Skupnostna elektrarna Sončna šola

    Prehod v nizkoogljično družbo zahteva temeljite spremembe v načinu proizvodnje in porabe energije. Obnovljivi viri, kot je sončna energija, imajo velik potencial, a sočasno zahtevajo nove pristope k organizaciji, lastništvu in upravljanju energetskih sistemov. Energetske skupnosti, zlasti tiste, ki temeljijo na zadružnem modelu, omogočajo vključevanje prebivalcev, občin in podjetij v skupno proizvodnjo in upravljanje energije. Takšni modeli niso le učinkoviti pri zmanjševanju izpustov toplogrednih plinov, temveč tudi prispevajo k lokalnemu razvoju, energetski pravičnosti in demokratizaciji odločanja o rabi virov.
