  • Bridging Past and Future: EcoCore’s Final Meeting in Dubrovnik

    After a morning of heavy rain, the clouds lifted to reveal a spectacular rainbow arcing across the Adriatic, perfectly framing Dubrovnik’s rugged peninsula. It  was a breathtaking sight and a fitting metaphor for the EcoCore journey.

    Over the past two and a half years, partners had weathered their own storms -  learning, co-creating, and challenging themselves and each other to think differently. Now, standing together beneath that rainbow, they could finally see the result: robust Integrated Action Plans, ready to launch across their cities.

  • The mistery of gender equality (a true story from Torino)

    By Città di Torino,

     

    It all began in Turin more than forty years ago. The City seemed committed to a bold mission: gender equality. But as the case developed, it became increasingly intricate, influenced by administrative processes, shared responsibilities, and several concurrent efforts. Apparent progress often revealed areas where deeper integration was still needed. The evidence was clear: despite countless efforts, Turin still lacked a single, coherent master plan for equal opportunities.

     

    Then came FEMACT-Cities — the turning point in the investigation.
    A new task force was formed, determined to reopen the cold case and connect the missing dots between policies, people, and purpose to develop a new Gender Equality Plan.

    Međusobno učenje na djelu: što smo naučili iz procesa revizije akcijskih planova mreže GenProcure

    Nedavno je mreža GenProcure imala priliku iskoristiti podršku ad hoc stručnjakinje Franziske Singer, koja je projektnim partnerima pomogla u izradi i reviziji integriranih akcijskih planova te doprinijela osmišljavanju i vođenju transnacionalnog sastanka GenProcure održanog u Újfehértóu i Satu Mareu. U ovom ćemo tekstu podijeliti njezina razmišljanja i saznanja koja nas inspiriraju dok napredujemo u provedbi planiranih akcija.
