 GOSPEL Creating social links through sport and good governance
Location of Activities: Armenia, Tunisia,
Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector: Integration of Minorities and Disadvantaged Groups
Lead Partner:
City of Marseille (France);
Contact: Anne DE MAXIMY - email: ademaximy@mairie-marseille.fr
Both Yerevan and Mahdia enjoy some renown for their sporting and leisure activities. Yerevan has a number of football clubs and is also famous for its chess players, while Mahdia is strong in handball. Nonetheless, neither city has sufficient sports and recreational facilities to satisfy the needs of its populations. Exacerbating this problem is the fact that many of the available facilities are not open and accessible to all. |
 SUSTOUR - Sustainable Tourism - An integrated approach to the development of sustainable tourism products
Location of Activities: Georgia, Moldova,
Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector: Sustainable Tourism
Lead Partner:
Province of Venice (Italy);
Contact: Claudia POLES - email: claudia.poles@artigianisandona.it
Tourism is an increasingly significant part of the Georgian and Moldavian economy. In looking to further develop this, Kutaisi in Georgia and Ungheni in Moldova are mindful of the need to do so in a way that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. By this is meant finding a balance between the needs of the visitor, the environment and the host community for current as well as future generations. |
 SUD - Sustainable Urban Development
Location of Activities: Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine,
Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector: Good Governance
Lead Partner:
Municipality of Ukrainka (Ukraine);
Contact: Valentyna POLTAVETS - email: ukrainka_town@ukr.net
Ukraine has 349 small depressed towns with a population of 10.000- 50.000, comprising 22% of the population. There are 60 towns of this kind in Belarus. In Georgia, around 43% of the entire population resides in small towns. These towns tend to have a single industry and in general a lack of diversity and low productivity, resulting in considerable poverty, tension and depression. This has resulted in growing numbers of vulnerable and marginalized people. |
 NEW MEDINA From pilot towns to sustainable towns – reinventing new towns
Location of Activities: Algeria, Egypt, Morocco,
Theme: Good Governance and Urban Development Policy
Sector: Urban Planning
Lead Partner:
Syndicat d’Agglomération Nouvelle de Marne-la-Vallée Val Maubuée (France)
Contact: Rémi Pain - email: r.pain@san-valmaubuee.fr
Since the Second World War, new towns and cities have grown up all over Europe to meet rapidly growing population needs. Today, many of these experimental cities are experiencing similar problems: poor image, environmental issues, a lack of social cohesiveness, and decaying infrastructure. In the past 20 years the huge growth in population has made the need to create new cities a governmental priority in many Mediterranean countries, and many have been created. |
 TourMedEau: Sustainable water management in the Mediterranean tourist areas
Location of Activities: Morocco, Tunisia,
Theme: Environmental Sustainability
Sector: Water and Wastewater
Lead Partner:
Municipality of Villasimius (Italy);
Contact: Salvatore SANNA - email: torsanna@tiscali.it
There is a general lack of dialogue between the authorities on both sides of the Mediterranean to address the issue of sustainable water management. This challenge is particularly intense in the tourism and industry sectors. Establishing sustainable water management and distribution solutions in industrial regions can be addressed through implementation and enforcement of internationally recognized norms and standards. The problems caused by tourists are more complex, however, due to the lack of compatible and sustainable water management systems to handle over consumption. |
