Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector: Integration of Minorities and Disadvantaged Groups
Lead Partner:

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

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. |
 EUMED Cities – EuroMed Cities Network on Good Local Governance
Location of Activities: Lebanon, Morocco,
Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Theme: Good Governance and Urban Development Policy
Sector: Good Governance
Lead Partner:
Barcelona City Council (Spain);
Contact: Xavier Godás - email: xgodas@bcn.cat
The cities of Fes, Tangier and Ghobayré are currently experiencing rapid population growth, immigration and a concentration of vulnerable populations. This challenges local authorities to develop strategies to enhance sustainable human and economic development for the benefit of all citizens, particularly those in vulnerable communities. |
 RKM Save Urban Heritage
Location of Activities: Russian Federation, Ukraine,
Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector: Good Governance
Sector: Cultural Heritage
Lead Partner:
Municipality of Rome – Department of Cultural Policies and Communication (Italy);
Contact: Luca MILAN - email: l.milan@awn.it; Rosanna PALERMO rosanna@moorroom.org
Moscow and Ukraine are two very important centres of the Russian avant-garde architectural movement of the 1920s and 30s. Since the 1990s, however, little money has gone into conserving these buildings. With many developers and architects considering it cheaper to replace rather than to preserve, iconic examples of this cultural and architectural heritage have more recently been threatened by numerous development projects. This in turn threatens the distinctive character and cultural specificities of Moscow and Kiev. |
