Spoznajte projekte, ki spreminjajo vsakdan v Podonavju

Radio televizija Slovenija je konec lanskega leta pričela s predstavljanjem treh makroregij, v katere je vključena Slovenija, Alpske, Jadransko-Jonske in Podonavske. V ta namen so pripravili več kratkih oddaj o posameznih projektih ter tri daljše, o vsaki makroregiji eno.

Center za evropsko prihodnost aktivno sodeluje pri izvajanju in implementaciji ene izmed makroregij – Podonavske, in sicer kot koordinator enega izmed področij, to je področje Institucionalna krepitev in sodelovanje Glavni namen je povezovanje akterjev v regiji za izboljšanje sodelovanja, pretoka informacij in povečanje učinka projektov, ki jih izvajajo različne institucije.

PODONAVJE

Donava je za Volgo druga najdaljša evropska reka. Njena 2860 kilometrov dolga pot od izvira v Schwarzwaldu, Črnem gozdu, do izliva v Črnem morju se vije skozi zgodovinsko, gospodarsko in kulturno izredno raznovrstna območja. Evropska unija je v želji, da bi se širše območje Podonavja bolj povezalo in razvilo, sprejela Podonavsko strategijo. Ta makroregija zajema 14 držav, devet od njih je polnopravnih članic Evropske unije. Na tem ozemlju živi 115 milijonov prebivalcev, ki v različnih projektih uresničujejo skupne interese: prometne, energetske, kulturne, naravovarstvene, izobraževalne, varnostne, ..

Zakaj MAKROREGIJE?

ZATO, ker se na območju evropskih makroregij prebivalci spopadajo s podobnimi razvojnimi, socialno-ekonomskimi, transportnimi in okolijskimi problemi, ki so lahko povsem različni, kot so izzivi v drugih geografskih prostorih.

ZATO, ker makroregije spodbujajo in povezujejo čezmejne trajnostne inovativne ideje, skupne projekte, ki jih predlagajo lokalni prebivalci in z njimi ustvarjajo nova delovna mesta, konkurenčnost podjetij, gospodarsko rast, trajnostni razvoj in izboljšanje življenja vseh državljanov.

ZATO, ker makroregije povezujejo in rešujejo vprašanja med sosednjimi državami,  tako članicami EU kot kandidatkami za vstop v EU

ZATO, ker je glas več držav močnejši, ko gre za zastopanje interesov evropskih državljanov v določenem geografskem prostoru.

Vabimo vas, da spoznate ustvarjalce oddaj in z odličnimi poznavalci makroregij izmenjate ideje in mnenja o možnih načinih sodelovanja ter povečanju vidnosti EU projektov v Sloveniji in širše.

Centre for European Perspective is between 18th and 22nd of February 2019 evaluating fourth “Mentoring, Monitoring & Advising (MMA)” course, held in Vicenza, Italy.  Evaluations are held in order to improve the course agenda and overall development of the project. Participants will through the course of five days focus on EU diplomatic security/crisis management; general aspects and phases of Mentoring, Monitoring and Advising; designing and planning interventions for capacity building: project management methodologies; Communication in a cross-cultural context; negotiation skills; Coping with resistance & identifying viable approaches to capacity building; working with interpreters; Handover & Reporting.

LET4CAP is a project funded by the EU within the framework of the Internal Security Fund with the objective to foster a process of harmonization of training for Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) to perform capacity building tasks in third countries and to create a common Law Enforcement capacity building culture founded on EU fundamental values.

The Project is implemented by a consortium that includes two law enforcement agencies (the Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units of the Italian Carabinieri and the Polish Police), two centers of excellence in research and training, namely the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies (Italy) and the Centre for European Perspective (Slovenia) and one Italian governmental agency specialised in project management of EU funds (Studiare Sviluppo).

The training programme is based upon a preliminary desk research, good practices and lessons learnt in the field of the existing law enforcement capacity building. All training materials will be consolidated after the last training courses in e-learning tools disseminated via institutional channels and the project website.

Training on mentoring in civilian crisis management successfully concluded in Kenya

15. 2. 2019 | ENTRi, PR

Centre for European Perspective (CEP) organised a four day training on mentoring and advising in civilian crisis management and peacekeeping missions this week in Kenya. The course was organised in the framework of the ENTRi project, which is 90% financed by the European Commission.  It gathered 22 participants, mainly working for EUCAP Somalia, African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), EUCAP Sahel Niger, African Union – United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) and other missions.

In the past years, mentoring has been increasingly applied by the UN and EU as an approach to capacity building in civilian crisis management and peacekeeping to facilitate the transfer of expertise from mission staff to local counterparts. The terms of reference for experts, particularly in the areas of rule of law, justice system reform, corrections and police often include mentoring as an instrument to support national authorities in their progress toward sustainable democratic change and accountability in further developing and strengthening their institutions.

Mentoring is a process that requires building of trust between mentor and a mentee. This is challenging in face of fragile, conflict contexts in which peace operations are set, frequent staff turn-over and power relations between international mission personnel and local counterparts. Cultural aspects can further create obstacles to building constructive working relationships.

The course aimed to consolidate the understanding of the role of a mentor and processes of mentoring in peace operations with the necessary shift of mind-set and attitude: from being a ‘doer’, therefore a professional with authority and decision-making and executive functions in their area of work, into being an observer, listener and resource person to assist local officials and stakeholders in enhancing their ability and facilitating the identification of problems and possible solutions.

The course was practical in nature and equipped subject matter experts with knowledge in mentoring skills and ability to successfully build a working relationship with their local counterpart and implement their mission mandates.

U-LEAD: Third study visit concludes in Ptuj

11. 2. 2019 | PR, U-LEAD: with Europe, Waste management

Last week the third study visit “Travel to Know – Travel to Change” in the framework of „U-LEAD with Europe – Ukraine – Local Empowerment, Accountability and Development” programme concluded with a closing ceremony in Ptuj.

The visit took place between 3rd and 8th of February 2019 with 18 public officials from Ukraine visiting Ljubljana, Vrhnika, Celje and Ptuj, under the patronage of U-LEAD with Europe Programme. The project on the topic of waste management – “Upgrading Municipal Waste Management Services” – helps key actors of 36 selected amalgamated hromadas (AH) in three Ukrainian regions (Dnipropetrovsk, Volyn and Zhytomyr) to implement green approaches in the waste management sector and to obtain knowledge about the best practices of transparent and accountable waste management services, which is responsive to the needs of population.

The third international study visit has had, alongside theoretical approach, a strong emphasis on practical cases of the Slovenian communities’ experience in municipal waste management planning, municipal waste collection, treatment and disposal options, so the participants visited Snaga Ljubljana, Kemis Vrhnika, CERO Celje, Toplarna Celje, Javne službe Ptuj and Saubermacher Kidričevo. Visiting a modern incineration and a waste treatment plants gave the participants an opportunity to get acquainted with new technologies that could be taken into consideration for further contribution of AHs to the regional waste management planning.

The multi-donor action U-LEAD of the European Union and its Member States Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Poland and Sweden was established in order to carry out demand-driven and targeted training for officials at the national, regional and local level.
