Debate on the future of Europe - Europe for Citizens Programme

Deadline: 1 September 2017

Lead partner: Municipality of Sicily – IT

Description of the project offered:

Municipalities and associations working together on a common theme in a long-term perspective may wish todevelop networks of towns to make their cooperation more sustainable. Networking between municipalitieson issues of common interest appears to be an important means for enabling the exchange of good practices.

The European Commission supports the development of such networks, which are important for ensuringstructured, intense and multifaceted cooperation, therefore contributing to maximizing the impact of theProgramme.

Networks of Towns are expected to:

• Integrate a range of activities around the subject(s) of common interest to be addressed in the context of the Programme’s objectives or annual priorities;

Have defined target groups for which the selected themes are particularly relevant and involve communitymembers active in the subject area ( experts, local associations, citizens and citizens’ groups directlyaffected by the theme, etc.);

• Serve as a basis for future initiatives and actions between the towns involved, on the issues addressed or possibly on further issues of common interest.
