Enti locali: appuntamento in Polonia con il Congresso europeo
Le regioni come motori dell’economia europea. È questo il tema centrale della sesta edizione del Congresso europeo degli enti locali, in programma il 6 e il 7 dicembre a Mikołajki (Polonia).
Congresso europeo Enti locali - alleanze per vincere sfida sviluppo
Nuova location, quindi, per l'European Congress of Local Governments, l’evento annuale che riunisce i più importanti funzionari statali e locali, gli imprenditori e gli esperti che si occupano di questioni regionali, ospitato negli scorsi anni a Cracovia e quest'anno organizzato a Mikołajki, nel distretto di Mrągowo.
Nonostante le amministrazioni locali abbiano un forte impatto sulla vita economica e sociale di un Paese, spesso il loro potenziale viene sottovalutato nel rapporto con le autorità centrali. "Occorre riconoscere, poi sbloccare e infine fare il giusto uso delle opportunità offerte dal luogo e dalle sua peculiarità. Questo è il modo in cui noi guardiamo all'Europa ed è questa la prospettiva che vogliamo mostrare durante il Congresso", ha sottolineato Zygmunt Berdychowski, l'organizzatore della manifestazione.
Il programma della due giorni prevede 13 percorsi tematici, con oltre 100 eventi tra sessioni plenarie, tavole rotonde, workshop, conferenze, presentazioni e dibattiti. Sono attesi circa 2000 partecipanti, provenienti da quasi 40 paesi di tutto il mondo.
Il gala di premiazione sarà uno dei momenti più importanti del Congresso, durante il quale verranno assegnati i premi ai migliori governi locali del paese. L'anno scorso Dobra Szczecińska ha ottenuto il riconoscimento di miglior comune rurale, mentre il titolo di miglior comune rurale-urbano è andato a Dziwnow. Il premio per la migliore contea è andato invece a Konstancin-Jeziorna, mentre Poznań è stata nominata la migliore città della contea, insieme a Varsavia; mentre Podkowa Leśna ha ottenuto il titolo di migliore città.
