DESCRIPTION

Access

Amsterdam (NL), Sofia (BG), Tallinn (EE), Dublin (IE), Vilnius (LT), Riga (LV), Lisbon (PT), Greater London Authority (UK)

ACCESS addresses the importance of inclusive cultural policies. A challenge the eight partner cities in this APN all face is that culture does not enrich or empower all people equally. We need to gain a better understanding of our communities in order to engage all citizens in our cities. We have identified four topics to work on that will enable us to gain that understanding and support us in reaching all population groups in the participating cities from the west, east and south of Europe.

The aim of Active Citizens is to rethink the place of the citizen in the local governance by finding a balance between representative democracy and participatory democracy. This network of European small and medium-sized cities, with the same expectations and the similar challenges, will take into account, to do this, new digital tools while integrating the issue of citizens away or not comfortable with digital tools.
