Two groups have tackled during a quick workshop two challenges that the very same group helped make sense of beforehand from all the insights that were collected during our first week of virtual global exchange

1. DIGITALIZATION: team from Gaza, Lebanon and Colombia tackling the challenges on digitalization

2. CIVIL SOCIETY ENGAGEMENT: team from: Algeria, Israel, Germany and Estonia worked on the challenge of how to keep the civil society engaged.

 

Additionally, to the results of the previous hands-on workshop on municipal challenges, we will give you insights on how municipalities can obtain financial recovery and support for local change projects.

Are you looking for professional support for the further development of development policy commitment in your municipality? And how can municipalities obtain financial support for their development policy commitment? We will show you which possibilities are currently available and give you insights on how to recover from financial problems in cities due to COVID-19.
