- Eduardo Tadeu PEREIRA
This document discusses aging issues in Albania and the work of the Albanian Society for All Ages (ASAG) to advocate for policies and services that improve the lives of older people. It notes that 12% of Albania's population is elderly and that elderly women live longer than elderly men. ASAG works to give older women a voice and address their needs, especially in rural areas where poverty and lack of services are problems. The document also highlights the lack of legislation and institutions to support the elderly in Albania.

This interim report from the All Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration outlines six principles for improving integration of immigrants in the UK:
1. The government should develop a comprehensive national integration strategy that addresses economic, civic and social integration across communities.
2. Local authorities should be required to implement local integration action plans.
3. The government's "one size fits all" immigration policy approach needs reassessment, possibly adopting a more regional or devolved system.
4. Integration efforts should begin upon a immigrant's arrival, including mandatory English classes and pathways to citizenship.
5. Better data is needed to understand integration levels across the UK.
6. The government must demonstrate strong leadership on immigration

Community Development Banks (Instituto Palmas Methodogy)bancopalmas
Community Development Banks (CDBs) are a network of community-owned and operated banks that provide solidarity finance services to generate jobs and income in low-income areas. CDBs offer credit and banking services through local branches run by community organizations. Their services help promote local production and consumption networks to support economic development in otherwise excluded communities. CDBs operate using both national currency and local social currencies.
This document discusses the emerging approach of "community wealth building" in the United States. It is defined as a systems approach to economic development that creates an inclusive, sustainable economy built on locally rooted and broadly held ownership. The document provides examples of community wealth building initiatives in various cities, such as worker cooperatives in New York City and community land trusts in Boston. It argues that community wealth building is a coherent framework that embodies common drivers like developing local assets, collaboration, inclusion, and prioritizing people and place over traditional models of economic development.
The document discusses plans to establish Healthwatch Lambeth, an independent organization that will gather residents' views on local health and social care services and ensure those views are heard, by having residents, stakeholders, and council officers help design it at a "Good for Nothing" event in a way that involves a diverse range of people. The event aims to explore new methods for capturing resident feedback, developing communication strategies, and engaging different communities in meaningfully shaping this new service.

This document discusses sustainable urban development in Brazilian cities. It begins by analyzing the differences between urbanization in Brazil versus developed countries, noting that Brazilian cities grew in a disorderly way without adequate jobs or services for migrants. It then discusses concepts of urban sustainability and innovations that could improve the situation in Brazilian cities, such as community governance and participatory urban planning. It highlights the experience of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro developing a sustainable development plan for the small city of São José do Vale do Rio Preto as an example of planning sustainable settlements and reversing the chaotic growth of cities. The document argues for learning from past mistakes and preparing small cities for sustainable growth to improve quality of life in Brazilian cities.

A study into the utilization of the district assemblies common fund in the n...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a research study on the utilization of the District Assemblies' Common Fund in the New Juaben Municipality of Ghana. The study found that:
1) Between 2008-2010, only 60.36% of the expected funds from the Common Fund were released, posing challenges for project management.
2) Projects were selected based on priority order.
3) Almost all communities benefited from projects funded by the Common Fund.
The document discusses the city development strategy (CDS) planning process according to the World Bank. It describes the key phases and tools used in each phase. The phases include assessing the current situation, defining a vision for the future, identifying priority issues, building consensus, formulating strategies, and determining actions. Tools range from stakeholder consultations and SWOT analyses to project prioritization matrices and monitoring frameworks. The goal of the CDS process is to establish a strategic plan to guide a city's sustainable development through participatory and evidence-based decision making.
This project aims to strengthen the social participation ecosystem in Brazil by creating a digital marketplace to connect social initiatives, demonstrating their values and skills. Over two years, the project expects to increase the number of initiatives by 21%, people involved by 30%, total revenue of initiatives by 20%, and people directly involved in efforts by 100%. It will map existing networks, select initiatives for incubation, develop guidelines for replication, and launch a digital platform to connect social participation organizations across Brazil.
This document discusses the issues with capitalism and proposes solidarity-based economy as an alternative. It provides examples of how solidarity-based practices have helped developing regions like Bosnia and Herzegovina. Specifically, it summarizes that capitalism has led to issues like inequality, poverty and environmental degradation when profit is the sole motive. However, solidarity-based models focus on cooperation and local development, empowering small communities through associations like a raspberry farmers' cooperative in Bosnia that generates income for thousands while investing back into the community. The document argues capitalism must integrate ethical values and support local development through community groups for economic systems to be truly sustainable and beneficial.
This document discusses issues facing state and local governments in providing services to urban communities, and proposes regionalism as a solution. It summarizes the "Place Matters" initiative which argues for moving impoverished people to mixed areas and regional coordination of programs. The author argues regionalism would help close economic and political divides in New Jersey by deconcentrating urban poverty across wider areas through policies like housing voucher expansion, tax base sharing between localities, and coordinating housing, jobs and transportation programs regionally. Critics argue racism is the primary issue, but the author believes regionalism can help reduce biases over time by creating more interracial communities with shared economic interests.
The document summarizes the key challenges facing local governments in South Africa in translating national development goals into local realities. It identifies tensions between regulation and local autonomy, political interference in administration, difficulties recruiting skilled personnel, and lack of community participation as ongoing issues hampering developmental local governance. Recommendations include balancing regulation with local initiative, clarifying political and administrative roles, improving recruitment strategies, and fostering a culture of participatory democracy.

Vienna has a population of over 1.7 million people, with 49% having a migration background and 21% lacking Austrian citizenship. The city has implemented numerous initiatives to become a more equitable human rights city, including establishing a Women's Office in 1992, passing an Equal Treatment Act in 1996, and creating a Department of Integration and Diversity in 2004. Vienna adopted a human rights approach beginning in 1993 and officially began efforts to build a human rights city in 2013 through analysis, allocating resources, political and legal statements, and stakeholder engagement. The goal is to develop a new political culture based on human rights.

Access Living promotes independent living through services like housing assistance and legal advocacy. It also highlights success stories of people with disabilities living independently. However, Arnold noted there are still gaps in disability equality, like failures to close institutions in Illinois and issues with sheltered workshops. He sees opportunities to celebrate disability civil rights through anniversaries of important laws.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

「The right to the city and local governments: how can municipalities translate this right into local policies」- Eduardo Tadeu PEREIRA
1. “The right to the city and local
governments: how can
municipalities translate this right into
local policies"
Eduardo Tadeu Pereira
Brazilian Association of Municipalities President
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
2. Brazilian Federal Structure
Brazil is one of the few countries in the world that has
triple federal structure: Union, States and
Municipalities;
this reality is due to the broad democratization process
by which the country started in the 80s, which among
other measures, consolidated local government
autonomy;
until then the dictatorial regime kept the central state.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
3. Municipalities and autonomy
The Federal Constitution of 1988 recognized the
municipalities as a federated entities, giving:
• Its own taxing authority;
• elective political capacity;
• self-organization of the state.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
4. Asymmetries between Brazilian
municipalities
• 70% of municipalities have less than 20.000 inhabitants and house
only 13% of the population;
• 283 municipalities with over 100 thousand inhabitants generated
approximately 70% of all the income of the country. 3.915
municipalities with up to 20.000 inhabitants were responsible for less
than 11% of income;
• in 2010, the income generated by 6 municipalities accounted for
approximately 25% of all the income generation of the country and
these municipalities represent 13.7% of the population;
• the GDP per capita of 10% of the municipalities with the highest
GDP per capita was 5.4 times higher than the GDP per capita of 60%
of the municipalities with the lowest GDP per capita.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
5. Local government's difficulties
Local governments face a number of difficulties in Brazil
• Financial dependence on the State and Union;
• technical management that requires improvement and
modernization;
• assume the costs that are the responsibility of other
federal entities
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
7. Municipalities as protagonists
Even with all these difficulties, the municipalities exert
central role in the implementation of public policies
formulated by the Union:
• Bolsa Família: cash transfer program;
• PAC (Program Acceleration Growth): Transference of
federal resources to sanitation and infrastructure works;
• Minha Casa Minha Vida: housing construction for low-
income families.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
8. Local Goavernment and the right to the city
• Brazilian municipalities are the federal entities that are able -
despite the challenges- to ensure the right to the city.
• It’ s viable from the time that the government ensures conditions for
people to participate:
-Education
-Health
-Safety
-Decent Housing
-Basic Services
• We’ve advanced a lot in Brazil into this factors, in combating
poverty and misery, because of the guarantee of basic services
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
9. Local Government and the right to the city
• The guarantee of basic services is important, but not
sufficient;
• progressives Brazilian governments have guaranteed the
right to the city through actions that foster participatory
democracy, creating spaces for participation and
strengthen dialogue between the people and the
government.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
10. Local Government and the right to the city
When we talk about the right to the city, it is essential to pay
special attention to historically excluded and promote:
• Gender equality;
• combating racism;
• ensuring spaces for youth.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
11. Participatory budget
• Created in 1989 in Porto Alegre
(RS) – Brazil;
• tt’s a government mechanism for
participatory democracy that
allows citizens to influence or
decide on the public budgets,
usually the investment budget for
municipalities through processes
of community participation;
• with that, civil society will occupy
spaces that before were "stolen"
from it.
12. Participatory budget
• 351 Brazilian municipalities adopt participatory budgeting;
• due to this practice, they all stand out - compared to cities
without popular participation in the decision on the fate of
public resources - spending more on health and
sanitation, have better performance in reducing child
mortality and register greater presence of organizations
civil society interacting with the government;
• studies like this demonstrate how granting the right to the
city is the way to building sustainable and inclusive cities.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
13. Solidarity Economy
In Brazil, the Solidarity Economy has widespread as a
strategy to encourage excluded person to occupy their
space in society;
economy model: cooperative, solidary and inclusive;
it’s an alternative to the capitalist system, that is
responsible for the exclusion of the economically
underprivileged.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
19. Local Governments and the right to
the city
• Municipalities are, in excellence, the space for
development of the right to the city;
• local government are closer to population;
• popular participation is more direct at the local level
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
20. Difficulties
• Shortage of resources and competence;
• difficulty convincing the technical and municipal
leaders, which generates the marginalization of the
theme;
• lack of mechanisms that make the right to the city goes
beyond declarations.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
21. Concrete actions
• Adoption of a municipal charter about the right to the
city;
• common action among the different sectors of the
municipality for the realization of the right to the city;
• training for municipal leaders to information and
persuasion.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
22. United Cities and Local Govern (UCLG)
• Founded in 2004;
• has 6 regional sessions;
• works with committees and working groups, currently
with 17 committees, such as:
-culture
-urban-planning
-periphery cities
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
23. Commite on Social Inclusion, Participatory
Democracy and Human Rights (CSIPDHR)
The Commission for Social Inclusion and Participatory
Democracy arose from the organization of progressive sectors
participating in the FAL - Forum of Local Authorities, from 2001,
under the World Social Forum;
in 2005, the Commission became institutionalized within the
UCLG.
Brazilian Association of Municipalities
24. CSIPDHR/UCLG: Objectives
