From November 19 to December 6, ALDA is excited to host Membership Days, a cycle of engaging events and activities across our offices in Europe! Designed for both #ALDAMembers and potential members, this series is an invitation to discover ALDA’s impact, forge new partnerships, expand networks, and gain essential tools for fostering citizen participation and inclusion. We invite you to connect with us and learn more about the transformative work we do in local democracy.
Grand Opening – ALDA Talk on the book “30 Years of Local Democracy” 📘
On November 28, join us for the Grand Opening with an online presentation of 30 Years of Local Democracy by ALDA Secretary General, Antonella Valmorbida. This book is more than a historical account—it celebrates how local voices and grassroots efforts have catalysed global change through ALDA’s three decades of work, from supporting the Balkans after the war to advancing democracy in Ukraine and North Africa. This session offers a glimpse into ALDA’s journey and the power of community-led action.
