ALDA is excited to invite cities and regions to participate in the CCRI Mentoring Programme as part of the  Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) 

The CCRI Knowledge Hub team provides essential support to cities and regions transitioning to a circular economy. To continue further extending its offerings, it is now launching the CCRI mentoring program.

Thanks to its multidisciplinary consortium which involves 12 different partners from six EU countries, the project will act as the Knowledge Hub of the CCRI through the implementation of an accessible platform to collect any relevant knowledge in a user-friendly way, by raising awareness of the importance of circular economy and by providing tailored mentoring pathways to European cities and regions 


CCRI Mentoring Programme


The programme will start with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of their current circular transition readiness. Based on this assessment, the CCRI team will co-design – together with stakeholders from each city or region – highly-tailored support pathways so that the assistance provided well meets beneficiaries’ needs and takes into consideration the specificities of their local context. 

The support pathways serve as a structured guide, developed in collaboration with local and regional stakeholders, to help cities and regions advance towards circularity. They are based on the needs identified during the initial assessment and will include tailored workshops, expert mentoring sessions on specific topics, and access to comprehensive materials such as guides, manuals, and other resources.

If you:

  • are just at the beginning of your circular economy journey and need structured support
  • are dedicated to advancing circularity but require guidance on planning and implementing the transition
  • qant to expand your knowledge of Circular Economy practices and strategies

Then this opportunity is perfect for you!
