The participation process put in place in Palermo within the European project WE all count Europe is almost completed.

Exploiting the advantages offered by the net, WE all count Europe has favoured the sharing of ideas, the active involvement of citizens in public affairs and the co-resolution of the local problems.

The end of the second round of workshops and debates coincides with an opportunity for meeting and exchanging between local politicians and young people interested in improving Palermo.

During the meeting, we will discuss the proposals published over the past months on Kuorum and to propose ideas to improve and support the proposals. Theresa Küntzler will attend the meeting  – she is the Coordinator of the project and PhD from the University of Constance (Germany) Department of Public Policy and Administration – together with the local politicians who have joined the initiative.

Open debates

Culture, education, tourism, social inclusion are some of the topics addressed by the proposals published on Kuorum by the association PUSH.,Tonino Russo and Francesco Bertolino – two politicians who have joined the initiative.

Tonino Russo‘s proposal –  La conoscenza come forma di liberazione –  draws attention to the services and skills gap in education field in southern Italy and to the need to strengthen the educational offer of schools, especially primary and secondary, by equipping the school system for the full time and prolonged time.

Francesco Bertolino re-launches his  Le vie della memoria project aimed to enhance the memory of the places. Through a QR Code and using smartphones, people can access the biographical-historical information of key figures to which the sites are titled. The information is written by the students of the schools involved.

PUSH.’s proposals are the results of the Roundtables organized within the Urban Thinkers Campus, organised  the last April in Palermo. These are ideas elaborated by citizens, professionals, students, representatives of the third sector and are all aimed at improving the cultural and artistic heritage, public spaces and community life in Palermo.

Here are their proposals:

• Palermo teaser
• Arabo Normanno Accessibile
• Il racconto dei mercati
• Orti didattici
• Alla ricerca dell’orto perduto
• Palermo smart working network
• La scialata di borgata
• Destruction agency
• Children Wall
