The Role of Local Governments in Disaster Resilience and Civic Participation Workshop
Workshop | 15 August
The Role of Local Governments and Civil Engagement in Disaster Resilience Workshop will be conducted by the Citizenship Association in partnership with the Kırklareli City Council, Istanbul City Council, and the Women's Council of the Edirne City Council. Focused on the themes of resilient cities, local democracy, and participation in the face of disasters, this workshop aims to examine, track, and encourage civil society contributions to the disaster resilience efforts of provincial, district, and municipal governments in the cities surrounding the Marmara Sea. The workshop is part of the "Citizen's Word for Disaster Resilience" project, conducted by the Citizenship Association in partnership with PAX for Peace, a civil society organization based in the Netherlands, and with the support of the MATRA Fund of the Royal Netherlands Embassy, which has been conducting peace work based in the Netherlands throughout 2023.
During this third field workshop, which will take place in Kırklareli, participants will collaboratively review the strategic plans of regional municipalities in the context of disaster resilience and discuss the extent to which disaster resilience efforts are included in the activity reports.
