"What is the heart of a city ? The soul of a city? (...) How do we know a city ? How do you know your city ? " is wondering the writer and essayist Georges Perec. City dwellers certainly experience that : the city narrates our dreams, our desires, our sorrows, our daily joys. The city is made of emotions and sounds that tell us how to live together…
If you are 15-22 years old,
- You are then invited to tell us about your city’s sounds, emotions and images and all this in one minute’s time : this is the challenge that we now offer to you, the youngsters of Athens. With only one constraint, to use your mobile phone to tell us about your city and its sounds from the most positive to the most negative ones…

MARINESCAPE FORUM PIRAEUS

SDMED participates in the MARINESCAPE FORUM PIRAEUS.
Please download the Agenda of the MARINESCAPE FORUM PIRAEUS here !
AIM
Continuing the successful initiative of the Marinescape Forum last May (16‐18.05.2014) in Bremen, Germany, this year’s Forum in Piraeus intends to focus on Mediterranean coastal landscapes and marinescapes.
The aim is to bring together a number of regional and national, civil and institutional stake‐ holders from Europe and the Mediterranean in order to open a dialogue towards solutions that could mitigate the current threats and highlight challenges to coastal landscapes and marinescapes of the Basin.
The discussions will be held through the prism of landscape governance as a means of incor‐ porating civil society in a meaningful and productive way in all decision making processes. This will lead to the development of a Blue Growth Strategy with a sustainable footing, tak‐ ing into account issues of cultural heritage and natural resources management and local so‐ cieties’ needs and aspirations. For these reasons the presentations and discussions will high‐ light the importance of public participation and explore ways for the development of strong community building across the Mediterranean Basin. In order to ensure a sustainable man‐ agement and planning for Mediterranean Marinescapes, there is an urgent need for under‐ standing of the character of coastal landscapes and marinescapes as well as for a common agreement on marinescape quality objectives.
The Forum is expected to conclude with the Piraeus Statement on Mediterranean Marinescapes which will set out the needs and the principles for sustainable management and planning of Mediterranean Marinescapes, coastal landscapes and islandscapes, and will consider the establishment of a Mediterranean Marinescapes Observatory.

CISD : Natural Resources and Small Islands

Το Παρατηρητήριο Πολιτών για την Αειφόρο Ανάπτυξη (CISD) και το Ελληνικό Δίκτυο Μικρών Νησιών (ΕΔΜΝ), στο πλαίσιο των δράσεών τους που αφορούν στη διαχείριση κρίσιμων ζητημάτων Οικονομίας, Περιβάλλοντος και Κοινωνίας με βάση τις αρχές της Αειφόρου Ανάπτυξης, διοργανώνουν Ημερίδα με θέμα «Μικρά Νησιά και Φυσικοί Πόροι», την Τετάρτη, 29 Απριλίου 2015.
Σκοπός της Ημερίδας είναι η ανάδειξη της ποικιλίας και πολυμορφίας του Φυσικού Πλούτου των Μικρών Νησιών, ως κύριο παραγωγικό και αναπτυξιακό πόρο, αλλά και της ανάγκης περαιτέρω προστασίας του με ταυτόχρονη αξιοποίηση από τους ίδιους τους νησιώτες, στο πνεύμα της Αειφόρου Ανάπτυξης, αποκαθιστώντας διαχρονικά στρεβλές πρακτικές και αγκυλώσεις της Διοίκησης.
Η συνάντηση φιλοδοξεί να καταλήξει σε σύνθεση ενός συγκροτημένου επιχειρησιακού σχεδίου το οποίο θα τεθεί υπόψη σε όλα τα επίπεδα της Διοίκησης για προβληματισμό και περαιτέρω αξιοποίηση αλλά και θα κοινοποιηθεί στους νησιώτες για την ενημέρωση και ευαισθητοποίηση τους. Το αντικείμενο αν και αφορά στο σύνολο του νησιωτικού χώρου, επικεντρώνεται εν προκειμένω στα Μικρά Νησιά που έχουν απόλυτη προτεραιότητα, καθώς διαχρονικά έχουν τεθεί στο περιθώριο του ενδιαφέροντος της Πολιτείας παρά τον κρίσιμο Εθνικό ρόλο τους, την έμμεση αλλά τεράστια συμβολή τους στη διαμόρφωση του τουριστικού «μύθου» της χώρας, την άμεση δυνατότητα αειφορικής ανάπτυξης σύμφωνα με τις Οδηγίες της ΕΕ.
Η πραγμάτευση του αντικειμένου δεν θα περιορισθεί στις εισηγητικές ομιλίες εξειδικευμένων επιστημόνων αλλά προσβλέπει στην ενεργό συμμετοχή των προσκεκλημένων Κυβερνητικών και κυρίως των Περιφερειαρχών και Δημάρχων.
Η Ελληνο-γαλλική και διεθνής Ενωση SDMed και η Διεθνής Εταιρεία Αειφορικής αστικής Ανάπτυξης και Οικοκαινοτομίας ( SDMed Observation Planning and Eco-innovation) στηρίζουν αυτή την εξαιρετική πρωτοβουλία, στο πλαίσιο και του Μνημονίου Συνεργασίας μεταξύ CISD, SDMed και ΕΚΕΠΕΚ Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου.
