Webinar | 9:00 a.m. Cardiff | 10:00 a.m. Paris | 12:00 p.m. Sharjah | 4:00 p.m. Cockburn
City representatives from Cardiff (United Kingdom), Sharjah (United Arab Emirates), and Cockburn (Australia) discuss child rights at the local level; participation of older people in community life; healthy and active aging; integration of age-related equity goals into urban planning; and more.
Overview
Inequities of all kinds often find their most pronounced and visible expression in cities. In response to this, a growing number of municipal administrations are combining local participatory action with national and international knowledge exchange, thus becoming laboratories for impactful and sustainable social solutions.
This series aims to bring together the representatives of cities that have implemented some of the most impactful and sustainable social actions.
Events will take place as webinars beginning in February 2024 and will cover the local challenges and solutions regarding social justice, gender, inclusion, and age. Each webinar will see the participation of representatives of three cities from different continents.
This series celebrates the leadership of cities and provides inspiration for the thousands of cities and local governments around the world committed to shaping an equitable future for all urban residents.
