Du 11 au 15 février 2019, CGLU accueillera pour la cinquième édition consécutive, la prochaine édition de son séminaire annuel à Barcelone, lieu où se trouve le Secrétariat Mondial de l'organisation.
Ce Séminaire 2019 permettra de mettre à profit la force de notre réseau et de poursuivre un travail collaboratif qui s’appuie sur les résultats obtenus ces dernières années, tout en augmentant la visibilité et l'impact de notre travail à tous les niveaux.
Qu'est-ce que le Séminaire de CGLU ?
Le Séminaire annuel de CGLU est un rassemblement d’une semaine, qui fournit l’opportunité aux acteurs clés de l’organisation et à ses partenaires de définir des synergies et développer des actions, en ligne avec les plans de travail établis par les instances statutaires.
Le Séminaire annuel offre en outre aux participants l’occasion de renforcer les liens entre les différentes parties prenantes de l’écosystème de CGLU, en impliquant notamment les représentants politiques et techniques, et de se réunir en tant que réseau pour réfléchir à nos priorités de l’année à venir.
Depuis sa création il y a cinq ans, le Séminaire annuel de CGLU est devenu un rassemblement mondial, que les participants ont eux-mêmes défini comme « le DAVOS de l’action locale », faisant montre de la bonne santé du Séminaire, de la volonté des participants de s’y impliquer, et de son utilité pour le réseau élargi de CGLU.
