Opportunities
Signatories of the Venice Declaration are entitled to actively participate in the various activities oriented to develop family-friendly territories. The capacity-building of urban high-level representatives, urban development technicians and academic partners is the best strategy to consolidate the Project for the future.
Observance of the World Cities Day - October
Opportunity for the High-Level representatives of the Venice Declaration Signatories to pledge support and engage with the UN System. Participants are high-level representatives of the Venice Declaration that share progress in family-friendly policies in their territories and welcome the recent Signatories. The outcome of World Cities Day includes policy recommendations to better engage with the UNSystem, to better achieve the goals of the Urban Agenda and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Annual Technical Meeting - April/May
Opportunity for the Venice Declaration Signatories to present good practices and policy development according to their competencies to support the family unit in their territories. Participants are urban area technicians who design, implement and evaluate policies with a family perspective as an effective way to better achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and follow up on the Urban Agenda. The outcome of the Annual Technical Meeting includes policy recommendations and highlights good practices for all the Venice Declaration Signatories. It is also a key capacity-building instrument to make progress on the Inclusive Cities for Sustainable Families Project.
