The draft programme of the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR)'s General Assembly, to take place in Cádiz, Spain, from 26 to 28 September 2012, is now available.

It includes information on every session (leaders’ roundtables, workshops, plenary or parallel sessions), the themes of each debate, as well as the name and details of each speaker. The draft programme is currently available in English and French.

More interactive, dynamic and innovative, the General Assembly will be organised under the motto "Innovating in 3D: Decentralisation - Development - Democracy". The theme of innovationg will be broken down into specific themes of primary interest to municipalities, provinces and regions, such as the state of decentralisation in the world, crisis exit strategies, reshaping and modernising public services, dialogue and solidarity across the generations, integration of migrants, democracy and gender equality.

The General Assembly will be hosted by the City of Cádiz, in cooperation with CEMR's Spanish member association, the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP).
