PLATFORMA - Local & regional international action

The European Days of Local Solidarity (EDLS) are a major event during which cities, regions and citizens from across the continent raise awareness on sustainable development and local projects promoting international solidarity. The Days bring to life the famous motto: “Think global, act local.”

EDLS 2020, the campaign’s fifth edition, will take place from 14 to 29 November 2020 in municipalities and regions all across Europe. During the EDLS, cities and regions can co-organise events to connect with and learn about other communities in the world and educate citizens on the interdependencies between our societies. From COVID to climate change, no nation or territory is big enough to face these global challenges alone.

CEMR and PLATFORMA encourage local and regional governments to participate and show that cities and regions are fearless spaces where change can happen and innovative solutions for global challenges take shape. No town or territory is too small to contribute: we can all pitch in!
