European Days of Local Solidarity - Join the movement

Do you want to increase the impact and visibility of your public events, thematic conferences, workshops, art exhibitions and exchanges about local-international cooperation for sustainable development?

Do you work with a city or region that 

1. strengthens citizens’ knowledge on global sustainable development issues?
2. supports development education and active citizenship initiatives? OR
3. promotes political engagement at the national, European and global scale in favour of sustainable development?

Sign up and organise an activity with pan-European support. The European Days of Local Solidarity (EDLS) call European cities and regions to raise their citizens’ awareness on the challenges of global sustainable development and on the need to take action.

An EDLS activity is:

• (Co-)organised by a European town or region, or by an association of local and regional governments
• An opportunity for citizens, local or regional elected or officials, CSOs and other local players to learn, exchange, discuss and celebrate
• Focused on European cities and regions’ contribution to global sustainable development, with particular attention to their international cooperation and city-to-city partnerships. 

In the 2024 edition, over 50 municipalities, regions and provinces organised 200 events. 

Boost your initiative and strengthen its key messages:  

• Use the EDLS campaign toolkit - for free! Or add the EDLS logo to your own material 

Your activity wil then be promoted through the EDLS website (localsolidaritydays.eu) and social media campaigns (#localsolidaritydays).
