9th Mesopartner Summer Academy on Mesopartner cordially invites you to their 9th Summer Academy in Berlin (see below: "announcement video of 2012") that will be held from 1 to 5 July 2013. After holding the Academy for seven years in Duisburg (2005-2011), it was decided last year to move the event to Berlin, a city at the heart of continental Europe. For Mesopartner, Berlin is an especially exciting city, because it can be seen as a laboratory of complex economic and social polarities and provides a wide range of experiences of how to manage and overcome these polarities.

Green Jobs Learning Forum: Local Strategies and Actions Green Jobs and the promotion of the Green Economy have become the key drivers for achieving an economic and social development that is also sustainable. Green Jobs can be created in all sectors and types of enterprises, in urban and rural areas, in all countries at all levels of economic development. At the same time, greening the economy can generate consistent and positive outcomes for increased wealth, growth in economic output, decent employment and reduced poverty. Achieving this double dividend, in terms of both environmental and social goals, requires the commitment of policy makers and the active support of enterprises, entrepreneurs and workers. If on the one hand, a coherent mix of policy responses is needed at the national level, local implementation strategies are equally important in the promotion of a wide range of innovative solutions and job opportunities. Given the growing demand for support to address the effects of climate change, local development strategies are more and more incorporating the green jobs dimension. Policy makers and local practitioners need therefore to make the appropriate links and seek synergies for better results. At its 2nd edition, this interagency Learning Forum will propose a special focus on how to promote private sector development and contributions to green growth and environmental sustainability, through the analysis of case studies and initiatives that enhance local development while responding to the demand for new markets, new products and new production methods.

Conclusions sur les compétences en vue de stimuler la productivité, la croissance de l’emploi et le développement Conférence internationale du Travail, 2008 Investir dans l’éducation et les compétences pour les femmes et les hommes afin d’aider les économies à parvenir à une croissance dynamique tournée vers des emplois de qualité constitue une priorité pressante partout dans le monde. Lors de la Conférence internationale du Travail de 2008, les mandants tripartites de l’OIT (gouvernements, employeurs et travailleurs) ont adopté une série de conclusions uniquement centrées sur ce problème. Elles fournissent des directives pratiques en vue de renforcer l’éducation, la formation professionnelle et la formation tout au long de la vie, qui constituent les piliers essentiels de l’employabilité des travailleurs et du développement durable des entreprises dans le cadre de l’Agenda du travail décent. Les conclusions soulignent à quel point le développement des compétences peut être un puissant instrument pour faire reculer la pauvreté et l’exclusion, et améliorer la compétitivité et l’employabilité.

Proceedings of the Workshop: State of the Art of Local Governance - Challenges for the Next Decade The proceedings are the result of a workshop held in Visby, Sweden, 29-30 April 2010 which succeeded in gathering some of the most distinguished scholars and policymakers in the field of local governance to discuss the State of the Art of Local Governance – Challenges for the Next Decade. The purpose of the workshop was twofold: firstly, it was designed to sum up findings and insights gained in recent decades through experiments with local democracy, and secondly, it aimed to consider what the key challenges and crucial policy issues will be in the coming decade. In the on-going process of establishing the ICLD, our ambition has been to provide a forum in which the gap between research, policy and practical experiences from the field may be addressed. This workshop is therefore intended to be the first of a series and the next international event (Phnom Penh, Cambodia) is planned for the spring of 2011. The full papers from the workshop are published in the ICLD working paper series and can be downloaded from the ICLD web site.2011 Number of comments: 0
