Recently, Active Citizenship Network has consolidated its network by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the French consumer association Indecosa CGT. Indecosa’s mission is to ensure and develop the protection, training, information and defense of consumers and to follow the implementation of consumer actions with social and environmental values.
Active Citizenship Network has signed an agreement also with Eco Club UNWE, established in 2012 by the Student Council at UNWE. The club is a democratic association of students studying or graduating from one of the programs of the University of National and World Economy (UNWE). The main goals of the Club concern environmental protection and sustainable development.
The key aim of the University of National and World Economy (UNWE) in the field of Research & Innovations is to elaborate new solutions to economic, social, and ecological problems and to promote economic growth and society’s involvement at the local, regional, and European level.
The European mHealth Innovation and Knowledge Hub, funded by the European Commission, was established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Regional Ministry of Health of Andalusia (Spain), along with other 17 European partners. Its aim is to collect and share national experiences on mHealth and to support the integration of mHealth programmes and services into the various national and regional health systems. Part of the work was to develop a set of knowledge toolkits to provide advice/guidance on large-scale implementation of mHealth services and interventions.

Cittadinanzattiva is proud to be part of a new large European partnership to give life to the project NIGHTINGALE Novel InteGrated toolkit for enhanced pre-Hospital life support and Triage In ChallenGing And Large Emergencies, funded by H2020 HorizonEU Research & Innovation Programme.
NIGHTINGALE will develop and validate an innovative set of integrated tools for the response to large Medical Emergencies: a multi-technological toolkit that networks the different actors involved in the emergency management, and that serves emergency physicians and non-medical civil protection agencies (firefighters, police, but also volunteers and citizens). The goal is to ensure a substantial improvement to pre-hospital life support and triage. The tools developed will allow a shared response between emergency medical services, non-medical civil protection personnel, volunteers and citizens by increasing their "field of vision", information sharing and communication between teams and with victims.
On the occasion of the two-day event of the H2020 EU-funded project ENGAGE-Engage Society for Risk Awareness and Resilience, which took place on 8-9 November 2021 in Rome, EENA (European Emergency Number Association) - partner of the project - has awarded Cittadinanzattiva with EENA’s medal of honor for Distinguished Service during COVID-19. The ASL Roma1, the Red Cross of Trondheim and Ertzaintza of the Basque Government were also awarded, recognizing the effort and sacrifice of all who have faced the pandemic to protect collective health and well-being.
A new report published by the International Longevity Centre (ILC) UK this week finds that older people’s contributions are significant, and growing. Key findings include:
- In Italy, people aged 50 and over already account for more than 1 in 3 workers (35% of the workforce) – this could rise to 59% by 2035.
- Older households (headed by people aged 50+) spend over 6 in 10 euros in the Italian economy, making up 30% of GDP in 2015.
In order to contribute to the Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE), the Interdepartmental University Centre for Research on European Affairs (CREAF), in collaboration with Agenda Geopolitica of the Ducci Foundation and Movimento Europeo in Italy, has announced a competition addressed to all university students of Italian universities. The aim is to stimulate proposals, ideas and contents to be submitted to the Conference and to the transnational panels of citizens, both through the multilingual digital platform futureu.europa.eu and in the framework of initiatives on the national territory.
