Dear ACCESS partners, dear friends,

Summer is upon us, what a year it has been! Even though Corona has not left us as anticipated, we did do some great work on making our cities a little bit better and more inclusive! 

“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy”

Although bound to our homes, we still visited some great cities! We visited Lisbon and the Muro festival and walked through the alleys of Santa Clara, and enjoyed delicious food that they prepared for us. We made flower crowns and sang in Riga with the lovely Ints who spoke with so much passion about Rigan culture. We were made a bit more rebellious in Tallinn where we learned to really engage with the community and give them the keys to the museum.

In between we put together our ULGs, carefully selected with members from all over our cities, with different skills and backgrounds. We designed SSAs as best we could while meeting everybody online. We tried to stay connected with the city and with each other, via buddy meetings and workstreams.

We hope all of you have the loveliest summer; rest, read, cook, dine, be with friends and family! We see each other in September and then we will rocket towards our SSA and IAP!

Best,

Rebekah (Lead Expert) and Corynne (Lead Partner)

ACCESS End Event

From 1 till 3 June we will showcase, reflect and celebrate the work we have been done during our ACCESS project on our final ACCESS End event in Amsterdam. It’s been a long time since we all saw each other in Dublin (February 2020), we are excited to see everyone again! Our partners will have the chance to present the outlines of their ACCESS work and tell us more about the way they will adapt their ACCESS work in their daily practice. Key core members and some of their local network members will be present during those days and some of URBACT’s representatives. Each day we will visit one of Amsterdam’s focus areas, so we can experience some culture and ACCESS work along the way. Here are some facts about the Amsterdam focus area’s that we will be visiting during our ACCESS End Event.
