Sharing good examples and ideas

Vilnius City Municipality Administration is actively working together with Vilnius URBACT Local Group while preparing for the next steps of ACCESS project implementation as part of Vilnius Roadmap for the Integrated Action Plan.

Working sessions that took place in March-June 2021 were dedicated towards a better understanding of peripheral communities in the city of Vilnius. During the virtual meetings and creative workshops Vilnius UGL members, external experts, community leaders discussed about the added value of the community involvement in cultural activities, participants shared good practice examples and ideas, discussed the guidelines of Vilnius Roadmap for the Integrated Action Plan. Discussions helped to summarize the specifics of local communities within Vilnius city:

  • Each district, just like its community, has a distinctive character that is shaped by historical circumstances,
  • More active communities usually have a place for gathering (library, cultural centre, public space, etc.) and opportunities to socialize,
  • Majority of UGL members see their work with communities as integrated element of their daily activities. 

            Knowledge gained during the implementation of Project „ACCESS to Culture for all Citizens“ is used to improve Vilnius strategic documentation, while paying close attention to ensuring equal access to cultural activities for different societal groups and increasing the variety of cultural offerings in different districts of the city.

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.
