The purpose of the survey is to gather input to further improve the platforms.

The survey aims to collect feedback on the platforms' content, functionalities, and dissemination, as well as whether they meet the needs of users and knowledge providers. The European Environment Agency and the DG CLIMA would like to invite you to complete this short online questionnaire to help them achieve this goal.

The survey will close on the 3rd of May 2024 at 18:00 CET.

The Municipality of Onda boasts a wealth of experience in organizing various training programs focused on sustainability, recycling, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These initiatives have not only enhanced environmental awareness within the community but have also contributed significantly to the ongoing efforts towards achieving sustainable development.

Furthermore, in the heritage area, Onda has dedicated considerable resources to the restoration and enhancement of our city's iconic Castle, which stands as one of the largest in the province, showing the municipality's commitment to preserving cultural heritage while promoting tourism and economic growth in the region.

Given the experience in sustainability initiatives, coupled with the ongoing cultural heritage preservation efforts, the Municipality of Onda would be interested in becoming a valuable partner in a wide range of European projects calls such as Creative Europe, Erasmus+, etc.

If you believe that Onda's Municipality profile aligns with your project's objectives, we would be delighted to provide further information and discuss potential collaboration possibilities in more detail. Please feel free to contact us (maria@fue.uji.es) and we will share with you our Project Information Form (PIF).

Climate change has a significant impact on the water cycle. It can cause flooding, water scarcity, and changes in water quality, which all pose a threat to human health. However, there are available solutions that can prevent and reduce these health hazards.

On 15 May, the European Environment Agency (EEA) will launch a new report titled "Responding to climate change impacts on human health in Europe: focus on floods, droughts and water quality" This report, produced by the EEA under the European Climate and Health Observatory initiative, is aimed at helping policymakers understand how floods, droughts, and worsened water quality, under a changing climate, can affect human health and well-being.

Europa Nostra, the largest European network of heritage organisations, Tășuleasa Social and Asociația Monumentum, both winners of the European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards, will organise the second edition of the European Heritage Youth Residencies from 27 June until 3 July 2024 in Romania. 

Around 15 young heritage stakeholders will be selected to come together and discuss heritage and sustainable tourism. Participants will partake in hiking and other hands-on heritage activities, and will collaborate on lasting resources for other heritage professionals and students.

The European Heritage Youth Residency 2024 is an opportunity for students, professionals and heritage stakeholders to see first-hand how heritage policies and projects around sustainable tourism have been successfully implemented. This includes the Via Transilvanica, a 1,400 km hiking trail offering a journey through Romanian heritage, and the Ambulance for Monuments, an innovative programme to carry out emergency repairs on heritage buildings in Romania.

The programme is designed for 18-35 year old students, professionals and stakeholders with an affinity for heritage and sustainable tourism.

The programme seeks to initiate new formats of cross-sectoral cooperation, fostering projects of co-creation and collaborative plans. The peer-learning methodology of the programme is designed to stimulate interaction, collaborative learning and solution-building in a cooperative and friendly expert environment. Participants will be expected to present their experiences working within sustainable tourism. This includes sharing successful local policies and projects, as well as their top tips, pitfalls and learnings. The selected participants will also get helpful information and ideas for improving or initiating their local projects or ideas on how they might transfer some of the presented practices to their localities.

The programme will include meetings with local stakeholders, site visits, hikes, restoration and solution-building workshops.
