LAP Chemnitz presents itself at conference in Utrecht
Art and culture projects supported by the Local Action Plan for Democracy, Tolerance and a Cosmopolitan Chemnitz (LAP) will be presented at an international conference on "Human Rights in the City" in Utrecht on Thursday.
Chemnitz and Utrecht have been working together for several years in the European city network EUROCITIES on the topics of civic participation and human rights. In 2012, a representative of the city of Utrecht presented civic participation initiatives from her city on the occasion of the European Neighbourhood Day on the Sonnenberg.
The City of Chemnitz has now also honoured the successful work in Chemnitz by inviting it to the conference. The EU Coordinator of the City of Chemnitz will present the citizens' initiative Aktion C, among other things, and at the same time have the opportunity to exchange experiences with other European cities. One aim of both cities is to organise the European Week of Local Democracy.
