The concept of #MaaR Mobility as a Right, will be strongly present across the project’s media presence and all its communication and dissemination activities. The representation of all segments of society is extremely important for the execution of UPPER’s vision of public transport as a mode of transport for everyone, ensuring public transport opens up economic, social, and political opportunities for citizens, increasing their quality of life. We're therefore happy to promote the European Capitals of Inclusion and Diversity Award, as it recognizes the work done by cities, towns, or regions in Europe to promote inclusion and create discrimination-free societies.

June is Pride Month, a global celebration of the history, resilience, and achievements of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Inclusion for everybody is something the UPPER project has been approaching comprehensively, also taking into account gender and sexuality and the resulting experiences of public transport. "The 'Mobility as a Right concept' is one of the pillars of the UPPER project. A strategic vision aiming at defining inclusive mobility where all citizens are taken into consideration, regardless of their capacities or their status in society. We truly believe cities must provide inclusive and safe public transport for all" – Francesco Iacorossi, UPPER’s Dissemination Task Leader and Project Coordinator at Eurocities Last year along with project partner POLIS Network we reflected on some of the recent progress, challenges remaining, and the need for open and honest dialogue. True to the spirit of Pride Month, Polis is again focusing on the barriers to queer-inclusive mobility, the best practices, and the importance of addressing the 'queer deficit' in mobility planning. We are happy to be part of it through this new campaign 'POLIS x Pride 2024: Safe by design' UPPER Living Lab Roma Capitale through its public transport operator ATAC SpA has also launched a local campaign to celebrate Pride month branding with the pride flag's colours on an entire train of the metro A line. The initiative will run until the end of the summer. Here at UPPER Project EU, you are free to love whoever you love and be whoever you truly are!

RAP Consultant | Aboriginal Community Engagement | Cultural Awareness Training | Host of Reconciliation Roadmap Podcast | 📍Ngemba Country
I've had this conversation time and time again about the importance of integrating cultural knowledge and lived experience into the strategic direction of our organisations. There's a significant gap when our voices are not heard, and our perspectives are not considered. If First Nations voices are not seen, listened to, or taken into account, how can you truly know what you are doing? Our unique insights are crucial for developing and implementing strategies that are inclusive and effective. Without our input, the impact of your decisions may not fully address the needs and realities of our communities. Representation goes beyond just having a seat at the table; it means actively listening and valuing the advice and experiences of First Nations people. This inclusion is essential for creating meaningful and lasting change. #CulturalKnowledge #LivedExperience #FirstNationsVoices #InclusiveLeadership #Reconciliation #StrategicDirection #RAPConsultant #PositiveChange #DiversityAndInclusion

On May 21, we celebrate German Diversity Day, and I want to take this opportunity to highlight the often-unseen efforts toward diversity and integration. The EITEP Euro Institute for Information and Technology Transfer in Environmental Protection believes that diversity and integration provide immense value to society. Especially in times of skilled labor shortages, it's essential to integrate every individual into our community. We have already demonstrated our commitment to this by signing the Diversity Charter (Charta der Vielfalt e.V.) some time ago. Our goal is to make participation in our professional events accessible to everyone. Therefore: 🌟 We accommodate physical limitations, for example, by ensuring step-free access and providing high-contrast, large texts. 🌟 We cater to needs that meet religious, cultural, and physical requirements. 🌟 We provide specialized rooms to meet various needs of participants. 🌟 We support participants even before their arrival, such as assisting with visa acquisition and ensuring our event websites and offers are consistently accessible. 🌟 We are open to addressing any concerns brought to our attention. If you have any questions about accessibility or specific needs, please feel free to contact us at any time. We strive to accommodate you as much as possible. Let's live and strengthen diversity together! #VoteForDiversity #GDD #DiversityDay2024 #Inclusion #DiversityInPipeline #GlobalWomenInPipeline #DiversityInPipeline #Accessibility #Integration #ptc2025 #ptcBerlin

On the #InternationalDayforTolerance, we're reminded that moving from dialogue to tangible action is challenging but crucial. At PCDN.global, we're committed to pushing past mere tolerance to achieve true equity and inclusion. It takes more than just talk; it demands hard work and deliberate change. 🌱 Here's how we can take that leap: Policy Reform: Push for policies that genuinely uphold equity. Structural Updates: Aim for organizational structures that ensure diversity at every level. Practice Inclusivity: Integrate inclusivity into our everyday actions. Equal Access: Guarantee everyone has the same opportunities. Educate: Dedicate ourselves to continual learning about diversity and inclusion. Today, let's pledge to these practical steps and ask ourselves, how will we each help drive this change? Let’s turn our talk into action. 🤝

🇪🇺 Celebrating Europe Day - 9 May 🇪🇺 Today, as we celebrate our journey towards cooperation, unity, and sustainable development, let's take a moment to reflect on what this day truly means. Europe Day, observed on May 5th by the Council of Europe and May 9th by the European Union, is a reminder of our shared history and the collaborative spirit that binds us together. Did you know that it all started with the 1950 Schuman Declaration, which laid the groundwork for the European Coal and Steel Community? That's why some fondly call it "Schuman Day" or "Day of the United Europe." 💡 But Europe Day isn't just about looking back; it's also about looking forward. And when it comes to the future, sustainable development is one of the core aspirations. The European Union has been leading the charge, aligning its policies with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda. From initiatives like Europe 2020 to the ambitious European Green Deal, the EU is committed to smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth.🎯 What does that mean in practical terms? It means tackling issues like poverty, hunger, gender equality, and climate change head-on. It means embracing clean energy, promoting innovation, and transitioning to a circular economy. And it means recognizing that these challenges are not limited to our borders but require global cooperation. 🌍 🌱 #EuropeDay #SustainableFuture

10 December 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of one of the world's most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This landmark document enshrines the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. The Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 and sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. Theme for 2023: Freedom, Equality and Justice for All! #PackagesGroup #Pakistan #Sustainability
