EDLS Charter

Do you want your city or region to be counted among the supporters of the EDLS campaign?

 

PLATFORMA launched the Charter of the European Days of Local Solidarity in 2016. It is a political document, presenting the principles and values sustaining cities’ and regions’ engagement in decentralised cooperation. This Charter encourages local and regional governments to make a public commitment to solidarity. This Charter also calls on cities and regions to inform their citizens about decentralised cooperation and their cities’ or regions’ commitments for a more sustainable and equal world.

 

Elected representatives at local and regional level across Europe can commit to the EDLS Charter by signing it online (see below). Speak about the EDLS to your local and regional officials!
