CIVINET Polska
CIVINET Polska is a local CIVITAS network bringing together public and private entities and non-governmental organizations operating in the field of urban transport and mobility at the national level, to promote and implement integrated strategies for sustainable urban mobility. CIVINET Polska is a kind of national ambassador of the European CIVITAS Program, which has been working for over 20 years to realize sustainable and intelligent urban mobility for all users.
Our Work
CIVINET Polska sets itself the following goals:
- Promotion of the results and approach developed by the CIVITAS Initiative in the field of integrated sustainable urban mobility activities among Polish cities, among society and other stakeholders in Poland.
- Extending the reach of the CIVITAS Initiative to cities that are not yet members, without the obstacles of language barriers.
- Emphasizing the role of dialogue and strengthening active communication between Polish cities, the European structures of the CIVITAS Initiative and the cities of the European CIVITAS Forum Network and the European Commission on the issue of sustainable urban mobility, taking into account local conditions.
And I plan to achieve them by implementing various activities, such as:
- Organization of events (seminars, workshops, symposia, study visits, conferences) aimed at disseminating the results of the CIVITAS Initiative, presenting its activities implemented in Poland or promoting best European practices, to support activities in the field of sustainable mobility and a broader exchange of experiences among local and other authorities stakeholders.
- Supporting the participation of network representatives in events organized by third parties to disseminate the results developed by Polish cities and by the CIVITAS Initiative, while promoting its further development.
- Preparing information materials (e.g. e-brochures) in Polish on the topic of sustainable urban mobility, for example to disseminate the results developed in projects implemented under the CIVITAS Initiative, as well as translating into Polish some of the materials made available by it.
- Cooperation with the Secretariat of the CIVITAS Initiative, its other structures (e.g. PAC or other local CIVINET networks) and with the European Commission, in order to promote synergies with other activities implemented in Europe under the CIVITAS Initiative, as well as in the creation and maintenance of a special subpage on its website, serving as a key tool for disseminating information about the Initiative and the activities of CIVINET Polska.
