The Tuscany Region, in collaboration with the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) and the European Commission, and with the support of ANCI Toscana, UPI Toscana, AICREE, and the main European networks active in the region, is promoting the first regional meeting to illustrate the opportunities offered by the European network of local and regional elected representatives – EU Local Councillors – and related initiatives in Tuscany.
Current EU Local Councillors working in Tuscany are invited to attend, as are local and regional elected representatives interested in learning about the initiative and considering joining.
The event is linked to the "The Opening Ceremony of the EUI 50th anniversary", taking place in Florence on 7th of May 2026 and to the EU Schuman Day.
This EU Local Dialogue is organised by the CoR member Mr. Luca Menesini, Provincial Councillor of Lucca and President of the PES group at the CoR.
The event will include a presentation of the European Creative Europe Programme – CERV – Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values, with a focus on the calls for proposals for "twinning and city networks."
The objective of this event is to launch a network/platform of EU local and regional councillors, with a specific focus on Cultural and Creative Europe Activities: it is a unique chance to promote the EU Local Councillors network in Tuscany, also thanked to the presence of CoR Members. It provides a great chance to foster democratic dialogue, and strengthen the bridge between EU institutions, CoR, Local administrators.
