CEMR Joins ANMP’s 40th Anniversary Conference to Celebrate Local Democracy in Europe
The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) is proud to participate in the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the National Association of Portuguese Municipalities (ANMP). We extend a warm invitation to our member associations to join the international conference “Municipal Associativism and European Challenges: The Role of Cooperation between Local Authorities,” slated for May 20th in Coimbra, Portugal.
Just three weeks before the upcoming EU Elections, this event presents a unique platform for CEMR members to convene and advocate for Europe’s future. Together, we will delve into pre- and post-vote initiatives outlined in the CEMR Call to Action.
This conference is particularly significant as it aligns with Portugal’s 50th year of democracy. The ANMP anniversary is a significant moment for us to gather in Coimbra and reflect on this milestone while celebrating the resilience and impact of local democracy.
We strongly encourage all CEMR associations to take action by sharing this invitation with their respective members and registering for the event by May 6th through the provided link here.
Let’s unite in Coimbra to honour the legacy of ANMP, champion the cause of local democracy, and shape the future of Europe through our collaborative efforts.
