The fourth technical meeting of the Venice Declaration Signatories project was scheduled to take place in person. Over the course of two days, representatives from the signatories presented the best practices achieved during the past year. A final set of conclusions and recommendations will be included in the annual monitoring report of Inclusive Cities for Sustainable Families.
After three years of the pandemic, families have demonstrated their central role in local development through various means. The 62 practices that have been presented so far have reaffirmed and solidified the importance of implementing the ten points outlined in the Venice Declaration.
The organizers would like to extend their gratitude to the hosts of this meeting for their valuable contribution, which greatly contributed to its success.
