Welcome..
... Dear fellow Mayors!
We know that times are tough. Whether you are struggling to support your community, tackle unemployment, stimulate the creation of small businesses, deliver services and manage projects on limited resources to tackle the UN's SDGs, we want to help you!
Which is why we bring you a collection of world-class practical short courses from Mayors and organisations from all over the world that share what they are doing to tackle the challenges that communities face.
Around the world there are over 10 million towns, 4.560 of which with a population of over 150.000. This initiative is to help more Mayors connect with each other, share ideas and best practices and find practical approaches to solving some of the trickiest challenges.
The courses are designed to help you in a practical, hands-on way and are not intended to be a strict guide to doing something but rather as a way to find inspiration of how other cities are approaching the SDGs and hopefully adapt them for your particular circumstances.
All courses are free! The best gift you can give yourself is to invest in yourself, your team and in the process benefit your community. Because education & attitude create opportunity!
Yours
Marlene van Staden
