In the occasion of the EU Flu Day 2021, the Steering Group on Influenza Vaccination, of which Active Citizenship is a part of, has realized a Joint Statement on the importance of healthcare professionals’ (HCP) vaccination with the aim to highlight the importance of strengthened efforts at the EU level to ensure healthcare professionals across Europe are protected in the very unpredictable influenza season ahead. Increasing coverage rates among HCPs will not only benefit individuals, but also wider society, by shielding vulnerable populations and helping to ease pressure on already overstretched healthcare systems.
On the occasion of the Flu Awareness Week - and its Annual Meeting - the Coalition for Vaccination, with which Active Citizenship Network is an associated organisation, has launched a social media campaign to recommend getting vaccinated against influenza also this year! Read the statement on the Coalition website.

Cittadinanzattiva’s most recent project on sustainable mobility, promoted in conjunction with the Unipolis Foundation, is the fruit of the work of 2,000 students from 57 Italian schools which imagines and sketches out the possible ways in which mobility and the communities of the future will work. The proposals include apps that reward people who use eco-friendly means of transport; sustainable, integrated areas in towns where cars and bikes can be recharged; benches with solar panels; smog-eating buses; and sensors that can reveal whether drivers have taken alcohol or drugs. Ten groups representing ten secondary schools from across Italy presented and delivered the first sustainable mobility Manifesto by Italian schools to Enrico Giovannini, Minister of Sustainable Infrastructures and Mobility, last September in Rome, in the framework of the Annual European Mobility Week, of which Cittadinanzattiva, through its EU branch Active Citizenship Network, is an associated partner since many years.

As the first year of the NUDGE Project ends, the first phase of data collection on consumers’ behaviors regarding energy is ending, while the second phase begins. This year the NUDGE consortium will carry out five field trials to experiment with a broad set of behavioral interventions in scenarios with high potential for energy savings, targeting consumers from Greece, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, and Croatia. Pilot projects will target European consumers coming from different environments (residential, energy communities, schools), different age groups (children included), different income classes, and being served by different energy carriers.

The Bulgarian Association of Patients with Cardiovascular Disease works on increasing the active participation of patients in public debates and dialogue with the institutions in relation to prevention and treatment of the cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Active Citizenship Network, over the last 15 years, has also been increasing its contribution for the prevention of CVDs. The collaboration between the two was announced as a follow up of the Active Citizenship Network’s event “Promoting civic information to better address the collateral damage of COVID-19 on cardiovascular disease across Europe”, to which the Bulgarian association has also participated in the panel. The two associations, in this regard, aim at supporting each other’s initiatives in the areas of common interest related to the promotion of public health, with a particular focus on raising awareness about prevention on CVDs.
The Bulgarian Patients' Organizations “With You” has the aim of strengthening citizen participation in the management and control of the healthcare system. Active Citizenship Network and Patients' Organizations With You will support each other with the aim to encourage citizen participation in European public policies, activities, and dialogues as a key step towards a more inclusive Europe.
