ENGAGE is a bold EU-funded project whose mission is to provide novel knowledge, impactful solutions and emergency response guidelines for exploiting Europe ´s societal resilience. Solutions will aim at bridging the gap between formal and informal approaches to risk and emergency management, increasing the ability of communities to adapt before, during and after disaster. This project has received funding from European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement N° 882850.
The ENGAGE consortium brings together the expertise of 14 partners across 8 European countries, and Cittadinanzattiva is involved both at national level and, through its EU branch Active Citizenship Network, also at European level.
With this project Cittadinanzattiva confirms its commitment to making human settlements more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable and its interest in activities aimed at achieving the objectives of the 2030 Agenda. To be updated, please subscribe to the dedicated newsletter.
From the account of oncological and chronic patients during the pandemic, it emerged how they have been left almost alone for several months, a situation that jeopardized 20 years of prevention. Hence, Active Citizenship Network drafted a Manifesto with 10 recommendations – that has been already signed by 32 associations from 15 countries - addressed to the institutions to remark non-covid patients' unmet needs. Above all, encourage forms of monitoring as “Follow the Money” to monitor together the funds of Recovery Plans that each European country is receiving and engage European citizens to improve health systems. There isthe need to be heard because, as in any reconstruction, the involvement of a large number of active and aware social and civic actors is crucial.
The XV European Patients’ Rights Day has been celebrated with a virtual event by Active Citizenship Network with its traditional format of a big multi-stakeholder conference focused on the importance of the citizen organizations’ engagement and a multisectoral approach to take action on cross-border health threats, actual and future. The 2021 conference focused on showing and discussing examples of citizen’s engagement in health policies in this particular historical moment: a first day, dedicated to the health challenges faced by non-COVID patients and a second day, focused on the resilience of Healthcare Systems and the national immunization plans.

As part of the 15th European Patients’ Rights Day, Active Citizenship Network - the European branch of Cittadinanzattiva - collected in a video the opinions of some representatives of the institutions, civil society and the scientific community, with the aim of launching a concrete message to the decision makers who took part in the Global Health Summit, held in Rome on May 21st, during the Italian Presidency of the G20.
The Summit was an opportunity to share the lessons learned from the pandemic and to define a common commitment to building a healthier, safer and more sustainable world. Global leaders and high-level experts discussed how to improve health security, strengthen our health systems and strengthen Europe's capacity to deal with future crises in a spirit of solidarity. In this context, Active Citizenship Network has also published a Manifesto with 10 recommendations addressed to institutions and signed by 50 associations from 18 countries, to underline the unmet needs of non-Covid patients.
