Friday 12 and Saturday 13 at Casa Cava in Matera, Rione Sassi, the refresher and training seminar on the topic will be held starting at 9.00:
"Smart City and Smart Community from a gender perspective in governance activity: from legislation to administrative and social action"
The initiative was organized and promoted by the Regional Equality Councilor of Basilicata Maria Anna Fanelli whom we thank here for involving us as the Association of the General States of Innovation and the Wister Network.
The Training and Refresher Seminars aim to help develop, precisely because in times of crisis, a "governance" for "Smart Cities and Territories" through innovative processes which, starting from the possession of local values, knowledge and traditions, at the same time favor the development of skills and competences for the transfer, planning and implementation of interventions and innovative policies in the field of gender Equal Opportunities.
Institutional and non-institutional, public and private subjects have been invited to participate who identify among their priority commitments the need for "specialist gender actions on the territories" also through the strengthening of institutional and social paths which, with the help of technologies, information and communication (ICT), will have to be increasingly participatory.
The goal is to face the challenges of globalization by encouraging innovation, creativity and competitiveness of the regional economic system.
The new communication technologies have in fact become the force and pivot of social changes also in the redistribution of work and socio-family loads and commitments.
All through the network multiplies the potential of the intelligences involved and increases the effectiveness of the administrative action and of the activity of private realities, including those of an associative nature.
For this reason, the organizational dynamics and procedures of public and private realities to create smart cities/communities must always be rethought to improve the quality of information and training processes to facilitate the involvement and participation of all citizens, including through social media and innovative communication technologies using specific lines of action.
The actions to be put in place to achieve multiple but interconnected objectives which concern not only the formulation of a "vision", but also the definition of operational models and tools, together with the construction of research and innovation initiatives, relating to various themes are multiple and concern:
Inclusion and Participation. “A smart city/community is a city that involves women and men in governance decision-making processes, which informs and consults them, giving them the opportunity to express opinions and thus to feel active in the community in which they live”.
Knowledge and Monitoring of the territory. An intelligent city/community has knowledge of its territory, identifies its economic, social and environmental priorities and builds projects and initiatives on these.
Quality and cost of services. An intelligent city/community sees technologies as an opportunity to create more effective services for residents, businesses, women and men who live in the area.
Entrepreneurship and social innovation. An intelligent city/community must be able to seize the opportunities of information and communication technologies (ICT), to allow the birth of new innovative businesses closely linked to the territory. It develops female entrepreneurship aimed at solving fundamental issues for the area "such as the creation of innovative services for residents, the improvement of urban decorum and attractiveness, energy efficiency and respect for the environment, or the creation of new ways to offer assistance to segments of the population in difficulty".
Identity, culture and know-how. The intelligent city/community also uses technologies to "enhance its specific identity, renew without eliminating its cultural traditions and artistic and natural heritage, to relaunch its oldest know-how and build new ones".
For the adviser Maria Anna Fanelli “the smart city/community must produce new women's organization policies that favor women in career paths in companies and that facilitate, through new technologies, the quality of life and promote work and family well-being. All through virtuous paths of behavior in companies and among people against discriminatory policies".
During the work will also doutlined the Digital Agenda that the Basilicata Region is building through the Task Force in charge and in this regard, the Office of the Equality Councilor Fanelli will ask "that the elements for technological innovation and the infrastructures and online services of the cities be favored in terms of gender so that the Digital Agenda is a gender agenda".
During the works, qualified study interventions by experts and institutional representatives and managers will be offered, also involved at various levels for the planning of future positive actions for city/community life managed from a gender perspective.
