  • From Amsterdam to Paris and Beyond: the Transport, Health and Environment Pan-European Programme (THE PEP) 2009–2020
    From Amsterdam to Paris and beyond: the Transport, Health and Environment Pan-European Programme (THE PEP) 2009–2020 a ABSTRACT This report encapsulates the past 12 years of progress made under the Transport, Health and Environment Pan-Eu- ropean Programme (THE PEP) since its launch in 2002. Administered jointly by the United Nations Economic Com- mission for Europe and the WHO Regional Office for Europe, THE PEP encourages transport policy-makers and ur- ban spatial planners to consider the environmental and health impacts of transport and mobility. Through a dynamic network of academics, experts and Member States of UNECE and WHO, THE PEP engages all three sectors on an equal footing in sharing best practices in sustainable and healthy transport and mobility, particularly in urban areas. The report underlines some of the achievements between the adoption of the Amsterdam Declaration in 2009 at the Third High-level Meeting on Transport, Health and Environment and the Fourth High-level Meeting held in Paris, France in 2014. The Amsterdam Declaration made significant inroads in support of green and health-friendly urban environments, largely through the implementation mechanisms of THE PEP Partnerships and THE PEP Staffete, both of which are highlighted in this publication.

    Moklak Jaroslav, Jagellonian University, Poland THE STRUGGLE FOR THE UKRAINIAN UNIVERSITY IN LVIV THE ITALIAN AND SOUTH SLAVIC CONTEXT (1908 – 1914) At the beginning of the twentieth century all the nations of the Habsburg monarchy fought for the possession of their own university, e.g. Czechs in Brno, Italians in Trieste, Slovenes in Ljubljana, Ukrainians in Lviv. Among the most active Ukrainian politicians in this struggle were Stanislav Dnistriansky, Oleksandr Kolessa and Kost Levytsky. This postulate, they many times reported in the Galician Diet and in the parliament of Vienna. Vienna government recognized the demands of all nations, but not all nations treated equally. Riots university in Vienna in the harsh light revealed the need to resolve disputes nationality. January 20, 1909, the State Council met, putting the main objective to solve the most ethnic dispute - Czech-German. The government then filed a draft law on the creation of a legal department with the Italian instruction in Vienna. Meanwhile, deputies Stanislav Dnistriansky and Oleksandr Kołessa reported January 21, 1909 a joint proposal for the establishment of a separate Ukrainian university in Lviv. In the spring of 1910, Prime Minister Richard Bienerth wanted to create an Italian law department in Trieste and he needed to support the Ukrainian Club in parliament. Ukrainians demanded own university, based on iunctum. Using this structure meant no consent to implement a settlement agreement without simultaneous another one (or several others) and it was used in the legislative process as a form of political pressure on the government. Ukrainian politicians announced iunctum to government projects aimed at creating an Italian University of Trieste.

  • The Story of VIN903847
    2019 Once More – the story of VIN903847 – 24 mins - 2014 This is the stunning story of Paul Loofs, born in Germany in 1933 when You-Know-Who was in charge, and then after 1945 found himself as a teen in the austere workers’ utopia of communist East Germany. Realising that the würst was yet to come he escaped and eventually got to Canada in 1953 and became a coal miner! However, he had the wanderlust so he saved hard, bought an early VW Beetle and between 1956 and 1963 went around the world in it three times! This film is such a beautiful chance to re-live a bygone era where things seemed so much simpler but also — really important this bit — a story of a man who didn’t even contemplate gadgets, gear and gizmos. He wanted to drive around the world, so he took the car from his front yard. The car still exists today and so does Paul and yes, he is a beautiful man; humble, kind, generous and unafraid of the world — inspirational. Iran’s Arrow - 78 mins - 2018 Iran’s Arrow is a documentary about a British car (the Hillman Hunter) that was introduced to Iran in 1967. It became Iran’s national car and was produced there under the model name “Paykan” (meaning ‘Arrow’) for 38 years. Naturally, being home-produced it attracted no import duties and quickly became the affordable family transport across the nation, getting Iran moving in much the same way the Fiat 500 or the Beetle did in Italy and Germany.
