  • Preliminary Overview of City Measures to Mitigate the Socio- Economic Impact of COVID-19
    Preliminary overview of city measures to mitigate the socio- economic impact of COVID-19 Policy note 4 May 2020 Cities are on the frontline of managing the COVID-19 crisis. They are dealing with the immediate consequences of the crisis. Many cities have adapted their services in quick, effective, and innovative ways to respond to the emergency. As we are moving past the emergency stage of this crisis, many cities are pro-actively setting out measures to mitigate the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis on people, jobs, businesses, the local economy and equality and inclusion in cities. EUROCITIES has compiled a preliminary overview of policy responses that cities have recently adopted to mitigate the socio-economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis in the short, medium and long-term. This document builds on an existing collection of economic measures on subnational level assembled in the Economic Bulletin N°3 of the European Committee of the Regions. It also brings together examples from about 50 cities that were published on cities’ websites, and on our EUROCITIES web platform www.covidnews.eurocities.eu. In a nutshell, the most common mitigating measures in cities are: • providing financial aid to local businesses and people most affected by COVID-19 crisis • improving the conditions and access to loans for businesses • pausing rent payments • introducing flexibility and exemption of tax and fee payments • compensating businesses having contracts with the municipality • compensating for damages • involving private donors

  • Eurovision Choir 2019: Press Handbook
    PRESS HANDBOOK Eurovision Choir 2019 Press, Delegation & Production Handbook DISTRIBUTION: Press, Delegations, Production Dear friends, It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to the second edition of Eurovision Choir, here in Gothenburg. Those of us who were fortunate enough to be involved in the production during Latvian Television’s first edition in Riga hold many fond memories of launching Eurovision’s newest competition format. The show was spectacular, the choirs stunning and the music sublime. But what remains most strongly in my memory is the unique atmosphere of the backstage area around the show. I recall a festive atmosphere, almost a party, as nine choirs traded songs across the dressing room walls. And indeed, this is a festival – a festival of the beauty and diversity of choral singing in Europe, and of what can be achieved by joining our voices. So it seems true – singing is good for the soul. Thanks to those of you who have made the journey to attend Eurovision Choir 2019 in Gothenburg. Good luck to all the choirs taking part and enjoy the show! Jon Ola Sand Executive Supervisor, Eurovision Song Contest & Eurovision Live Events.

Azerbaijan’s ”Hour of the Wolf” was written by Nicolas Rebscher, Nicklas Lif and Lina Hansson during the first ever Stockholm Songwriting Camp at Pop House hotel in Stockholm, january 2015. In addition several pop songs met the public ears during the year, including Conchita Wurst’s ”Firestorm” written and produced by Joacim Persson, Sebastian Arman and Aleena Gibson (who was an additional writer not at the camp), and the song ‘Step to my beat’ which the ‘pop dynamo’ Ronika co-wrote at the camp with Nicolas Rebscher. It was also featured in The Guardians pop playlist. Stockholm Songwriting Camp is an initiative that brings together writers and producers from around the world. It is a hub that values the creativity of others and wants to provide a neutral platform for embracing creativity across the songwriting world. What makes the concept different from a lot of camps is the fact that the organizers do not claim any publishing rights, all property is the writers – it is simply the meeting place. The concept was founded by Niclas Molinder owner of Auddly, based in Stockholm.

In its metropolitan area, closer to a million peo- ple reside. The city is historically a centre of trade and shipping and the port of Gothenburg is the largest port in the Nordic countries. Apart from trade, also manufacturing and industry has played a significant role in the city‟s growth and development with major companies such as Volvo, SKF and Ericsson originating in Gothenburg. Over the last couple of decades, the city has however undergone a shift from industrial production to high-tech, knowledge-based and service industries. This development is not necessarily equally distributed and the city is struggling with growing socio-economic disparities. The city is divided into ten city districts with significant administrative responsibilities. The built up area stretch into three other municipalities, Partille, Mölndal and Härryda. Gothen- burg is also the metropole of the Gothenburg region that consist of 13 municipalities.
