Summary The Re-Block project provided a unique experience to the Region of East Macedonia and Thrace, as a partner of the program, to enable it acquire new experiences and expertise in issues that have to do with the improvement of the urban environment, social cooperation, and social inclusion in the specific target area in the city of Komotini. The aim of the Local Action Plan following is the recording of the current situation and the quoting of proposed actions and solutions for the improvement of the urban environment and social relations of the residents living in this particular spatial entity. The purpose of the Local Support Group which operated under the Re-Block project is to prescribe in detail the problems, but also to give a realistic depiction of the proposed actions and interventions that can be performed by local agencies (REMTH, Municipality of Komotini), along with a feasible actions schedule, and some potential funding sources. The text following is an experience result of the Local Support Group after meetings with residents, local organizations and actions conducted under the general cooperation of the local community in order to submit implementable proposals that result in the preparation of the Local Action Plan and aspires to become a useful tool for the development of the region and the evolution of social life in the city of Komotini. 4 2. URBACT Program URBACT is a European exchange and learning program promoting sustainable urban development. URBACT motivates cities to cooperate in order to develop solutions to major urban challenges, reaffirming the key role they play in facing increasingly complex societal changes. It helps cities develop pragmatic solutions that are new and sustainable, and that integrate economic, social and environmental dimensions. URBACT enables cities share good practices and lessons learned with all professionals involved in urban policy throughout Europe. URBACT consist of 500 cities, 29 countries and 7000 active participants. URBACT is jointly financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund) and the Member States. URBACT specifically aims to: 1. Facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience among city policy makers, the decision makers and the practitioners 2. Widely disseminate the good practices and lessons drawn from exchanges and ensure the transfer of know-how 3. Assist policy-makers and practitioners, as well as managers of Operational Programs, to define Action Plans for sustainable urban development 5 3. Re-BLOCK Project The main objective of the project is to promote urban regeneration in areas that include substandard building complexes. More specifically, it focuses on converting these areas into attractive through the improvement of environmental quality and the development of a comprehensive individualized approach in the fight against poverty. Housing, as well as access to clean drinking water and electricity are key elements for the improvement of the quality of urban environment. Usually such houses are situated in remote and deprived areas of a city. Most people who live in these urban areas have some common characteristics, such as low educational level, broken families, high unemployment rate and people from different ethnic backgrounds. The Re-BLOCK project is implemented under the URBACT II (2007-2013) program, which promotes sustainable urban development through networks of cities. The Re-BLOCK program belongs to 1.1 URBACT axis: Cities, growth drivers and job placement creation. The Region of East Macedonia and Thrace (REMTH), with the municipality of Komotini being the ultimate beneficiary of the project, participates in a European network, under which some meetings were held and knowledge and opinions were exchanged by experienced experts, so that each partner prepares a local action plan, which will address the main problems in their area, with the assistance of a local support group. The overriding aim of the participation of the REMTH is that the city of Komotini acquires a tool with practices and guidelines in order to be able to achieve the overall infrastructure upgrade as well as the improvement of living conditions and social integration. The partners of the project, comprising the network, represent cities including deprived areas with the characteristics mentioned above. The core partners in which the REMTH is also included consists of 10 cities which are listed below: The Local Government of Budapest District 18, Pestszentlőrinc-Pestszentimre, Hungary, which is the lead partner The City of Malaga, Spain The City of Gkezelkirchen, Germany The City of Iasi, Romania 6 The REMT (Municipality of Komotini), Greece The

Please provide information on what you understand by the terms Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred; on the intersection between anti-Muslim hatred, racism and xenophobia and on the historical and modern contexts, including geopolitical, socio-and religious factors, of anti-Muslim hatred. There are numerous definitions of Islamophobia which are influenced by different theoretical approaches. The Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, which annualy publish European Islamophobia Report, uses the working definition of Islamophobia that theorizes Islamophobia as anti-Muslim racism. The Foundation notes that Islamophobia is about a dominant group of people aiming at seizing, stabilizing and widening their power by means of defining a scapegoat – real or invented – and excluding this scapegoat from the resources/rights/definition of a constructed ‘we’.

    Music and Traditions of Thrace (Greece): a Trans-Cultural Teaching Tool 1

    MUSIC AND TRADITIONS OF THRACE (GREECE): A TRANS-CULTURAL TEACHING TOOL 1 Kalliopi Stiga 2 Evangelia Kopsalidou 3 Abstract: The geopolitical location as well as the historical itinerary of Greece into time turned the country into a meeting place of the European, the Northern African and the Middle-Eastern cultures. Fables, beliefs and religious ceremonies, linguistic elements, traditional dances and music of different regions of Hellenic space testify this cultural convergence. One of these regions is Thrace. The aim of this paper is firstly, to deal with the music and the dances of Thrace and to highlight through them both the Balkan and the middle-eastern influence. Secondly, through a listing of music lessons that we have realized over the last years, in schools and universities of modern Thrace, we are going to prove if music is or not a useful communication tool – an international language – for pupils and students in Thrace. Finally, we will study the influence of these different “traditions” on pupils and students’ behavior. Key words: Thrace; music; dances; multi-cultural influence; national identity; trans-cultural teaching Resumo: A localização geopolítica, bem como o itinerário histórico da Grécia através do tempo, transformou o país num lugar de encontro das culturas europeias, norte-africanas e do Médio Oriente. Fábulas, crenças e cerimónias religiosas, elementos linguísticos, danças tradicionais e a música das diferentes regiões do espaço helénico são testemunho desta convergência cultural. Uma destas regiões é a Trácia. O objectivo deste artigo é, em primeiro lugar, tratar da música e das danças da Trácia e destacar através delas as influências tanto dos Balcãs como do Médio Oriente.

    Working Session 4 Wednesday, 13 September 2017 Ensuring Equal

    Working Session 4 Wednesday, 13 September 2017 Ensuring equal enjoyment of rights and equal participation in political and public life Statement by the Greek Delegation Mr Moderator, In reply to allegations made by a member of an NGO, please allow me to stress that in Greece, only one group of persons is qualified as a “minority”, namely the Muslim minority in Thrace, consisting of three distinct groups, whose members are of Turkish, Pomak and Roma origin. The status of the Muslim Minority in Thrace was established by the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, which qualifies this minority as a religious and not a national one. In this framework, please allow me to stress that it of great surprise the fact that some NGO members put into doubt International Treaties. In reply, also, to allegations made by another NGO member, I would like to state that in almost all successive parliamentary elections held in Greece since 1927, candidates that were members of the Muslim minority in Thrace have been elected as Members of Parliament (MPs) with the governing party, the opposition or, in most cases, on both sides of the Parliament. Currently, there are four MPs that are members of the said minority. Furthermore, the members of the minority do actively participate in all levels of the region’s Local Administration. This continues to be the case, following the most recent (May 2014) regional and local elections. Roughly 120 Greek citizens – members of the Muslim Minority – were elected at the local and regional Councils in Thrace: among them three mayors in the cities of Arriana, Iasmos (Rodopi constituency) and Miki (Xanthi constituency).
