UDIEX-UDIEX ALEP
The UDIEX thematic network, with the linked qualifications
project Action Learning Exchange Programme (ALEP),
has proved to be one of the most innovative of the URBACT
projects. It was considered that there was not enough
exchange on policies addressing issues of inclusion, diversity
and integration and hence the UDIEX ALEP project was
created to change this.
This method of linking the exchange elements to a training
scheme has allowed maximum impact for this project.
Through a series of 8 topic based workshops and 6 cross topic
workshops (Venice Sessions) the group, with its 26 partners
has managed to produce a series of workshop reports in
order to disseminate widely the results of the project and
impact on future policy. A number of case studies have also
been produced to highlight examples of good practice.
All the documentation produced by the project is available
on the URBACT web site www.urbact.eu/udiex.
The network has mobilised a total of 367 people with an
average of 57 participants per workshop. In addition there has
been a high percentage (21%) of participants from the NGO /
voluntary sector.
