As 2025 draws to a close, we take a moment to reflect on the key milestones achieved by ALDA+, made possible by the commitment and passion with which our team works every day to promote the values we believe in.
It is a moment to look back, but also to look ahead: our goal remains to deliver ever more effective services and to develop impactful projects, building on our successes while learning from the challenges we have faced along the way.
International School 2025
From 3 to 5 September, in the beautiful setting of Villa Fabris in Thiene, we organised the second edition of the ALDA+ International School.
This year’s theme, “Resilient Communities: Strengthening Local Democracy in Times of Change”, offered an opportunity to reflect on the urgent need to protect democratic systems in a historical moment marked by increasingly complex global challenges.
Over the three days, numerous young participants engaged in discussions with experts from across Europe and beyond, addressing topics such as trust in democratic institutions, the role of technological progress, and the future enlargement of the European Union.
Building on this experience, we are already looking ahead with the aim of organising a third edition in 2026, featuring an even more ambitious programme and new thematic pathways.
AVGG – Alta Via della Grande Guerra
2025 marked a further step for ALDA+ in its commitment to promoting and enhancing the territory of the Alto Vicentino, a historical and cultural heritage of great value that deserves to be known and preserved.
In this context, ALDA+ has been involved for several years in activities related to the Alta Via della Grande Guerra (AVGG), a hiking route of approximately 200 km that crosses the Vicentine Pre-Alps and preserves the memory of the First World War. By providing technical assistance to the project leader, the Province of Vicenza, ALDA+ contributes to the development and promotion of this initiative.
During 2025, among the main activities carried out, 12 guided hikes were organised, offering participants the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the historical events that shaped these places, while also highlighting the area’s natural beauty and local food and wine traditions.
If you are interested in learning more and taking part in upcoming activities, we invite you to stay updated via our website and social media channels: new initiatives are already planned for 2026!
Training activities
During 2025, ALDA+ continued to deliver training programmes focused on Project Cycle Management and European funding programmes, with the aim of strengthening the skills of individuals, public bodies, and organisations interested in EU project development. Through these courses, we supported many participants in transforming project ideas into well-structured and concrete proposals.
Building on the positive feedback received and the growing level of interest, in 2026 we plan to further expand our training offer, developing new content and reaching an even wider audience.
Technical Assistance
Alongside training activities, in 2025 ALDA+ continued to provide technical assistance services to public bodies and organisations that share our values and objectives. Through this work, we support partners in the development of strategies, projects, and communication activities, helping to strengthen their impact at the local level.
Among the most significant collaborations, ALDA+ is responsible for the communication of the LIFE Svolta Blu project for Viacqua, the joint-stock company managing the integrated water service in 67 municipalities of the Province of Vicenza. This collaboration is a concrete example of how technical assistance can support the dissemination of good practices and raise awareness on key issues such as the sustainable management of water resources.
Looking ahead to 2026, we aim to continue and further consolidate this commitment by expanding our partnerships and strengthening the technical support offered to our partners.
We would like to conclude with a heartfelt thank you to all the people, organisations, and partners who have walked alongside us throughout 2025. It is thanks to collaboration, trust, and shared commitment that ALDA+ has been able to achieve these results and continue to grow.
The year 2025 leaves us with new skills, strengthened relationships, and ideas on which to build. With this spirit, we look ahead to 2026 with enthusiasm, ready to take on new challenges and develop even more ambitious and impactful projects.
See you in 2026!
