A very successful workshop for primary school teachers was held on Saturday 25 January 2014 at the European Parliament Information Office in Dublin. Teachers attended from across the country and the aim of the workshop was to exchange best practices among participating teachers. Three MEPs, Marian Harkin, Mairead McGuinness and Emer Costello, attended the event and spoke about their work. The idea behind the programme is to encourage students to get to know their European neighbours better through activities in their schools.

The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.

  

The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:

  

•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia

•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement

•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society

•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom

  

In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia

  

A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)

  

Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.

What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?

The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

Testimonial game for William Bardsley (1946/47 - 1951/52) and Cyril Davies (1946/47 - 1959/60)

 

William Bardsley:

 

Before moving to Macclesfield had played for Crewe Alexandra. He also captained the Royal Navy Team at Lowestoft. A gifted player who gave 100% in every match and whilst he was a recognised defender there were a few occasions when he was used in attack. He won a Challenge Cup winners' medal in 1948 and a Cheshire Senior Cup winners' medal in 1950. A joint Testimonial game for him and Cyril Davies was held on 23 April 1951 against Bury from which he received £150.

 

Cyril Davies:

 

A local lad and son of a former Macclesfield player, Cyril initially played for Northampton reserves. During the Second World War he served in the RAF and played for teams around Rugby during 1944-45. On his transfer to Cheadle, Staffordshire he was captain of the unit's team in the Longton League. Cyril had the honour of being chosen for a Combined Services team who played against Czechoslovakia.

 

During his time with the Silkmen Cyril was described as a cool, resourceful and clever player. He signed for Macclesfield in 1946 and was a defender for his first four seasons playing at left-half although he was the side's right-half in 1947-48. On the arrival of Walter Shepherd he moved to the outside-left position replacing Ken Speak, a position which he made his own.

 

A regular in the team for much of his playing time, he was virtually ever-present from 1946 to 1950 and was ever-present in 1952-53 when the side were Champions of the Cheshire League. He gained a Challenge Cup winners' medal in 1948 and three winners' medals in the Cheshire Senior Cup in 1951, 1952 and 1954. He notched up his 400th appearance in February 1955 when he was made captain for the day. On 23 April 1951 a joint Testimonial match for Cyril and William Bardsley was held when Bury were the visitors, from which they each received £150.

 

When he retired from playing he became the team’s coach having passed the FA’s preliminary examination, however, Cyril was called out of retirement when he played in his last match for the Silkmen on 21 November 1959 at Mossley.

A ceremony in Chornobyl on 29th November 2016 marked the successful conclusion of the sliding operation, a key milestone before the finalisation of the international programme to transform Chornobyl into an environmentally safe and secure state by November 2017.

Thirty years after the nuclear disaster in Chornobyl, the radioactive remains of the power plant’s destroyed reactor 4 have been safely enclosed following one of the world’s most ambitious engineering projects.

Chornobyl’s giant New Safe Confinement (NSC) was moved over a distance of 327 metres from its assembly point to its final resting place, completely enclosing a previous makeshift shelter that was hastily assembled immediately after the 1986 accident.

The equipment in the New Safe Confinement will now be connected to the new technological building which will serve as a control room for future operations inside the arch. The New Safe Confinement will be sealed off from the environment hermetically. Finally, after intensive testing of all equipment and commissioning, handover of the New Safe Confinement to the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant administration is expected in November 2017.

Sir Suma Chakrabarti, EBRD President, commented: “We welcome this milestone in the process of the transformation of Chornobyl as a symbol of what we can achieve jointly with strong, determined and long-term commitment. We applaud our Ukrainian partners and the contractor and we thank all donors to the Chornobyl Shelter Fund whose contributions have made today’s success possible. The spirit of cooperation gives us confidence that the project will be completed on time and within budget a year from now.”

Novarka project director Nicolas Caille said: “We are very proud to have been able to actively contribute to meeting this one-of-a-kind technological challenge. The New Safe Confinement in Chornobyl is a feat of engineering that will ensure optimal safety conditions for the Ukrainian people for the next 100 years. I would like to take this opportunity to commend the achievement of the teams of the Novarka joint venture formed by major French groups VINCI Construction and Bouygues Construction.”

Igor Gramotkin, Director-General of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, said: “We were not building this arch for ourselves. We were building it for our children, for our grandchildren and for our great-grandchildren. This is our contribution to the future, in line with our responsibility for those who will come after us.”

The Chornobyl arch is the largest moveable land-based structure ever built, with a span of 257 metres, a length of 162 metres, a height of 108 metres and a total weight of 36,000 tonnes equipped. It will make the accident site safe and with a lifetime of 100 years allow for the eventual dismantling of the ageing makeshift shelter from 1986 and the management of the radioactive waste.

The structure was built by Novarka, a consortium of the French construction firms VINCI Construction and Bouygues Construction. Works started in 2010. With a cost of €1.5 billion the giant structure is the most prominent element of the Shelter Implementation Plan for Chornobyl, which involved more than 300 projects and activities. The €2.1 billion programme is financed by the Chornobyl Shelter Fund. Established in 1997, the Fund has received more than € 1.5 billion from 45 donors to date. The EBRD manages the Fund and is the largest contributor to the New Safe Confinement project.
