The Webinar 4 was an opportunity to hear range of very insightful practices, approaches, that enriched the knowledge of 33 participants coming from partner organisations and stakeholders from CITISYSTEM regions. After the welcoming words from Helena Cvenkel, from Business Support Center Kranj several interesting presentations took place.

Insightful discussions and exchange of views of the topics presented in event concluded the Webinar, as participants had placed multiple questions for common discussion based on the presented materials. We believe that sharing the practices  could lead also to development/usage of presented practices in CITISYSTEM regions.
