End of Episode 1

Nearing to the end of Stage 1 and to the end of our 1^st year of project implementation, our partnership met online on 20 February 2024:

• to close the 1^st phase and to get an overview about the results, we have already reached;
• to plan and to discuss the next steps of Stage 2 and Stage 3;
• and to get prepared for the upcoming period as regards reporting and financing.

We were excited also to learn more about the organisational arrangements of our next in person partner meeting, which will be held at a very special place in Finland, in Inari. 

As a short summary of our meeting, we can state, that after a very well concluded preparational period we will turn into the probably busiest year of the project. This includes among others

• the peer reviews (thematised study visits) to learn in detail about other regions’ Good Practices;
• the interactive capacity building (training) workshops on regional level to boost stakeholder knowledge;
• and not to forget the many-many dissemination and communication activities to raise public awareness.
