The first in person meeting of the project RurALL took place in Beltinci

From 27th to 29th of May the RurALL consortium met in Beltinci for the first live event.

We spent three days getting to finally know each other in person, debate about common issues, and brainstorm on many topics regarding our RurAll project. In organized workshops, we discussed the procedure of transnational cooperation in developing the governance model but also debated the challenges of community engagement in rural communities. Zavod PIP together with ZSI presented the community engagement approach that we developed over the last six months.

The round table discussion with the guests Dr.Jerneja Jug Jerše, Head of European Commission Representation in Slovenia, and Dr. Andreja Kutnar, a specialist in the field of wood science from the University of Primorska in Koper, and the NEBA Alliance coordinator opened up new perspectives on rural development and the principles of New European Bauhaus that RurALL has committed to.

The meeting concluded on a positive note, the constructive discussions and the friendly environment contributed significantly to the overall success of the meeting, and we look forward to continuing our productive collaboration.
