It was the objective to establish an interregional network of about 100 municipalities, in fact about 140 have been involved. About 50 regional workshops took place on the four core areas: tourism, spatial planning, water services, agriculture and forestry, for municipalities and local stakeholders within those regions. To exchange experiences, to evaluate regional activities, to showcase good practise examples and to develop the project findings, many partner meetings and three interregional conferences took place.

According to partners’ backgrounds, main interest or special situation responsibilities for the four core areas, identified as crucial for the implementation of the water framework directive and regional development, have been assigned. So “Vides Projekti” (LV) was leading tourism, “Mersey Basin Campaign” and the “University of Manchester” (England) were leading spatial planning, the “Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband” (DE) was responsible for water services and the “Emåförbundet” together with the “Universidad Santiago de Compostela” were responsible for agriculture and forestry. But still every partner, and therefore every region, was working on every subject. On the following sites you will find further information about the regions, the partners, the core areas and the activities. Of course results are public and are provided to all interested bodies, e.g. through newsletters and this web site.
