  • BeePathNet tools for EU cities to evolve into Bee-friendly

    After a two-year journey BeePathNet resulted in successful urban beekeeping development in Amarante (Portugal), Bydgoszcz (Poland), Cesena (Italy), Hegyvidék – XII District of Budapest (Hungary) and Nea Propontida (Greece) due to the transfer of Ljubljana’s BEE PATH good practice. We collected our good practices, innovative events and approaches in the final book, guidelines, newsletters and learning logs, so others can learn from them. The transfer of the BeePathNet initiative to additional four EU cities is URBACT’s special award for our hard work and all the “honey” we put in the preservation of the environment that we share with the bees.

  • KRAKOW TRANSNATIONAL MEETING – PART 2

    The Covid-19 pandemic took Krakow partners to the decision of hosting online their Transnational Meeting last year but left all partners with the desire to travel to the Polish city and see with their own eyes the wonders that have been created in terms of community urban gardens. Well, the Krakow team set themselves in the quest of completing what, in their opinion, was an “unfinished business”: the possibility to welcome all partners in Krakow before the end of the project’s lifetime so that they could see what has been implemented in their city during RU:RBAN.
