  • Mesindusturism – nauditav ja väljakutseid pakkuv uus turismivorm

    Mesindusturism on erilisi elamusi ja uusi väljakutseid pakkuv turismivorm, mis on tugevalt seotud mesinduse kunsti, mesilaste elu ja loodusega. Mesilaste elu ja selles osalemine loovadki eheda turismitoote. Mesila külastamine, mesilasperede vaatlemine nende loomulikus keskkonnas, mesindusmuuseumid, mee degusteerimine, küünlavalmistamise töötoad ja mesilasteraapia on vaid mõned mesindusturismi tegevused. See kõik pakub külastajatele teadmisi mesilaste olulisuse kohta ning tutvustab lähemalt nende maailma.

  • Vic: working (and walking) with the Local Group: a healthy step forward

    Two main challenges in relation to the HEALTHY CITIES network have emerged for the city of Vic. The first one is the Integration of Urban Green Areas and the recovery of the area called “Puig dels Jueus”, following the integrated Master Urban Plan with its cross-sectorial approach and holistic vision. The second challenge is to adjust the indicators and the methodology to perform the health impact assessment of this action.
    This represents a regeneration project, with a high content of urban planning, but Vic wants to achieve a cross-sectional cross-cutting approach. The project will allow discussions about mobility, environment, services, land use or hosting cultural and sport activities. Managing the Local Group is a big challenge, but the working sessions are already showing exciting outcomes

  • The importance of defining the collaboration structure and communicating in the case of a public-civil partnership – Youth Center Dubrovnik

    For the last year and a half, Platform for Lazareti and Youth Center in Dubrovnik were working on establishing community centers based on the civil-public partnership. At the same time, they were working on bettering the communication and collaboration between the NGOs, but also with the representatives of the City of Dubrovnik. For now, both of the cases are successful examples, and a part of it is due to the knowledge they've received during the „Active NGOs“ project and collaboration with the URBACT lead and ad-hoc experts. GjinoSutic and Anja Markovic, a small but important fraction of the Youth Center are giving us their insight about the process and new developments in the case of the Youth Center as well as their unique approach to governance models.

This time: Magdeburg, Germany.
