Last week, the Euracademy Association took part in the final meeting of the CO-Green project in Torun, Poland. This initiative has focused on encouraging public participation in local communities across Europe, aiming to develop sustainable practices in line with the European Green Deal.
During the project, we worked with ten communities from Greece, Poland, Italy and Croatia, and organized 15 events that promoted collaboration and knowledge sharing. In Karditsa, Greece alone, we held 13 events, bringing together around 300 participants who were eager to address climate change challenges. A key highlight was our training program for local residents, which helped them create practical green initiatives.
The meeting in Torun also allowed us to connect with inspiring groups like Zielone Wrzosy, who have worked hard to protect their local forest from development. Their efforts show how grassroots action can make a real difference.
As we wrap up this phase of the CO-Green project, we’re excited to continue supporting public participation and sustainable practices in our communities and we consider the involvement of local communities as a prerequisite for the success of current and future green and sustainable strategies.

🌍 Uniting for Sustainable Tourism in Medimurje 🌍

One of the biggest challenges in rural tourism is inspiring small SMEs to collaborate within a single destination, working together for sustainability. We're thrilled to share a success story from 6 Croatian businesses in Medimurje, who, with support from our ASP in Croatia and the EURuralTourism project, have come together to create a beautiful video showcasing their destination. This is a shining example of what can be achieved when we unite for a common cause. 🌱

Read the full story, and don't forget to visit and support these incredible businesses!

We are happy to announce that our recent Summer Academy, held in Nea Makri from June 16-20, 2024, was a tremendous success with 44 participants from 8 different countries. This year's theme, "Responsible Food Production and Consumption for a Sustainable Future," truly resonated with everyone.

Through interdisciplinary collaboration and transnational participation, we explored how urban and rural communities can work together to create a sustainable and equitable future for food. Our discussions focused on:

->Understanding Sustainable Food Consumption
->Strengthening Sustainable Food Systems and Improving Food -Security
->Empowering Communities through Education

The educational visits on June 18 were a highlight, with small groups visiting local facilities to see food production in action and discuss vital issues. This event was organized in collaboration with the Rafina High School and within the framework of the European GOOD FOOD program.

🎬 Exciting Update from our Croatian participating SMEs in the EuroCluster Rural Tourism Project! 🌟

One of our recent collaborative endeavors involved creating thematic video material aimed at informing and promoting these participating SMEs located in Mejimuria to the public and target markets. Each video highlights the distinct characteristics of the region and values of the SMEs, providing viewers with a realistic glimpse into what they have to offer.

In the recent filming expedition to Međimurje, Croatia, we collaborated with six incredible SMEs from the region. From April 22nd to April 24th, the participating experts from Croatia -Jurakić, Pavlin, and Koščak- together with the destination management organization of Međimurje, led by Mr. Josip Mikec, embarked on an adventure to capture the essence of these businesses.

Special thanks to PROJEKTNA PRODUKCIJA - obrt za usluge for their exceptional work in bringing our vision to life through their expertise in film production.

Stay tuned for the release of these captivating videos, where you'll discover the charm and innovation of Međimurje's rural tourism businesses firsthand!
