✨ Prošle nedelje održan prvi regionalni seminar zainteresovanih strana u okviru projekta EUFEAST ✨

U okviru Interreg Europe projekta „Festivalski putevi ka održivoj budućnosti (EUFEAST)“, predstavnici različitih institucija, organizacija i festivalskih manifestacija okupili su se na prvom regionalnom seminaru zainteresovanih strana kako bi razmenili iskustva i razgovarali o ulozi festivala u regionalnom razvoju i održivoj budućnosti zajednica.

Tokom seminara predstavljeni su rezultati mapiranja festivalske scene u Vojvodini, analizirani su ključni izazovi i potencijali, a kroz otvoreni dijalog učesnici su zajednički validirali nalaze i definisali moguće pravce daljeg razvoja.

Poseban fokus bio je usmeren na održivo upravljanje festivalima, finansijsku i ekološku održivost, jačanje saradnje, internacionalizaciju i primenu inovativnih pristupa u organizaciji manifestacija.

Seminar je poslužio kao važna platforma za povezivanje relevantnih aktera i usaglašavanje narednih koraka u cilju unapređenja kvaliteta festivala i njihovog doprinosa održivom razvoju regiona.

Projekat EUFEAST realizuje Fond za evropske poslove i razvoj AP Vojvodine uz podršku programa Interreg Europe.

During the seminar, the results of the mapping of the festival scene in Vojvodina were presented, key challenges and potentials were analyzed, and through open dialogue participants jointly validated the findings and identified possible directions for further development.

Special attention was given to sustainable festival management, financial and environmental sustainability, strengthening cooperation, internationalization, and the implementation of innovative approaches in event organization.

Radionica za elaboraciju preporuka za politike o valorizaciji kulturnog nasleđa - COMMHERITOUR

📍 Novi Sad | Naučno-tehnološki park

Na završnoj konferenciji projekta COMMHERITOUR predstavljene su ključne preporuke za unapređenje politika u oblasti valorizacije kulturnog i zanatskog nasleđa.

Fokus je bio na tome kako ovaj, još uvek nedovoljno iskorišćen resurs – posebno u ruralnim i perifernim područjima – povezati sa turizmom i lokalnim ekonomskim razvojem.

Zaključak je jasan: nasleđe ima potencijal da postane aktivan razvojni resurs, uz jače povezivanje znanja, tržišta i saradnje u regionu.

Workshop for the development of policy recommendations on the valorisation of cultural heritage

📍 Novi Sad | Science and Technology Park

At the final conference of the COMMHERITOUR project, key policy recommendations were presented for the valorisation of cultural and craft heritage.

The focus was on how to better connect this still underutilised resource—especially in rural and peripheral areas—with tourism and local economic development.

The conclusion is clear: heritage can become an active development resource through stronger links between knowledge, markets, and regional cooperation.

Uspešno je završena studijska nedelja sa studentima iz Lucerna! 🎓

Tokom programa studenti su posetili više kompanija i industrijskih objekata, gde su stekli direktan uvid u proizvodne procese, poslovanje i inovacije.

Posete su bile dopunjene stručnim razgovorima i susretima sa lokalnim akterima, što je doprinelo boljem razumevanju regionalnog razvoja i ekonomske saradnje.

Program je pružio odličnu priliku za učenje, praktično iskustvo i međunarodno umrežavanje.

Hvala svim učesnicima i partnerima! 🙌

The study week with students from Lucerne has been successfully completed! 🎓

Throughout the programme, the students had the opportunity to visit several companies and industrial sites in the region, where they gained first-hand experience of production processes, business operations, and innovation practices.

In addition to the site visits, we also held professional discussions and exchange sessions with local stakeholders, which helped participants better understand regional development and economic cooperation in practice.

The programme provided a valuable combination of learning, practical experience, and international networking opportunities.

Thank you to all partners and participants for their contribution! 🙌

We are excited to start working on this case 🙏

🔥 Cross border cooperation saves forests — and lives.

🚒 Local and regional authorities, as well as fire units along the Bulgarian–Greek border, currently cannot cooperate directly on wildfire prevention, preparedness, or response without prior authorization from central government levels.

This absence of a legally recognized civil protection cooperation framework at the local level creates serious risks for both nature and human safety. Establishing such a framework would strengthen joint action, improve response capacity, and significantly enhance long term risk reduction for both countries.

🔍 This new b-solutions case was submitted by Δήμος Σιντικής and is now being advised by CESCI Balkans, who are providing an in depth legal analysis and proposing actionable solutions to overcome this obstacle.
