Through practical work in groups, participants became familiar with the process of identifying a green project idea, conducting research on it, developing a detailed project dossier and requesting calls for application of project proposals and their implementation.<\/p>\n

The aim of the training cycle was for the participants to strengthen their knowledge regarding the benefits of green transition and green infrastructure, as an appropriate way to sustainably solve some of the communal problems, ways and possibilities for creating green areas in urban areas and methods for proper planning of the future development of cities and other smaller settlements in the cross-border region.<\/p>\n
