As the REGENERA Water Sports project is producing and publishing its first batch of deliverables, the Advisory Board members were invited to consult them and join the discussion on how to improve them or increase their dissemination potential. These deliverables and other ongoing activities which are shaping and defining the activities in the project’s four pilot sites were put up to test after having previously been discussed during the project’s Steering Committee meeting in Tampere a couple of weeks ago.
Namely, after having published the Collection of Good Practices in autumn, the project partners started working on the education programme which would see a series of trainings and workshops implemented in the four pilot sites. An ongoing survey among the identified stakeholders is another activity which is ongoing, and which should enable sound and systematic monitoring of the baseline scenario and the implemented measures and thus provide insight in the effectiveness and efficiency of the implemented measures.
All these ongoing activities and recent publications have a good dissemination potential, but the Advisory Board meeting also served as an opportunity to create an overview of such potentials and exploiting the established synergies with other projects and organisations such as #MakeEUBlue: Cities in Action campaign coordinated by DG MARE, SEE project, ENOS’ EuroMeet conference or the IUCN Sports for Nature webinar series.
At the conclusion of the meeting all participants agreed that it would be good to see a more regular communication between the Advisory Board members, as something that could happen anytime between the Advisory board meetings and facilitate the synergies.
If any European organisations, sport clubs, tourism boards, local authorities and similar are interested in participating in the project as an Advisory Member, they are kindly invited to contact Ernest Kovacs of ACR+ at gro.sulprca@ke
