Networking with Mountain Pastoralists and Other Stakeholder Groups
01/10/2022–30/06/2024
As a result of our project, the number of workshop participants exceeded 100 and we registered 60 participants in total, with 352 people registering for our Newsletter. A well-functioning information network was built up, which also acted as a coordination network during the organisation of the events, helping the organisers to find the right speakers and experts. During the networking work we broadened our concept, as it became necessary to involve other stakeholders besides the shepherds and their organisations.
We renamed the network and called it the V4 Mountain Ecosystem Local Developers Network. At the Summer School we dedicated a special day to regional networking. For the first time, we managed to bring together 4 key players in regional networking. A further outcome of the Round Table was that, as all the participating organisations have cross-border links between Slovakia and Hungary, international networking issues were also discussed.
