The breakout sessions will tackle various themes, such as “Sustainable Regional Development,” “Utilization of Forest Resources,” and “Strengthening Communities Using Local Resources.” Successful case studies from different regions will be highlighted, providing participants with new perspectives and potential solutions for their own community challenges.
In addition to knowledge-sharing, the forum aims to foster networking and collaboration among participants, paving the way for new partnerships and initiatives. For municipal employees and others involved in community building, this forum presents a valuable opportunity to gain actionable insights.
