    Do you have a curious mind that is ready to be challenged and inspired? Would you like to share your insights  on international cooperation projects that your city, agency or region is working on? The International Urban and Regional Cooperation Programme’s EU Regions Week workshop may just be the event for you!

    Regions and cities participate in diverse local, national, and international cooperation activities. This cooperation allows them to learn and use innovative solutions for common challenges in the post-industrial transition. Specifically, international cooperation gives a different perspective to the exchange of experiences, capacity building & global networking which can foster curious minds, creative ideas, and solutions.

    In our #EURegionsWeek workshop entitled “CURIOUS MINDS FOR A STRONGER EUROPE THROUGH INTERNATIONAL URBAN AND REGIONAL COOPERATION”, we will engage the audience to demonstrate not only how international cooperation can provide an added-value when it comes to the development and activities of a city/region but also how networks and programmes can aid in establishing these international connections. Register now and join us on 10 October from 11:30-12:30 CEST! Register here.

    Come with a curious mind that is ready to be tested and challenged!

    During the workshop, the spotlight will be placed on participants from regions and cities who would like to highlight their experience in international cooperation. EURADA Director, Roberta Dall’Olio, and EUROCITIES Secretary General André Sobczak will also share how networks and EU programmes can aid in establishing international connections. Don’t miss out and bring your curiosity with you!
