At the Final Event of the Project RurALL, CEP contributed in its role as coordinator of Priority Area 10 of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region, presenting how local initiatives can achieve broader impact through macroregional cooperation and multilevel governance.
The presentation focused on the importance of participatory governance, stakeholder engagement, and institutional capacity-building in strengthening resilient rural communities. It explored how successful local initiatives and project results can move beyond pilot areas through stronger coordination, cooperation, and exchange across the Danube Region.
At the same time, the event also reflected CEP’s broader work in supporting municipalities and local stakeholders through practical capacity-building initiatives. By connecting macroregional policy coordination with hands-on mentorship and cooperation at the local level, CEP demonstrated how different projects and activities can complement one another: one helping create strategic frameworks and networks, the other translating these approaches into concrete support for municipalities and rural communities.
In the following roundtable, the event provided the opportunity to exchange experiences with local and regional representatives on practical approaches to rural development, cooperation, and inclusive governance across the Danube Region.
