The programme was particularly interactive and focused on the future:

Wednesday 6th November: In depth General Assembly

The members were assembled for a full working-day in order to, in addition to the usual statutory items:

  • review network activities, exchange and decide about the future, from now until 2016, the year of the 20th anniversary of Euromontana, and beyond;
  • discuss about how to improve our impact on the European policies and on the field;
  • study the possibilities to develop our network and attract new members;
  • work together to prepare our projects through a “brokerage event”: a project incubating session to gather ideas and prepare the partnerships for the multiple calls for projects scheduled from 2014 onwards (particularly INTERREG EUROPE and Horizon 2020).

There were Preparatory activities in order to take advantage of that day at best.

Thursday 7th November: Listening to entrepreneurs!

We organised, to the attention of Euromontana members and specifically invited mountain regions, a conference on innovative entrepreneurship in mountain areas. Entrepreneurs told us about their experience and communicated their needs. We then discussed how to help them as best as we can.

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
