First workshop for the definition of the Trentino's DES action plan in the Interreg CE 3P4SSE project! On the morning of 11 June 2024 there was the first meeting to define the new action plan of the Trentino's DES of the Interreg CE 3P4SSE project! The meeting was attended by 15 people including the stakeholders of the Trentino solidarity economy and the PAT. The works were managed with the support of Euricse with the tool of world coffee. 2 working tables have been created. The theme of the first debate was focused on how can we create a greater interaction between citizens - DES and public administration? An initial phase of discussion and listening was followed by a second phase of defining actions which were then shared by a spokesperson. The second moment of world coffee had as its theme that of imagining DES in 2030 and defining the mapping of internal critical issues and the current system also aimed at the creation of new DES and new pilot projects in the area. The actions and strategies discussed were very strong and relevant. A next meeting will be held on 17 June 2024 at the Euricse headquarters. #cooperationiscentral #madewithinterreg #Interreg #SocialSolidarityEconomy #3P4SSE Con: Social and Solidarity Economy - CentralEurope Network, Euricse, LINKS Foundation – Leading Innovation & Knowledge for Society- PRIZMA - Fundacija za izboljšanje zaposlitvenih možnosti - Pannon Business Network - Maribor - Splitsko-dalmatinska županija - alda* - European Association for Local Democracy - National Foundation for Civil Society Development - Cooperazione Trentina
