We invite you to PREPARE Gathering 2013
PREPARE GATHERING
from 4 to 7 September 2013 in Bosnia and Herzegovina
NETWORKING FOR
SUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT
The PREPARE Gathering 2013 is a linked series of events in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which aim to bring together representatives of civil society as well as public sector organisations, primarily from Central and South-Eastern Europe but also from EU member states. The main objectives are:
- to provide rural civil societies with an opportunity to discuss and express views on the current challenges of rural development in Europe and beyond it;
- to create a space for exchanging experience and ideas, in particular to stimulate an exchange between rural actors from those Central and Eastern European countries which are already EU members, and those which are preparing for accession, especially from the South Eastern European region;
- to promote dialogue between the public, private and NGO sectors and encourage networking for sustainable rural development.
The planned events comprise:
- Conference “Networking for sustainable rural development” - presentations and discussions on the situation of rural civil society, and preparing for EU membership of the accession countries and the new neighbour countries;
- A series of “Travelling Workshops” – study visits of small groups focusing on good practices in networking for sustainable rural development in Bosnia and Herzegovina;
- Exchange among participants for the future cooperation and brainstorming for future action of the PREPARE programme, with particular attention to South-Eastern Europe.
Participants will be accommodated in Jahorina, popular tourist destination near Sarajevo, the place, where in the year the winter olimpic games took place. As in previous years, accommodation costs of participants will be covered by PREPARE thanks to the support of Charles Stewart MOTT Foundation and other donors. Travelling costs of the participants should be covered by their national organisations. In some cases part of the travelling costs can be reimbursed.
