Description

Main objective: to promote the culture of parks in cities with great cultural potential but which require a new approach to raising awareness among citizens and authorities about the importance of urban green infrastructure.
Main activities: 
• Organizing bilateral visits to strengthen inter-institutional relations, as well as to prepare the events and edit the volume

Summary of the results

The objectives were achieved. 

The activities programmed in the initiative as well as its results (bilateral meetings, events, volume) provided an active and close collaboration of the project teams, which led to the strengthening of bilateral relations between the UPT and the Norwegian partner.

The bilateral initiative contributed, through the proposed activities, to the achievement of the objectives in the Culture priority sector, as follows: - Increasing awareness of the need to promote the culture of parks in cities with great cultural potential, but which require a new approach to their multifunctionality - Improving access to the culture of protecting and promoting urban green areas by organizing dedicated events (workshop type, round table, climate-thon) that included all age categories, respectively by publishing a volume with relevant information on the culture of parks.
