Day one: the institutional welcome
The event opened at the headquarters of the Padua Chamber of Commerce, the project’s lead partner. Key figures from the Central Europe program welcomed the international delegates: Luca Ferrarese, coordinator of the Joint Secretariat, and Alberto De Sordi, Italian National Contact Point.
Both welcomed ECLECTIC-CE within the framework of the Programme, emphasizing the strategic importance of the project’s content for the Central European region and providing valuable methodological insights for the management of the work.
Focus on the territory: the visit to the Bassa Padovana
On the second day, the work moved to Monselice (Padua), the heart of the target area in Veneto, at the headquarters of the LAG (Local Action Group) of the Bassa padovana. This choice was not accidental: the area represents the territorial laboratory for the strategic interventions planned by the project in Veneto.
From a technical point of view, this first meeting allowed the partners to come into direct contact with the local reality, aligning roles and operational responsibilities.
