On the fourth day of the DLGN f2f, we attended the NEXPO Conference organized by NALAS. After the bus trip to the Zetra Arena (stadium from the Olympic Winter Games of Sarajevo ’84) we did a tour of the exposition and then attended the opening conference where, among others, Kurt Kunz (Head of Eastern Cooperation, SDC), addressed the international audience. During the afternoon, various workshops on topics like good governance, energy efficiency and municipal benchmarking were offered.

Here are a few audiovisual impressions from the day!

The final day of the DLGN f2f (strictly speaking) is over. In the morning we started with a fishbowl session on the future of the DLGN and the expectations towards the network from SDC. Then the two smaller learning projects on Election Support and Study Tour Guidelines were presented in the plenary. The afternoon was dedicated to the reflection on and discussion of emerging issues and future activities of the network.

A few photographic impressions from the day:

After the intense discussions during the learning project workshops on Monday afternoon, the insights and recommendations were summed up and presented in front of the plenary on early Tuesday morning.  Then the three main learning projects were concluded with a third discussion workshop before noon. After lunch, the main findings and recommendations were fed back into the plenary and discussed in regard to their applicability in future SDC projects.

Detailed thematic digestion of the very dense discussions will follow. In the meantime, here are a few impressions from a long and very fruitful day:

The first day of the f2f is over, and it has been a kick-start both on the social as well as on the thematic level. After an introductory session in the plenary during the morning, participants were free to choose from 6 learning project workshops on Local Government Assessment, Sunstainable Municipal Finance and Social Inclusion in two sessions in the afternoon. In the evening a joint dinner out was organized.

Here are a few impressions from the day:
