All partners met on 23 and 24 April in Labin as part of the Green and Blue Energy Transition Days of the Istria Region and agreed on the direction to be given to the activities.

This meeting, focused on strengthening relations and exploring future collaborations between the two Municipalities. The territorial context of Italy and Croatia is facing great challenges related to the growing amount of waste that threatens the conservation of their natural beauty. Data shows that the amount of waste is increasing, requiring urgent action.
The importance of strengthening, at an educational and professional level, basic knowledge on waste management, also by promoting environmental awareness from an early age, was recognized by six Italian and Croatian partners who implemented the project with the aim also to reduce waste production by promoting and supporting the principles of the circular economy through educational programs and paths, as well as through the cross-border exchange of knowledge and experiences involving students.
