Overcoming barriers, creating opportunities
We provide EU funding to projects and organisations helping to advance cooperation for a smarter, greener, and more inclusive Danube region.
In the spotlight
Citizen Participation and Collaborative Governance
Across the Danube Region, a quiet transformation is taking place: citizens are no longer just consulted — they are co-creating the future of their communities. From rural revitalisation to culture-led development and inclusive tourism, new transnational initiatives supported by the #interregdanube Programme are proving that sustainable change happens when people are placed at the centre of decision-making. Projects like RurALL, ELEVATE, People Powered Tourism, PlaceCRAFT and CAST demonstrate how participatory governance is not a side activity — it is a powerful driver of resilient, inclusive, and future-ready regions.
