ReInd-BBG Project Partner Meeting and Community Engagement Kit Training

About the Partners Meeting

On December 3, 2024, the 10th partner meeting of the ReInd-BBG project was held via Zoom. During the meeting, activities for the second project period were briefly presented, along with plans for their completion. There was also a discussion about the reporting for this period, which is approaching. The meeting was led by Ms. Tanja Faganel from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, the lead partner on the project.

Community Engagement Kit Training

The second part of the meeting was dedicated to the Community Engagement Kit training, organized by representatives of the MKBT organization and the Regional Development Agency Bačka. The training focused on methods and tools for community engagement. The main goal of the training was to ensure that all stakeholders involved in the project – from local, regional, and national authorities, interest groups, potential investors, to the general public – stay informed, engaged, and active throughout the entire duration of the project.

The training covered key methods and tools for community engagement, including: social media campaigns, community newsletters, temporary activation events, pop-up engagement activities, visitor centers, stakeholder mapping, interviews, focus groups and roundtables, participatory ideation exercises/workshops, multiple feedback channels, etc.

This training provided excellent guidelines for improving communication with the target group and contributed to the successful implementation of the ReInd-BBG project. During the training, participants were also introduced to the Communication Engagement Kit document, created within the project, as a key resource for further development and community engagement.
