3. VOYAGERSpublic & community

Some lessons learned:

Sustainable events, repeated and

developed over a period of time, with multiple encounters

choice of themes and threads: a symbol

hotelsea

corners

finding the universal in the provincial

the personal in the commonwealth

co-creation

it is the collaborative, cross-cultural factor

which gives a European dimension

cooperative efforts create greater impact

Rather than BIG projects, create BROAD partnerships,

both local and european.
