CECI 1st Interregional Event in Lahti, Finland

The first Interregional Event of the CECI project was organized in Lahti, Finland to kick-off the interregional cooperation on how to involve citizens in circular economy.

Altogether eight partners from six countries: Finland, France, Czech Republic, Spain, Bulgaria, Belgium and France have met for the first time. The intensive two-day programme included workshops on CECI methodology and terminology (workshop 1), activating partners in social media (workshop 2), and defining criteria for CECI Good Practices (workshop 3). Several good examples of new services for citizens as well as associations from Lahti and the Päijät-Häme region were introduced to the participants.
