The recent conference and residency week held in Cornwall was a positive start to our campaign for a new designation for all European rural isolated and peripheral regions. We know that we have much to build on but also important that we learn from the week so that we can continually improve.
We had a set of objectives:
- to strengthen the partnership within which we are currently working (Cornwall, South Ostrobothnia, Kujawsko Pomorskie)
- to develop the idea of how an EROC designation would work
- to recruit new partners to the EROC campaign from other regions who will become part of the EROC network and potentially also part of the partnership of 5 regions creating a joint celebration in 2014.
- to spread the word about EROC to national and international cultural players
- to gain some feedback from the commission about the appetite for the idea.
The week delivered positive results in each of these areas, and marked the end of the first phase in the work, and the next task is to step up a gear and ready ourselves for the second phase.
The following documents are presentations made at the conference.
