Bilateral cooperation results
There was a new knowledge achieved within the cooperation with the donor project partner – the knowledge about the community and how important they are for successful projects as a whole. They were given new ways of more freedom, more power to act, and more room to move. Cooperation in acquiring practical regional development skills between civic society organisations of Jelšava and Norwegian partners took place as well as the understanding the innovation process in creating new businesses and operations on tangible or intangible cultural heritage and natural resources. The knowledge directly related to creating own innovative regional future have been improved.
