Bilateral cooperation results
The cooperation with the Norwegian partner Vaer Stolt was not as intensive as expected, mainly due to the low interest of the Norwegian partner. In the framework of the partnership with Vaer Stolt, the partner was regularly informed about the progress of the project. The partner was scheduled to participate in the opening ceremony of the granary in September 2024, which he did not attend due to time constraints. The partner was also invited to plan a cooperation in the operational phase, which would consist of jointly developing a plan of events for the granary premises (exhibitions, theatre performances, etc.).
