Bilateral cooperation results

As part of the project “In the Shadow of Szarlota – Unlocking the Potential of Rydułtowy,” the City of Rydułtowy established a partnership with a Norwegian counterpart. The partner municipality, selected by the Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities (KS), was Øvre Eiker. The partnership aimed to learn and adopt best practices. Three key areas were identified where Rydułtowy required support and where Norway demonstrated effective solutions: 1. Senior Policy, 2. Environment, 3. Social Participation. Through this bilateral cooperation, best practices were exchanged, enabling the implementation of proven solutions successfully applied by the Norwegian partner. The dissemination of these practices also benefited other Polish cities by extending the project's impact. Collaboration with the partner resulted in acquiring knowledge, skills, and experience while fostering an exchange of best practices. This cooperative approach significantly enhanced the project's outcomes and long-term benefits for the community.
