CIBioGo - 3rd Peer Review Visit, Gorenjska - Slovenia

The CIBioGo project aims at influencing regional development policy for citizen involvement in biodiversity governance.

In view of this, the third Peer Review Visit of the project will be organized on September 17-19 in Bohinj, Gorenjska (Slovenia), whose main topics will be all those related to the theme of "User conflict resolution" for a better inclusive governance of protected areas through the involvement of communities and key stakeholders. All this will be addressed through, masterclasses, stakeholder workshops, site visits and analysis of local good practices of the hosting partner organization – Slovenia Forest Service.

The first day will be dedicated to a thematic discussion by starting with presentations of good practices examples, which were used in Slovenia for solving conflicts bettween users of forests and other nature areas. In the afternoon interactive workshop (guided discussions, practical exercises, content analysis) will be held with the aim of raising awareness of the personal role in the constructive cooperation of the work institution. Prudence and mutual tolerance in solving work problems are important components of effective work teams. During the exercises and discussions, the participants will become aware of the importance of (un)constructive team cooperation.

During the second day study trips/ field trips will be carried out in Pokljuka, Bled and Bohinj area.

The last day instead, will again be dedicated to a thematic discussion and the closing of the event.
