Belgrade Open School is organizing an online regional conference "Cooperation to sustainable development at the local level - Bor, Zajecar and Knjazevac", December 16th at 11:00 AM.
The conference will bring together experts from Bor, Zajecar and Knjazevac, with the aim of exchanging experiences and examples of good practice in three dimensions that constitute sustainable development: economic, social and environmental dimensions.
The conference will consists of three panels, each dedicated to one dimension of sustainable development. Panelists will discuss education and ways to improve this area, the potential for rural tourism development in this region as a way for economic development, as well as the link between environmental protection and economic development.
The event is an opportunity to present local problems in all three areas of sustainable development that require a regional approach to solve, as well as opportunities for co-operation between the three cities in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Exchange of experiences, and especially the establishment of regional cooperation, will be extremely useful in implementing the 2030 Agenda in this region.

The event is being organizsed within the framework of the Sustainable Development for All Platform, supported by the Governments of Switzerland and Germany, and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. The project partners are the Belgrade Open School, Foundation BFPE For a Responsible Society, Center for Advanced Economic Studies, Ana and Vlade Divac Foundation, Center for Democracy Foundation, Timok Youth Center and Smart Kolektiv.
The Sustainable Development for All Platform implies the establishment of a public dialogue among the most important non-state actors in Serbia, such as civil society, corporate sector, academic and research community, professional associations, media, and citizens, on aligning Serbia’s development priorities with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The idea is to facilitate interaction with decision-makers on aligning Serbia’s development priorities with the goals contained in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable development.
