PREPARE - Partnership for Rural Europe

Invitation for PREPARE GATHERING 2010

The PREPARE Gathering 2010 is a linked series of events in Macedonia that will take place from 30 August to 3 September 2010, which aim to bring together representatives of civil society as well as public sector organisations, primarily from Central and South-Eastern Europe but also from EU member states. The main objectives are:

• to provide rural civil societies with an opportunity to discuss and express views on the current challenges of rural development in Europe and beyond it;
• to create a space for exchanging experience and ideas, in particular to stimulate an exchange between rural actors from those Central and Eastern European countries which are already EU members, and those which are preparing for accession, especially from the South Eastern European region;
• to promote dialogue between the public, private and NGO sectors.
