activities








The exchange of knowledge will be organized on an international level (seminars), between partners (partner meetings) and bilateral between the partners.

International seminars
To exchange knowledge and experiences across international, national and local levels there are two 'theme meetings' or conferences planned. These themes are directly connected to the main aspects, and the core projects. These theme meetings will have the following participants: the TEN partners, the participating project members from each project, local experts and ther people interested in the project, the local and regional authorities and politicians. The themes will be (draft titles): "Realisation of ecological corridors with participation of numerous governmental and non-governmental authorities on a local level." (UK June 2004)

"Seeking for win-win strategies to realise ecological corridors, especially in regard to water quality, water framework and economic development." (NL June 2004)

Meetings
The partners will meet at least five times.  Further bilateral meetings (two country-visits by example UK visiting Drenthe), field visits and expert meetings will be organized partly on the need of local partners, to encourage broader visions or to get practice experience. 

E-mail-discussion group
To realize a better contact on technical issues between local partners and international partners an experimental email-discussion group will be organized (TENdiscussions@Drenthe.nl). Other Interreg-projects on water issues will be asked to inform via this email address TEN on their new newsletters and reports and their download addresses and thus implement knowledge from outside TEN. Participating from outside TEN will be possible on a modest scale (Maximum participants + 150)
