Today, at the VASAB Secretariat in Riga, we had the pleasure of hosting students of Spatial Planning Master's Programme of University of Latvia 📍 Continuing a great long-standing tradition 📚 It was an engaging talk where we shared our knowledge and experience on macro-regional cooperation, spatial planning on land and at sea, the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, and the implementation of #VASABVision2040 🗺️ We always look forward to inspiring the next generation of professionals in our field!   🌍 #SpatialPlanning #MaritimeSpatialPlanning #BalticSeaRegion

The opening event of Poland's EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region Presidency focused on: #resilience and #security of the Baltic Sea Region and finding more ways to support #Ukraine. We were honoured to have the Deputy Minister of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland to open the event - thank you for taking the time, Mr Marek Prawda! Key takeaways from yesterday 💡 Building a resilient macro-region is not possible without international cooperation. 💡 The Strategy is not for the few but for all. A wide chain of supporters on all governance levels makes it possible to implement the ambitious Action Plan. 💡 During Poland's Presidency, we are updating the EUSBSR Action Plan. Maintaining the inclusive nature of cooperation within the Strategy is highly important to Poland. Now is the time to reach out to our coordinators and have your say on the update. After 15 years of macro-regional cooperation, we can safely call the Strategy a success story. We have made a difference by bringing actors together and coordinating efforts, and should be bold enough to claim the results as our own.
