Session summary
To shape the sustainability of small towns and regions in the periphery when large green investments creates oppurtunities and challenges we need to be progressive. In order to attract skills: obtain new citizens and make established citizens to maintain, we need to think of the living conditions in the region in terms of access to culture and education.
We need
- The courage to make mistakes
- Rather many small inputs than one large investment
- Create meaningful activities for citizens instead of place branding without content
- Listen to the citizens' needs
- Take care of the place already existing conditions, and create even more!
The panel was composed by experts within culture, digitalization and gender, skills and industry, and representants from regional development (CoR member) and youth in Härnösand.
