MeProLand Community Workshop March 2022
From 10.-12.03.2022 a community workshop was organized in Ajloun to evaluate and further develop the activities in the Living Lab. 9 people from the core team and about 20 members from the community conducted a 2-3 hour workshop on each of three central topics of the project work in the Lab (Community Center, Sustainable Tourism, Agriculture). In addition, a landscape & community safari was conducted to key stakeholders and sites (museum, Rasun Camp-Side, Zahrat Recreational Space, agricultural cooperative, historical sites).
Finally, some projects were prioritized and we agreed on the further procedure for the preparation of the project week in October 2022.
