An interactive workshop at the University of Zagreb introduced students to European cooperation projects and their role in addressing sustainability challenges within the GARDEN framework.
As part of its educational and outreach programme, the GARDEN project organised an interactive workshop for students at the University of Zagreb, bringing together 20 participants interested in sustainability, innovation, and European cooperation.
The workshop introduced students to the objectives of European territorial cooperation programmes and demonstrated how initiatives such as GARDEN translate policy frameworks into practical solutions at local and regional level. Participants explored topics related to green mobility, sustainable food logistics, urban transitions, and collaborative governance.
Through group discussions and applied examples, students examined how interdisciplinary cooperation supports environmental transformation and social impact. The session stimulated strong interest in project-based learning, international collaboration, and hands-on engagement with sustainability challenges.
The workshop confirmed the value of academic environments as innovation hubs that connect young people with real-world sustainability initiatives and European networks.
