The regular monthly Regenerative Communities Fund meeting with partners from several European countries was held – around 70 of us joined the Zoom meeting!

Participants shared experiences from local projects and discussed challenges, the sustainability of volunteer work, and ways to engage local communities and decision-makers.

A special focus was placed on preparations for the 10th European Day of Sustainable Communities (EDSC26), strengthening collaboration, and sharing good practices among initiatives.

We also had a chance to connect as a Croatian group! We gathered in a smaller group to discuss the importance of continuous knowledge exchange, mutual support, and building connections.

ECOLISE is a European network of communities working towards regeneration and social transformation. Within the Living Lab project, Vestigium demonstrates the wide range of activities we undertake – from farmers’ markets and clothing swaps to gardening and textile upcycling workshops, as well as supporting small initiatives and exchanging experiences and knowledge with partners from Finland, France, Spain, and Portugal.
