A Meeting That Sets a New Standard in Sustainable Collaboration 🌱✨

Under RTIS’s expert leadership, the consortium of 17 partners from 16 countries not only advanced project deliverables—such as workshops on integrated mobility, vital data collection, and the development of the fourth chapter of the Interactive Sustainable Living Guidebook (GISLG)—but also made a groundbreaking collective pledge.

This pledge? The creation of the “GreenMove Sustainability Toolbox”—a dynamic, open-access digital repository designed to remain a living legacy long after project funding concludes. This innovative platform will house proven e-tools, strategic models, and best practices from GreenMove and previous EU projects, empowering rural communities to implement sustainable mobility and energy efficiency solutions independently. 🌐🔧

RTIS’s Expertise in Action: Building a Legacy for the Future 🔧🌿

A spokesperson from the Municipality of Fano emphasized, “A project’s true success is measured by its longevity. The Toolbox is our promise that GreenMove’s knowledge will evolve into a resource fueling the green transition across Europe’s rural areas for years to come.”

Throughout the project, partners have already demonstrated tangible impact:

• In North Corfu, Greece, GreenMove laid the groundwork for a new Small Ports Management Office, a pivotal step in sustainable coastal mobility.
• In Podstrana, Croatia, the consortium called on the European Commission to designate May 9 as a “European Day of Sustainable Mobility,” linking green action with European identity.
• Partners from Malta to Latvia are actively implementing plans for on-demand transport, inclusive infrastructure, and community-led green tourism.

The Toolbox will serve as a comprehensive systematization of these real-world experiences—offering future adopters tested blueprints for impactful change.

A Unified, Impact-Driven Consortium 🌍🤝

Funded by the CERV-2024-Network of Towns program, the GreenMove network exemplifies the power of collaboration. The decision in Fano underscores a shared commitment to European values of solidarity, territorial cohesion, and sustainable development.

By co-creating this legacy tool, RTIS and its partners ensure that the spirit of GreenMove—pragmatic problem-solving and unwavering dedication to rural transformation—will inspire communities across Europe for generations to come. 🌟🌿

RTIS Network proudly hosted the inspiring first day of the GreenMove project event in the picturesque setting of Podstrana, Croatia. This dynamic initiative, organized by RTIS Network and hosted by the Municipality of Podstrana, marks a significant step forward in promoting sustainable mobility in rural and coastal areas across Europe. 🌍✨

Showcasing Innovation in Rural Transformation & Sustainable Mobility 🚜➡️🚶‍♂️

The event brought together partners from across Europe to present their innovative approaches to rural transformation through sustainable mobility solutions and the development of low emission zones. These measures are crucial for reducing pollution, enhancing social inclusion, and fostering eco-friendly tourism in underserved regions. The upcoming third meeting will focus on “Sustainable tourism and mobility in rural areas: Environmentally friendly transport options,” aiming to explore viable solutions that align with environmental and social goals. 🌱🌊

Objectives & Outlook: Building a Sustainable Future for Rural & Coastal Areas 🌐

The GreenMove consortium, a remarkable collaboration of 17 organizations from 16 European countries, exemplifies the power of international cooperation for sustainability. From the Mediterranean to the Baltic, and from Southeast to Central Europe, this diverse network acts as a hub for sharing knowledge, innovative practices, and expertise.

The main goal? To strengthen dialogue among public authorities, civil society, and international actors to improve mobility, reduce pollution, and promote sustainable development in rural and coastal communities. 🌿🤝

The 3rd Pan-European Meeting in Podstrana: Focus on Rural Tourism & Sustainable Transport 🚶‍♀️🌍

This event emphasizes the emerging role of rural tourism and the need for sustainable transport solutions tailored to the needs of various demographic groups. Highlights include:

• Workshop: Exploring “Sustainable tourism and mobility in rural areas: environmentally friendly transport options,” focusing on diverse demographic needs.
• Conference: Titled “Promoting citizen participation in European, local, regional, and national issues,” bringing together leaders and stakeholders to discuss ecological footprints, zero emissions, social cohesion, and resilience.

Official Launch & Future Steps 🚀

The GreenMove project officially launched on February 27 in Acharavi, Greece, and has since held meetings in Malta (June 2024) and now in Podstrana (October 2024). The project, spanning 18 months, aims to significantly impact mobility and social inclusion in EU rural and coastal areas, with further actions planned for 2025.
