October, 5. This week partners from Poland, Estonia, Finland and Ukraine gathered in Estonia for a meeting of our CBSS project, “Sustaining Communities and Ecosystems of the Baltic Sea Region"
On October 5, we started the meeting with a visit to the Tartu Nature House, where we explored its nature education activities and climate trail in the garden.
Next day we visited the Mehikoorma community NGO on the shores of Lake Peipsi, where local partners will introduced their community initiatives and shared their experiences of working for a more sustainable and resilient lakeside community.
