Project: Sustainable Place & Destination Development – Including the Local Community & Youth
Bollnäs Municipality in Sweden and its partner Lobatse, Botswana are planning a mutual learning process on how the local community—especially youth, civil society, and businesses—can be involved in the development of regenerative tourism. The aim is to create long-term sustainable models based on local anchoring, identity, and economic opportunities.
The project has a clear ambition to strengthen internal coordination within the municipalities while also deepening cooperation with external actors. The chosen thematic focus on cultural and natural heritage provides a strong foundation for inclusive and democratic place development.
The partnership is part of the MR Youth Network.
