testing and demonstrating how existing solutions can be applied in practical tourism and employment environments;

Dear Pija Godec,

My name is Gabriela Popova, and I represent BATTI Association.
BATTI is an NGO based in Varna, Bulgaria. Our region is eligible for the Interreg Euro-MED calls, and we have experience in two projects under this programme: GARDEN and Med-Routes. Med-Routes focused specifically on sustainable tourism, allowing us to gain strong expertise in this field.
We also work on other tourism-related projects under the Interreg Danube Programme, such as Roman Legacy. We are currently partners in 9 Interreg projects in total under the different Programme Regions.
As an NGO, according to the programme rules, we cannot act as the lead partner. We would like to join as partners in future consortia. Thanks to our extensive experience, we would be pleased to support you in the preparation of the project proposal.
BATTI Association’s expertise includes digital tools, research, innovation, training and education, dissemination and communication, sustainable measures and reporting, cultural routes, and sustainable tourism.
We would be happy to explore potential cooperation opportunities with you.
Kind regards,
Gabriela Popova

– Capacity to enhance rural, cultural, natural and religious heritage as strategic assets for sustainable territorial development;
– Strong relationships with municipalities, local communities and businesses, supporting the effective implementation and dissemination of project activities and results.

We are particularly interested in project topics related to:

– The development of an integrated and sustainable tourism itinerary connecting the Ionian and Tyrrhenian coasts of Basilicata, linking coastal destinations with rural and inland areas and enhancing the region’s natural, cultural and religious heritage.

Within the MMM framework, GAL La Cittadella del Sapere would welcome the opportunity to contribute to project proposals addressing these topics and to cooperate with Mediterranean organisations in the development of sustainable and transferable tourism models.

Dear Pija, we are interested in scaling your solutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. SKRIPTA brings a strong combination of research, local governance, social inclusion, gender equality and climate adaptation expertise, together with established networks across municipalities, public institutions, CSOs and communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Our team has contributed to the development of an Action Plan within a broader social sector strategy, supported monitoring, evaluation and learning for strategy implementation, and worked extensively on gender equality at local level, including cooperation with women’s and gender-focused CSOs.

We also bring experience in climate change adaptation, including analysis of impacts on river basins and support to municipalities in jointly identifying and developing cross-jurisdictional solutions. This gives us a strong understanding of how environmental pressures, local development, governance and community resilience intersect.

SKRIPTA offers strong research, stakeholder mapping and policy analysis capacities, alongside deep experience working with municipalities, public institutions, civil society and community actors. Our networks provide access to local governments and relevant public-sector stakeholders across Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Through SKRIPTA IdeaLab in Sarajevo, we provide a dedicated space for facilitated dialogue, co-creation, stakeholder engagement and participatory design. We convene diverse actors, facilitate complex discussions, support networking and translate research findings into practical, locally grounded action.

For this project, SKRIPTA could contribute to research, inclusion and gender analysis, climate-resilience dimensions, stakeholder mapping, community and CSO engagement, local government cooperation, co-design of interventions, facilitation, capacity building, networking, and monitoring and learning.
