Conference


SYNERGY 2007


Towards international co-operation in rural tourism training

On the 25th and 26th of September 2007 the conference SYNERGY 2007 took place in Fuzesgyarmat, Hungary. It was an initiative of the Rural Tourism International - Training Network in co-operation with ECEAT, Eurogites and Euragro. The event was subsidized with a Leonardo valorization grant.
For this event former Leonardo projects which developed training materials for rural tourism training were invited. The idea was to establish co-operation among these projects and to exchange project results. Before this, an investigation to former Leonardo projects has taken place. Download here the results of this investigation.
The program was well balanced, giving good information and leading to direct results.
