Each Interreg project starts with an idea how to tackle a particular challenge or exploit an arising opportunity by working together across borders. At every stage of a project lifecycle, the involved partners talk about their project to other partners, to their target groups, to the Programme bodies. Representatives of 50 Interreg projects met in Tallinn in mid-November to learn how to talk about their project to be better heard and understood.

Interreg projects can only have a real impact on the Baltic Sea region if those working in the projects succeed in involving their respective target groups into the project activities. We share some tips from your peers in Interreg projects on how to do this.
