On 21 June, we held the second workshop in Sárisáp as part of the RurALL co-creation process. The atmosphere was full of energy and openness, and we were delighted to welcome several new participants to the group.

Together, we created a local value map, exploring what matters most to the people of Sárisáp and how these values can guide a climate-resilient rural future.
