Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The aim with this study trip is to seek knowledge and experience directly from people who have been involved in preparing / establishing a regional park . We are especially interested in an area / projects that have clear strategic goals and approach towards the subject, f.x. how to handle local assets (landscape, cultural heritage, etc. ) and value creation, built upon those assets . Product development (products and services) built upon those assets is also something that we are interested in, etc. Also areas that are "partnership-minded" so to say .. i.e. where the inhabitants/stakeholders have been asked/offered to participate. We have also looked into the branding-work of Wales - so branding-work (built on analysis of area´s qualities/sense of place/etc) would be interesting. The group will consist of people from the 5 municipalities of Snæfellsnes; elected members of the town councils. Also persons from the farmers´ association, the tourism association and other project owners. We also would like to have some of our young people involved. So it will be a mixture of people coming from different "corners" and "fields" of our area. We hope that a visit like this would be inspiring, with a lot of learning, for our group.. Many of them have been working on this regional park project (the first in Iceland) for a while now, but no one has actually gone on a study trip to a regional park abroad. We also hope that our group will find it "a relief" to find out that many areas in other countries are in "the same shoes" as we are, dealing with same challenges, and that it is worth it, to be doing work like that. The partisipants will learn during their education study trip means to activate people to solve some of the problems themselves and to take responsibility of the environment and social wellbeing of the social community they live and work in. The partisipants will find out that by networking they can find entrepreneurship/work opportunities also in the rural areas. They learn to use nature as an environment but also as a source of material. They will get new contacts for their working life and their social wellbeing. The projekt will be videoed and photographed and shared to the partners using blog. The project aims to increase new skills for sustainable activities in rural aeras. Train people to start new green businesses.With entrepreneuship training for traditional vocational students, groups of local people and small entreprices in rural aereas. We will do need analyses for the target group and develope new course f.eks. using blended learning and develope a cerie of courses to the target group. All partisipants will enhance their knowledge and refine skills for ecological innovation, gain experience about other culture, practice how to travel, and gain new skills of communication through participation in workshops and courses. Overall these partisipants will have better understanding for what is needed in further educaetion in Snæfellsnesi.
