Railways connect people, regions and businesses across Europe and are part of our European heritage and culture.

Our meeting was therefore held during the 12th edition of the Model Railway Exhibition in our city, in an

unusual – but absolutely fitting – way.

1.     Day 1 : 09/09/2022 – Let’s model a greener and more sustainable Europe together/ – The opening day of the XIIth

Model Railways Exhibition and Twinning Meeting saw the start of a major programme of events for all ages in

the city. The theme of the three-day event was created to promote travel by train and environmental awareness.

The XIIth Model Railway Exhibition was open to the public for three days.

2.     Day 2: On 10/09/2022, the previous day’s Let’s model a greener and more sustainable Europe together continued

with a full-day conference involving civil society to answer questions such as “Where is Europe’s rail network

heading? What are the future opportunities for rail as a mode of passenger and freight transport?

3.     nap : 11/09/2022 – On the final day of the Twinning Meeting we made a joint visit to Ipolytarnóc by train. At the

final discussion forum we sought answers to questions such as. How can we achieve the objectives we have set so far?

The final technical forum was devoted to the implementation of cross-border development plans, the development of

environmental infrastructure, the protection of environmental assets and the provision of information to the general

public. The three-day technical programme concluded with a synthesis of experiences and common objectives.

Dissemination activities:

The dissemination of our project and the results of our cooperation at European level was ensured by our partners.

The Dissemination

– on social media

– local, regional media,

– project film of the event,

– a twinning website.

Citizens from different countries of the European Union, different cultures have enriched our cooperation.

Our municipalities have social media platforms, websites, local newspapers, and thanks to their network of

contacts we have been able to involve media actors with a wider reach in the wide dissemination of the

project results.

By focusing on sustainable, greener development, but also on engaging in shaping a shared future, we have

communicated our natural values and a strong European desire for climate protection and natural values, both

during the preparation and implementation phases.

Through our dissemination activities for the event, we were able to involve around 5,000 indirect participants in the

project. 2,500 people visited in person one of the events of the XIIth Model Railway Exhibition and Twinning.

Agenda of the event:

1.     nap : 01/07/2022 – On the opening day of the twinning meeting, a citizens’ forum on Sustainable Urban

Development was held, where environmental sustainability, alternative transport options and the use of renewable

energy were discussed. The problems and objectives specific to the region were jointly formulated with

the delegation.  Members of the delegations from the twin towns and cities gave interactive presentations on trends

in their respective areas, with interesting examples of sustainable development.

2.     nap: 02/07/2022 – As part of Sustainable Settlement Development, local small-scale producers were presented as

living and working micro-farms, important local representatives of environmental sustainability and ecological

security. The subsequent brainstorming session continued the previous day’s discussion topics, with prominent local

experts and activists. The delegations presented their projects, with specific reference to local sustainability formulas.

3.     nap : 03/07/2022 – In the framework of the Sustainable Urban Development, the twinning delegation visited the

Nyírjes Wildlife Garden and Wildlife Park, and then held a joint meeting to present “good examples” and new

initiatives in the region.

The meeting was accompanied by a high quality Arts Festival programme.

Dissemination activities:

The dissemination of our project and the results of our cooperation at European level was ensured by our partners.

The Dissemination

– on social media

– Local, regional and national media,

– project film of the event,

– a twinning website.

Citizens from different countries of the European Union, different cultures have enriched our cooperation. Our

municipalities have social media platforms, websites, local newspapers, and thanks to their network of contacts we

have been able to involve media actors with a wider reach in the wide dissemination of the project results.

By focusing on sustainable, greener development, but with the aim of engaging in shaping our common future, we

have communicated the need for intercultural dialogue, the need for a strong European commitment to democracy,

freedoms, culture and our natural values, as well as to climate protection and natural values, both during the

preparation and implementation phases.

Our project has been characterised by the strengthening of trust between citizens and the European Union’s

institutions and decision-makers. At a time of Euroscepticism, this innovative approach (let us, together, shape the

future of Europe) has hopefully been well received. Through our dissemination activities for the event, we were able

to involve around 5,000 indirect participants in the project. 2,500 people attended in person one of the Twinning

events.
