Partnership is composed by 6 regions with different levels at developing, managing and promoting natural and cultural heritage in and around Greenways as well as an advisory partner, the European Network of Greenways with large experience and knowledge in the project field. The project intends to improve coordination among the different key actors; to develop governance systems to manage Greenways; to identify models and good practices for the protection and maintenance of Greenways; to identify financial instruments and funding for Greenways and to promote Greenways and product development. The interregional cooperation is essential in order to identify, exchange and transfer of practices among regions and, what is more important to plan and prepare specific Action Plans to integrate lessons learned from the interregional cooperation in regional policies programmes. OUR WAY will be the perfect tool to assist the partners’ territories to strengthen their policies, to enhance their regional development situation and to contribute to the preservation and promotion of natural and cultural heritage through Greenways.

It will contribute to valorise natural and cultural heritage through 7 comm campaigns, 9 newsletters, 1 presskit, 7 posters and final conference. A qualitative result is the well-coordinated through a network of actors that share information on needs, constraints and solutions about greenways and natural and cultural heritage. At partner level, every partner has already pointed out the main expected results: In Spain, action plan to be develop will serve to achieve the Strategic Planning to increase 2% for the nature tourism for 2019. In Ireland, they will establish a Regional Forum of Greenway Stakeholders to coordinate and communicate lessons from the project, tasked at considering new financial instruments for the development of 4 new projects on natural and cultural heritage in Greenways regionally and nationally. In Poland, they will dedicate a sub - panel for Greenways within smart specializations panels to improve the management of greenways in the region for better coordination of the key actors/stakeholders. The expected result of the projects developed under the activity of Greenway Panel is a creation of networked branded Greenway - Carpathian ecotourism product. In France, it is foreseen the capacity building of the stakeholders group for effective planning and management of greenways to be involved in site visits and the learning process; putting in place of new ways to use Greenways with public and private stakeholders; realizing the typologies of the activities and cultural and natural sites (leisure, sport, tourism) related to Greenways and their cartographies. In Bulgaria, the project will increase the capacity building of the stakeholders group for effective planning and management of greenways, raising aware among the wide public concerning the meaning the Greenways approach for their region. For Hungary, OUR WAY will help the region to develop the regional Action Plan identifying the tools, methods and relevant actors to contribute to the implementation of the ‘Treasures of Hortobágy Greenway’ while making the base to the future development of other thematic routes in the county according to cultural and natural assets. EGWA will raise awareness to public administrations of the interest of the greenways as a tool for protection and promotion of the cultural and natural heritage. They will be more aware about the need of the public and private partnership, and to cooperate with one another in order to improve management of the greenways, the opportunities for funding, and the tourism offer on Greenways for natural and cultural promotion.
