As part of the programme of the Interreg Annual event, held between Gorizia and Nova Gorica last week, a number of projects implemented and/or managed by the EGTC GO were also shared with delegates from all over Europe.

On Friday 28 March, several sessions focusing on different topics were held, followed by study visits. EGTC GO participated in the sessions The People-to-people recipe | Combine smart ideas, small funds and simple rules to get smiling faces! and How Interreg is enhancing Cross-Border Health.

Within the first thematic cluster, project manager Micaela Passon presented the SPF GO! 2025 Small Project Fund in the cellar of the Castagnevizza monastery. Representatives of two SPF projects,Walk2Spirit and Wines of Friendship and Peace, both linked to this place, then presented their activities.

In the same afternoon, another study visit began at the Basaglia Park in Gorizia with a presentation by the EGTC GO project manager Lara Devetak and with a greeting by the director of the ASUGI health authority Antonio Poggiana. The participants were introduced to the Interreg Salute-Zdravstvo project of the EGTC GO, which ended in 2022. Inside the Basaglia Park, the study visit participants were able to discover the Women's, Child and Adolescent Health House and the spaces dedicated to the autism project, both part of the aforementioned project. One group also visited the maternity ward of the nearby Šempeter hospital: the renovation of the premises and the purchase of new equipment were also financed by the ITI Salute-Zdravstvo project.
