2nd Gathering of the Green Living Areas (GLA) Thematic Community

The ReMED project took part in the 2nd Gathering of the Green Living Areas Thematic Community, held in Barcelona on 28–29 May 2025.

Organized by the Green Living Areas Mission of the Interreg Euro-MED Programme, the event brought together more than 120 participants from across the Euro-Mediterranean region — including thematic projects, local authorities, policy-makers, and sustainability experts.

Over the course of two days, participants gathered at the Sant Pau Recinte Modernista to exchange knowledge, foster cooperation, and advance the Euro-Mediterranean green transition.

Day 1 featured a welcoming session and the ETU Forum, which spotlighted resilient territorial planning and citizen engagement. This was followed by the introduction of 5 new thematic projects and a series of interactive co-creation workshops designed to stimulate collaboration and joint solution development.

The day concluded with a creative team-building session that encouraged networking and strengthened community bonds.

Day 2 focused on capacity building and practical learning through parallel training modules covering communication strategies, project transfer, and innovative financing mechanisms.

In addition, thematic working groups addressed key topics such as green mobility, energy systems, spatial planning, sustainable finance, and community engagement.

As part of the ReMED team, we actively contributed to discussions and co-designed future actions aimed at supporting resilient Mediterranean territories. The event offered an excellent opportunity to build synergies with other thematic projects and to explore cross-fertilisation of innovative solutions.

This reaffirmed the importance of sustained collaboration among partners committed to fostering greener, more resilient, and inclusive Mediterranean communities.
