On April 14-15 we participated in a workshop held at UNESCO office in Venice as part of the SoilScape Project. Together with partners from various EU countries, we planned activities related to the establishment of 8 Soil Orchestras - platforms for cooperation between artists, soil scientists, representatives of local authorities, NGOs and cultural institutions. Soil Orchestras will be established in 8 countries: France, Poland, Finland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland and Bulgaria.
We would like to thank UNESCO Office in Venice for its hospitality and AFES - Association Française pour l'Etude du Sol for conducting the workshop.

The beginning of April is a busy time for our organisation. One of the activities was a visit to the Leski and Bieszczadzki districts (MAP Leski-Bieszczadzki, Poland) as part of the ESIRA Project. At the invitation of Iwona Woch from the Lokalna Grupa Działania "Zielone Bieszczady" our researcher Kasia Gizińska took part in a meeting for representatives of social organisations and local government, in particular for employees of environmental protection departments, about eco-initiatives that have the potential to be implemented in the Bieszczady area.
It was a fruitful, inspiring meeting, which provided an opportunity to introduce the ESIRA project and the European Rural Pact and to encourage participants to sign this declaration and pass the information on - to local authorities, local organisations and befriended institutions. In the course of the discussion, the idea of an innovative initiative within the social economy emerged, which can contribute to reducing energy poverty for vulnerable groups. We will be supporting this initiative with the tools made possible by the ESIRA project, so keep your fingers crossed for success!
The visit to the region was full of meetings with MAP members and participation in events that integrate local communities. It was also an opportunity to participate in a debate about a key industry in the region - forestry - and to visit Lidia Czarnecka from the Podkarpackie Social Economy Support Centre in Ustrzyki Dolne. It's good to immerse themselves in the study area, absorb the climate of the upcoming presidential elections in Poland, watch the Bieszczady Mountains slowly wake up to life after winter.
