The F:ACTS! project has developed an especialized training course on stakeholder involvement.

The course was carried out in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) during October, 22th, 23th and 26th. Several theoretical and practical issues regarding stakeholder involvement and process management were addressed, and different procedures and approaches were taught.

The course was taught by Esther Koopmanschap, from the Centre for Development Innovation-WUR and Vincent Tiel Groenestege, from the Dienst Landelijk Gebied. Both teachers have wide experience in broad planning contexts at local, regional and international level. Around 20 participants from the project partners attended the course, among them several members from the Land Laboratory, research group of the University of Santiago de Compostela.

Once again it was highlighted the importance of strengthening the skills and capabilities needed for increasing stakeholder involvement, something that agents in charge of promoting territorial planning activities lack more frequently than desired.
