A bit later than anticipated, but here is finally my new post :). The last weeks we (all of the Eco City Staff) organised our concluding symposium. The event was a great success; we received between 200 and 300 guests, most of which were government officials from different Municipal and Provincial State Bureaus.
There were a range of presentations from national and international experts, which had/ have been involved in the Programme's activities. I reckon that everybody had a great time and I was lucky enough to have an interesting discussion with a representative from the German Embassy (you never know J ).
Last Thursday we had another meeting, this time more a kind of an evaluation workshop. However, this time it was my turn to present my findings on the Focus Group discussions I held among the residents/ end- beneficiaries of our Eco City Programme. Although, both these events were interesting and stimulating I am happy that all is over now.
The Chinese "Golden Week" is coming closer, which means that I will be enjoying a well-deserved one-week holiday! I am leaving with two friends to Xiamen, which according to an Indian friend I met in Harbin is the most relaxing city in China. I am very much looking forward to being there and I will definitely inform all of you on my experiences in the next posting!
Before I leave you to your own " Koninginnedag " I attached some photos of the old city of
I give you a lot of love and hope that everybody is looking forward to a beautiful summer!
