The 36 Jó Palóc PbO and their partners involved in rural development created a thematic network under the project, which set its goal to take up the values and traditional products of disadvantaged regions.

The topics directly connected to the competition's syllabus were the presentation of national flavours and a diverse Europe, showing up common human values, the facilitation of communication between generations and the sharing of experiences in the field of rural development.

All along, the implementers put emphasis on the preference that the participants not hear about the topics only at conference talks. As a result, every event was complemented by seminars, workshops, tours of institutions, presentations of suggested practices by Leader and cultural events. It is viewed as an important achievement that the participating organizations, thanks to their exceptionally good professional and personal relations, were already thinking about future project proposals before the completion of the program in order to keep up their relations and to maintain our achievements. As a finishing act, a six-party cooperation agreement was signed between the nations and partners, giving us a guideline for our future cooperation.

We can safely say that the level of cooperation between the trade associations, civil society organizations and city councils was outstanding along the two year process of realization. Thus, the six collaborating Leader organizations built up relations and cooperation not only among themselves but between their members and patrons.
