Regional Workshops i. Upon consultation between Florida Housing and the Contractor, the Contractor shall be available to conduct regional workshops that have been requested by one or more local governments, not-for-profits, or community-based organizations. Unlike most local workshops, the regional workshops often involve more than one trainer and participants from more than one local government. The training topic is often a full day and may be a previously offered course.
Regional Workshops. The Client/Consultant Team shall conduct a series of seven regional workshops that explore how the future of the region can change assuming changes to the major drivers in each of the major issue areas. The public workshops are intended to be interactive with both physical maps and access to digital input and criteria. The Virtual Present and trend scenarios will be presented to the public along with options for other future alternatives. Workshop attendees will be able to assess possible alternative futures by interactively changing the priorities of drivers within a digital model and assess how the futures alter based on which major drivers are given more priority. Sample areas throughout the region will be selected and used to illustrate the differences in alternative futures. Small area plan sites will be selected based on their prototypical and versatile nature to other areas through- out the region and will represent the diversity of settlement (or preservation) found throughout the region. Following the Workshops, the results from the Workshops will be posted and additional feedback from the community will be gathered online through the use of the interactive website.
Regional Workshops. In the context of INRES Project, regional workshops were organized over the course of the project. The workshops were organized in Crete, in Samsø and in the Canary islands. The aim of the Workshops were to raise awareness and bring together key players and stakeholders from European regions (Crete, Canary Islands and Samsø), such as policy makers, technology experts and SMEs connected to RES in order to exchange experiences and best practices, create working groups and provide solutions related to RES existing and potential barriers. The event in Crete, held in March 10, 2010, was organised by the Cretan partners of INRES, with the participation of over 120 people representing business and industry, academia and the local and 3 Deliverable 2.4, Regional comparative Analysis 4 Deliverable 3.2 Report on Regional Workshops and Deliverable 3.3Report on inter-regional workshops regional authorities. In March 2012, a second regional event was organised for discussing JAP draft proposal. The event in Samsø was organized in 16 & 17 September 2010 by the Danish partners of INRES, with the participation of almost all energy business of the island, the authorities and some 360 local people. he event was repeated the year after on 8-9 October 2011, and it drew even more visitors. The events in the Canary Islands were organized in June 21, 2010 in Santa Xxxx de Tenerife (Solisticio Verde 2010) and June 21, 2011 in Las Palmas de Gran Canarias (Solisticio Verde 2011) by the Spanish partners with the collaboration of the Cluster of Renewable Energy, Environment and Water Treatment of the Canary Islands (RICAM). The Solsticio Verde event has clearly been consolidated as a reference to keep a living flame of discussion between the different stakeholders of the Renewable Energy sector. The excuse of using such a signaled date coincident with the Summer Solstice (June 21) as a representative date for most of the renewable energy sources is starting to be recognized within the regional sector in the Canaries.
