From 7 – 9 June, on Crete, Greece, the conference “Animation of rural development – a new profession?” took place. The conference was organised as part of a European project aimed at the development of a new masters programme for rural animators.
Katharina Trabert from smARTourism participated and contributed with a reflection on unconventional professional profiles with an artistic background in regional development processes.

On the conference website you can find the rich and interesting programme and abstracts of the speakers.
