St. Quentin Network Meeting

Residents of the Future had the Saint-Quentin Transnational Meeting this April.

The period of the 2nd Quarterly Report included the transnational meeting (TNM) that happed and Saint-Quentin, France. This TNM was planned to be dense in content, to prepare cities for being more ready to work at local level.
At this period, we also had a significant work at URBACT Local Groups (ULGs) level. Cities started their journey on ideation and testing actions.
The project communication is now very active, with a strong presence on the social media!

The Transnational Meeting that took place in Saint-Quentin was the first of the Implementation Phase. Being located from the point of view of the cities' journeys at such a strategic moment, this meeting was especially dense on content, also having a strong incorporation of visits to case studies identified as good practices and which the city of Saint-Quentin presented to partner cities.

Following contents were part of the transnational meeting agenda:

  • Remote Work & Digital Nomads
  • Economic Diversity and Growth
  • Testing Actions
  • How to implement a Hackathon

The themes of Remote Work and Digital Nomadism were worked through a logic of discussion of partners' ideas and experiences, using the Unconference methodology, through which participants chose from a bank of questions which ones were most important for them to see discussed. Within the agenda of the Saint-Quentin meeting there was a training session dedicated to the theme of Economic Diversity and Growth. Economic development is one of the factors that greatly influences a city's ability to retain and attract residents. This training session was led by lead expert Tiago Ferreira.
