13 SEE projects will participate in the projects exhibition to take place in a boat in the Danube River in Budapest next Friday 21st September. This event, focused on European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) and the South East Europe Programme (SEE), will be open to general public from 10 to 16h and it will include apart from the exhibition, a press conference addressed to local media.

The SEE Programme joins in this way the other 76 Territorial Cooperation Programmes organizing more than 100 events during the week of 17-23 September 2012 to celebrate the European Cooperation Day and to make this EU initiative better known by citizens.

The idea of renting a boat in the Danube River comes from the fact that Danube is one of the best symbols of the SEE programme as an example of something uniting countries across the borders in one of the most diverse and complex transnational areas of the EU. Moreover, the European Commission has launched the Danube Strategy (www.danube-region.eu) as an opportunity to boost the development of the Danube Region.

On the other hand, the involvement of media will make the event arrive to a broader audience than the stakeholders and project partners, trying in this way to make aware to citizens of Territorial Coopperation in general and the South East Europe Programme in particular.
