The workshop " Regional Development and Quality of Life” took place last 15 and 16 July 2013 in the brand new house of the mountains in Berchtesgaden.

During a day and a half, participants had the opportunity to exchange all together on the content of a future project concerning regional development in alpine rural areas (and in protected areas too), taking into account concepts like "sobriety", "degrowth" and "post-fossil society".

This workshop, co-organized by CIPRA and ALPARC prepares the 2014’s work of the Alpine Network of Protected Areas on this thematic priority
