We were given the opportunity, as were all international
our participation, to have meetings with colleagues from other Geoparks, to
learn about their Geoparks' practices and management and how
we can leverage all this experience that has been developed in
Global Geoparks.

sustainable development. We exchanged views, participated in workshops and discussed
for future collaborations with other Greek and European Geoparks. We renewed
our appointment for March 2020 at the 45th Coordination Meeting
