Just wrapped up the #EWRC workshop Healthy People are Happy People! Key takeaway: We need to shift from curing illness to preventing it. #BorderRegions can lead the way with innovative solutions & #CrossBorderCooperation. #HealthInnovation #PreventionIsKey #PublicHealth

🚧 #CrossBorderCooperation paradox: #BorderRegions that cooperate more report MORE obstacles, while those that cooperate less seem to be chill. 🤔 Is it like the more you talk, the more problems pop up? 😂 #RegionalDevelopment #EUChallenges #CooperationMatters #EUParadox

The 2024 #AEBR #CrossBorder School is happening tomorrow! This time it focuses on ‘Building Cross-Border Resilience’: 🔌 #energysecurity 🔐 Cross-border governance & #cybersecurity 🚧 Fencing, walling & defence awareness Watch it live on YouTube: youtube.com/live/I6oJT50H3…

Insightful session today at the #AEBR #CrossBorder School with Todd Hataley! He emphasized how 'Borders are all about relationships, and relationships really matter.' A great reminder that #CBC thrives on human connection. #CrossBorderCooperation #CooperationMatters

Building trust across borders has never been more vital! #CrossBorderCooperation isn’t just about policy—it’s about relationships. 67% of Europeans in border regions engage with neighbors = proving trust is key to success & security. Let’s invest in these ties! #Trust #CBC

🌍✨ Friday night thought: #CrossBorderCooperation is like a long-distance #relationship—sure, we speak different languages and have a few cultural quirks, but when we work together, magic happens! 💫 Let’s keep those bridges strong (and the passports handy)! #CBC #FridayFun

Brava to @ProvinceOverijssel for their initiative to bring citizens together to plant trees and create a healthier living environment! Imagine the impact if this would be organized in #CrossBorder cooperation with Germany, connecting neighbors and enhancing our environment! 🇳🇱🇩🇪

On the train today, I overheard the most charming #CrossBorder chat: two groups of elderly gents, each in their dialect. One asks, "Spreek je Twents?" The reply? "Nee, wij spreken Grenz. Wij zijn van Borkelo." A reminder that borders blend languages, lives, and culture.

Just wrapped up a project with #Winterswijk, tackling complex challenges of border-adjacent windmill parks on the 🇩🇪 side. This infographic shares best practices for municipalities facing similar issues. #CrossBorderCooperation is key to sustainable solutions! #RenewableEnergy

Starting the week with a smile (and a passport in hand)! #CBC is where dreams, languages, and "Is this in euros?" collide. Even with #BorderChecks creeping back into #Schengen, we keep solving puzzles, building bridges, and sharing biscuits.
