The first conference within the framework of the NEWLOCAL project was held.

As a part of the NEWLOCAL project, the First project conference was organized on May 10th 2024, in Celje, Slovenia.

During the conference, on which 50 people were present, the consortium had a chance to showcase everything done until now in the project, all the findings and best practice.

At the end of the conference a very interesting debate was held about interactivity in media and local media and their presence on the market – advantages and disadvantages.
