FOCUS ON
ACTION LAB
The Action Labs dedicated to the Managing Authorities (MAs) of the EUSAIR ETC Programs represent an operational step towards implementing the embedding process within the programs, connecting experiences, areas, needs, and procedures.
Initiated within the framework of the "EUSAIR Facility Point," a strategic project of the Interreg ADRION Program 2014-2024, they will continue in the 2021-2027 programming period within the framework of the "EUSAIR Stakeholder Engagement Point (StEP)," funded by the IPA ADRION Program and led by the Marche Region.
OUR IDEA
The ACTION LABs for EUSAIR ETC Managing Authorities (MAs) is a concrete step to put embedding into practice (and into programs) by connecting experiences, frameworks, needs, and procedures. It's one of the activities within the EUSAIR Facility Point and the EUSAIR Stakeholders' Platform.
The overall objective of the Action Labs is to share information and co-create embedding solutions by working in groups and networking so to bring MAs to think critically and work collaboratively.

THE METHOD
Action Learning approach is a process of insightful questioning and reflective listening. It tackles problems through a process of first asking questions to clarify the exact nature of the problem, reflecting and identifying possible solutions, and only then taking action. Questions build group dialogue and cohesiveness, generate innovative and systems thinking, and enhance learning results.
The overall objective of the Action Labs is to share information and co-create embedding solutions by working in groups and networking so to bring MAs to think critically and work collaboratively.

GOAL
Start an experimental path of exchange and collaboration between programmes on embedding and future implementation of the EUSAIR flagships by:
Promoting knowledge on 2014-2020 projects exclusively on four pre- identified flagships.
Clarifying how to refer to the flagships in the operational programmes;
Identify cross-references in different operational programs to contribute to the embedding of the EUSAIR into EU ETC programmes.

WORKING TOOLS
The working groups will have at disposal several activities such as:
- Thematic insights
- Data policy brief
- Sharing of projcet experiences and institutional best practices
-Experimental activities and brainstorming workshops.

PHASES
Working flow will be composed by following sections:
Kick off phase
Definition of thematic groups and their setting up

Implementing phase
Grousp activities, revision and presentation

Working phase
Continuation of working groups and institution of working Community.
