BOLSTER project: WP4 Impact assessment discussion data.

The data contains group meeting discussions reports. The interviews were implemented as part of the research project BOLSTER - Bridging Organizations and marginalized communities for Local Sustainablity Transitions in EuRope.
The meeting participants are representatives from the community groups in the seven targets regions covered by BOLSTER. These regions include: Halle (DE), Silesia (PL), Istria (HR), Praova (RO), Leon (ES), Starat Zagora (BG), Hainaut (BE).
One or two meetings with community/ Multi Actor Forum (MAF) representatives have taken place during December 2024-May2025 to discuss view on outcomes and impact of the Bolster project activity. The groups attending the meetings have been the ones following the project activities and involved or benefited from it. The group discussion aimed to capture the views of MAF (Muli-Actor Forum) and community members regarding: progress towards their collectively defined Vision; shifts in awareness, acceptance of transition processes, and levels of community confidence. Further, insights were gathered from Local Just Transition Alliance (LJTA) members on the perceived value and effectiveness of BOLSTER activities (e.g., meetings, visioning sessions, workshops, community initiatives), the impact of these activities on local and regional decision-making related to Just Transition, social cohesion, and the representation of marginalised voices.<br><br>
