The gathered were welcomed by the hosts of the Nowa Ruda-Broumov region: Mr. Tomasz Kiliński - Mayor of Nowa Ruda and Mr. Arnold Vodochodský - Starost of Broumov.

After a short break, the participants of the meeting, together with Mr. Sławomir Drogoś, Director of the Municipal Public Library, went to the Museum of Printing and Polygraphy, which was established thanks to the implementation of the micro project. After visiting the museum and the exhibition, the participants took part in a study walk around Nowa Ruda, led by Ms. Elżbieta Bisikiewicz from the Nowa Ruda Tourist Information. The walk included a presentation of investments implemented thanks to cross-border cooperation, such as: educational paths, walking trails, an outdoor cinema at the Municipal Cultural Centre, a revitalized park in which a symbolic place of Polish-Czech friendship was created - a set of trees planted by 18 project partners from Poland and the Czech Republic.
