Already participants at our first two seminars are sharing ideas for what might come next. We are clear that our seminars must inspire action as we don’t ever want these events to become mere talking-shops.

After our seminars on over-tourism called Destination Liverpool Tourists vs Residents? we continued the conversation and have taken part in international events connected with the work Engage started in Liverpool. Sadly the partnership we intended to form with Marketing Liverpool never materialised. However the seminar page contains a plethora of valuable articles published about the topic, as well as a podcast made in Copenhagen which explores the initiative Engage took in Liverpool.

So the first sharing is an article from the Guardian shared by one of the participants about the tension in the city of Hamburg between the demands to build more affordable homes and the need to protect and enhance the green environment. You can read it here:
