Sestavljajo konzorcij, ki bo izvajal skupno predloženo zmagovalno CERV Programme aplikacijo.
Cilj je skupno sodelovanje v programskem obdobju EU do leta 2027 v skladu s skupno strategijo. S pomočjo 10 strokovnih srečanj, ki bodo izvedena v okviru projekta, želijo spoznati tradicijo in kulturo drug drugega. Želijo tudi dati prednost izgradnji osebnih odnosov med prebivalci mesta. Ključni cilj je vzpostaviti in razvijati družbene, gospodarske, okoljske in kulturne odnose v Evropi s sodelovanjem lokalnih oblasti in njihovih združenj, ki vključujejo podjetnike, nevladne organizacije in lokalne državljane. Vse to preko strokovnih delavnic, kulturnih in gastronomskih spremljevalnih dogodkov. Ocenile se bodo lokalne potrebe in zmogljivosti ter priložnosti, ki jih ponuja EU, predstavljene s tematskimi programi za mlade, srečanji, komunikacijskimi izobraževanji, poslovnimi forumi, civilnimi razpravami in javnimi družabnimi dogodki, ki vključujejo lokalno prebivalstvo. Vsaka občina bo zbrala predloge projektov in naredila seznam razvojnih projektov, ki jih nameravajo izvesti do leta 2027. To bo osnova za strategijo sodelovanja pri predložitvi skupnih vlog. Projekt bo ustvaril novo mrežo EU 6 držav, 6 občin ter številne nevladne organizacije in podjetja. Ta mreža bo imela vse zmogljivosti za pomoč regionalnemu razvoju, gospodarski stabilnosti, izboljšanju dolgoročne kakovosti življenja lokalnih prebivalcev ter zmanjšanju brezposelnosti mladih in negativnih migracij.

Ob pogledu na legendarne vrhove gore Říp in srednjeveške gradove srednječeškega višavja se rodovitna nižina Polabí sreča z romantičnimi soteskami iz peščenjaka Kokořínsko. Tu, na pobočju rta nad sotočjem dveh največjih čeških rek, Labe (češko: Labe) in Moldau (nemško: Moldau), že več kot tisoč let raste vinograd znamenitega vinograda Mělník. Starodavno kraljevo mesto Mělník se ponaša z edinstvenim vinom in dolgo, bogato zgodovino s številnimi spomeniki.
Grad, cerkev z gotskim stolpom z impozantno kostno komoro, skrivnostni podzemni prehodi, ki vodijo do edinstvenega vodnjaka, monumentalna mestna hiša, slikovita arkada v zgodovinskih mestnih hišah, umetniška galerija pri vratih, ki so varovala mesto pred vsiljivci in muzej na mestu kapucinskega samostana: vse je na dosegu roke in kot turist se je težko odločiti, kaj si naj najprej ogledajo.
Dogodek za začetek projekta je potekal v Gyöngyösu v okviru festivala Dnevi vina Mátra. Sodelujoča naselja so prispela v mesto v petek zjutraj, nato pa se je po rezervaciji nastanitve in kosilu ob 13.30 v slavnostni dvorani mestne občine Gyöngyös začela prva strokovna delavnica: predstavila so se sodelujoča mesta, nato je bil dogovorjen program in slovesno podpisana konzorcijska pogodba.

Gostujoča naselja so opisala razvojne smeri, ki se jim zdijo pomembne. Nato so se podrobneje pogovorili o dogodkih, ki jih pričakujemo v projektu: kaj se pričakuje na prireditvah, kakšne goste pričakujejo (npr. delegacija, mladinska skupina, pevski zbor / folklorni ansambel itd.). Vodje delegacij sodelujočih občin so se strinjali, da je treba med projektom razviti skupno strategijo razvoja.
