Abstract
The Working paper collects different reports and results of an ongoing European research project promoted by the Leonardo da Vinci- programme of the EU: Train to Local Agenda 21 Implementation. The project is to develop and test training products (courses and didactic materials) targeting the various professionals involved in LA21- processes.
