The second participatory session of the Gov4GreenMed Catalan pilot focused on prioritising local needs and shaping possible reuse and sharing initiatives for the territory
The Gov4GreenMed project held the second participatory session of its Catalan pilot in Taradell on 6th October 2026. The event is the continuing process launched in Tona to explore new opportunities for waste reuse and sharing in the municipalities of Tona and Taradell.
While the first workshop focused on identifying local needs, challenges and opportunities, this second session moved a step further: collecting and prioritising these needs and translating them into possible co-developed proposals for implementation. The session also opened the discussion on the governance criteria that could guide future reuse circuits in the pilot area.
Participants included representatives from local councils, local associations, schools, volunteers and citizens interested in contributing to more circular and collaborative practices in their municipalities.
During the workshop, participants discussed existing initiatives already taking place in Tona and Taradell, identifying experiences that could serve as inspiration for the Gov4GreenMed pilot or be connected to future actions. These included examples such as the reuse service for objects in good condition arriving at the local recycling centre, promoted by Mancomunitat La Plana, the second-hand and restored objects shop of Fundació Areté, and the self-organised network “No ho llenço, t’ho regalo”. Participants also identified other local practices, such as a volunteer network that shares second-hand healthcare material, as well as previous collaborations with initiatives such as ReparaTruck. These examples helped ground the discussion in the local reality and understand what is already working in the territory.
The session then focused on bringing the pilot idea closer to implementation. Participants worked together to explore which proposal could be developed, what local needs it could respond to, and what actors, spaces or resources would be needed to make it feasible.
This second workshop represents an important step in the participatory process, helping to move from diagnosis to more concrete ideas for action. Based on the contributions gathered, the project will now work to further define the proposal and continue involving participants in the follow-up of the pilot’s development.
Through this process, Gov4GreenMed aims to support the creation of new reuse and sharing circuits that respond to local needs and are built together with the people and organisations of the territory.
