Kick-off meeting with cognitio Kommunikation & Planung GmbH

11 December 2025

Here we go! This week, we had our kick-off meeting with cognitio Kommunikation & Planung GmbH to discuss the planning of our learning and experience locations.

Thanks in part to funding from the EFRE/JTF programme in North Rhine-Westphalia, we are able to create special experience locations on the Pader for anyone interested.

The measure is intended to improve the tourist accessibility of the unique Pader river landscape in the long term and make it more accessible from a cultural, historical and ecological perspective in a European context.

Specifically, this will be achieved through a combination of experiential and experimental locations at points of natural and cultural-historical importance from the source to the mouth of the river. Components include a new, bilingual signage system to guide visitors and a central Pader information centre in the city centre.
