The Lapland University of Applied Sciences hosted the first bilateral visit in the frame of the SOCENT SPAs project from the 20th to the 21st of March 2019. The topic of the bilateral visit was sustainable public procurement.
During the visit, the participants from Brandenburg visited the municipality of Kittilä, which last year published its first sustainable procurement strategy. Furthermore, participants got to experience firsthand, what a regional produce – focused procurement strategy tastes like while visiting the central kitchen in Sodankylä. During a workshop in the afternoon of the last day of the visit, all participants pondered how the lessons learnt in Lapland could be applied to Brandenburg and transferred to the Action Plan.
