There was some nervousness among the summer school staff about how many invitees would eventually turn up, as only two confirmations had been received beforehand from the many dozens of invitations that had been sent out. By the beginning of the presentations approximately 10 participants had arrived, including officials from the Most municipal council and from Destinační agentura Krušné hory o.p.s. Unfortunately, almost all of them disappeared after the first 20 minutes, leaving only three local people with whom we could have a discussion afterwards. The summer school organisers will have to think about ways of including more local stakeholders and encouraging them to stay for the public discussion at future summer school presentations. | There was some nervousness among the summer school staff about how many invitees would eventually turn up, as only two confirmations had been received beforehand from the many dozens of invitations that had been sent out.

Unfortunately, it was probably the theoretical part of the presentations that dissuaded much of the local stakeholder audience from remaining, as this came first, but those who steadfastly remained were very interested in the results of our work and engaged in a long discussion with the students after the presentation. | Almost all students and university staff participated in the presentation when we explained in some detail the goals of the summer school, the methodology used, the tasks the students were set, and what their ultimate outcomes were in the form of possible strategies for the region for dealing with the localised challenges of the three pillars of sustainable development.
