  12. MAIN ACTIVITIES IN THE PROJECT

  13. OPEN-ENDED Discourse Visualization

  14. EFFECTS New perspectives & new discourses • From a traditional peripheral understanding focused on loss of population to a new peripheral concept envisioning ex-locals’ activities as cultural and social resources. These resources support regional re-branding and local development. Long-term effects • We truly wish this project to be a development project, which is open-ended and in constant movement.
