The project activities have been broken down into six Tasks (T), five of which are technical and one (T6) is for the management and reporting to the European Commission. Figure2 visualizes the project structure and the interconnections among the tasks.

Figure 2 : Project Structure.The project builds upon securing and maintaining support of local and national authorities (bottom) that will be involved with the project team in securing representative participation of the communities members in the community visioning process. In parallel, data will be collected and harmonized to profile the communities as they exist. Hard data ensuing from the community profiles and soft data ensuing from the community visioning process will be synthesized to develop local sustainability action strategies that outline the sustainability goals, targets and actions which are practical and socially acceptable.
