Engaging Stakeholders at the GBS Multiplier Event in a Wine-Growing Region

On 12 October 2025, blinc organised its national multiplier event at the Knapp Hof in Obersulm, a family-run wine and fruit estate situated in one of the region’s traditional agricultural landscapes. The event was embedded in a local thanksgiving celebration coordinated by the church community, allowing blinc to reach a wide audience, including older adults and several families active in regional wine and fruit production.

After the community gathering and musical contributions from local children, blinc introduced the GBS project and presented the key tools and materials developed throughout its implementation. Visitors then had the opportunity to engage with the content, ask questions and exchange views on sustainability, entrepreneurship and the changing conditions faced by local agricultural businesses.

Discussions with wine-growing families highlighted both ecological and economic pressures, including climate-related challenges and shifting markets, and showed how the GBS tools can stimulate reflection on new approaches. Several attendees expressed interest in using the project materials for further orientation and idea development.

The event demonstrated strong local relevance and provided valuable insights into the needs and perspectives of rural stakeholders.
