About the project
2024-2128 YOUTH 2.0
The LAG board has chosen to prioritize umbrella project YOUTH 2.0 with approval to respond to the enormous demand that exists. The umbrella project leads in its entirety to goal fulfillment according to the local development strategy, as the sub-activities initiate networking and business development.
The LAG board believes that the umbrella project YOUTH 2.0 is good for supporting youth ideas. In the long run, it attracts more applications for leader projects.
