About the project
2025-205 YOUTH 3.0
The LAG board has chosen to prioritize umbrella projects YOUTH 3.0 with approval to respond to continued demand for these "checks".
The umbrella project as a whole leads to goal achievement according to the local development strategy, as the sub-activities initiate networking and business development.
The LAG board believes that the umbrella project YOUTH 3.0 is good for supporting young people's ideas. The sub-activities in the umbrella projects are appreciated by young people as the administrative burden is less than with large Leader projects. In this way, EU funds become more accessible to the residents of
Mountains.
