The Umbrella project was meant to be exactly that – an umbrella to gather other projects and a way to connect people through cross-border projects. It was aimed at newcomers who had not yet been involved in projects in the South Baltic Programme. These included small local and regional organisations with an interest in developing a South Baltic identity.
Three years have passed since Umbrella was approved by INTERREG South Baltic Programme and launched by the partnership. This project was needed since research showed that the South Baltic Programme was still poorly available to small organizations because of insufficient institutional and financial capacities, communication barriers, lack of English language skills, lack of competencies and capacities for project development and implementation.
Dear Umbrella Partners and Beneficiaries,
We are more than happy to say, that our UMBRELLA Interreg South Baltic Programme project final conference was a great success. Over 100 people joined us online via ZOOM webinar to hear about our project results, to learn about the EUSBSR, SDGs and EU Green Deal, but also to discuss the future cooperation possibilities in the MFF 2021-2027.
Dear Umbrella’s beneficiary,
On behalf of the Association of Polish Communes Euroregion Baltic as Lead Partner of
Umbrella Project and on behalf of the whole project partnership, we would like to invite you to
our final conference. Three years have passed since Umbrella was approved by INTERREG
South Baltic Programme and launched by the partnership.
This project was needed since research showed that the South Baltic Programme was still
poorly available to small organizations because of insufficient institutional or financial
capacities, communication barriers, lack of English language skills, lack of competencies
and capacities for project development and implementation.
What observed in the frame of the South Baltic Programme could be generalized also for
other European grants and other local cross-border cooperation opportunities in the South
Baltic Sea area.
The overall objective of the project was to initiate a process of the capacity building involving
small municipalities, NGOs and other local/ regional organizations in order to transfer them
knowledge and capacities, and to include them in the current cross-border cooperation
networks. Today we can finally state that we’ve achieved over expected results and we would
like to share them with you.
