Umbrella 2.0 launches its first event to raise awareness on the current “hot topics in the Baltic Sea Region”.
Thanks to the support of the Swedish Institute, Umbrella 2.0 project partners – Euroregion Baltic, Union of the Baltic Cities and BSSSC are planning to organise in 2021 a couple of events targeting the “newcomers” and bottom-up actors in the Baltic Sea Region.
After the Umbrella project’s success (Boosting cross-border cooperation capacities of local actors in the South Baltic Sea), Euroregion Baltic decided to propose a package of activities based on already tested actions to involve newcomers in the Baltic Sea Region.
Interreg South Baltic Programme seeks to stronger involve local, regional & non-governmental stakeholders as well as academia in the programming process. Euroregion Baltic, a Lead Partner of the ”Umbrella – Boosting cross-border cooperation capacities of local actors in the South Baltic Sea” project decided to become an active part of this process.
On 13th January 2021 Umbrella 2.0 project partners: Euroregion Baltic, Unione of the Baltic Cities and Baltic Sea States Subregional Cooperation met together with the Swedish Institute representative to officially start the activities in the new project. Read below to get to know our project better and familiarise with the activities we plan to offer to our beneficiaries in the Baltic Sea Region.
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.
