The Nordic-Baltic Leader Cooperation Award Event
Celebrating Leader Transnational Cooperation in the Nordic-Baltic Countries!
In 2013, the seven Rural Network Support Units from the Nordic-Baltic Region - Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden - initiated the Nordic-Baltic Leader Transnational Cooperation (TNC) Awards.
During April and May 2013, a total of 60 applications were collected from the participating countries and on 6th June 2013 in Roskilde an Evaluation Committee selected 21 finalists in five categories. On 27th August 2013 a jury gathered in Helsinki and selected the best Leader TNC project in each category.
|
To highlight the importance of transnational cooperation for rural development in the Nordic-Baltic countries an Awards Gala was organised on 26th September 2013 in Estonia. The main organiser of these events is the Estonian Rural Network Unit.
The GALA brought together Local Action Groups, National Rural Network Support Units, Managing Authorities, representatives of the European Commission and other rural actors from different countries. Each of the 21 projects selected had representatives at the Awards Gala.
This is the highlight of our programme! During the Awards Gala the five awards for Leader transnational cooperation projects will be presented.

Summary: |
The project like its name „Loving local values“ focused on valuing local products and food in the district of Development Centre (LAG Arenduskoda) and Kymenlaakso county in Finland, where it involved the municipalities - Kouvola, Hamina, Kotka, Miehikkälä, Pyhtöö, Lovisa, Virolahti and Iti.
Related to the goals and activities the focus of the project was to enhance cooperation between people who are active in the field of local food, rural tourism and handicraft to help them design their products and services, add extra value and arrange better marketing. The main focus was on food products!
We have mapped the food producers in both regions (in Estonia and Finland), started common discussions between them and planned follow-up projects.
The other important focus of the project was rising awareness about local and healthy food. Local food consuming is directly connected with the awareness of consumers. Through the open food days in regions everybody could participate for example in food cooking contests an also in the topic-related seminars. |
