Our common future
On Austria’s initiative, a Europe-wide cooperation project on the future of LEADER was launched and carried out. The conclusions are summarised in the booklet „The New LEADER Added Value“. Further information derived from this can be found in the leaflets „THE LEADER ADDED VALUE“ and „COMPREHENSIVE RESILIENCE BUILD-UP WITH 83 LEADER REGIONS“
THE NEW LEADER ADDED VALUE
The brochure sets out the conclusions drawn from the transnational LEADER cooperation project „OUR COMMON FUTURE“, a collaboration between Local Action Groups (LAGs) from Austria, Luxembourg, Portugal and Bulgaria, and associated LAGs from Sweden, Finland, France, Spain, Latvia and Italy. The aim of the project was, following a successful history of over 30 years of LEADER/CLLD as a form of participatory regional development, to develop new prospects for the future and to explain why the LEADER approach, as a citizen-centred policy instrument, is particularly relevant right now. How can we better engage with people in rural areas once again and increase acceptance of the need for change?
