LEISURE and Cultural Activities

The mini-support is aimed at associations and organizations within our area that want to organize local leisure and cultural activities in rural areas. The purpose is to promote new initiatives and meeting places, as well as to preserve existing activities.

About the mini-support

New or preserving cultural and leisure activities are one of our mini-supports. With mini-support, the administration is less extensive and the decision-making process is faster compared to applying for Leader support for larger projects.

What can one apply for?

The mini-support is aimed at associations and organizations within our area that want to organize local leisure and cultural activities in rural areas. The purpose is to promote new initiatives and meeting places as well as to preserve existing activities.
