The following LEADER Projects are seeking transnational cooperation partners:

Project:
Involving the population in art projects to increase environmental awareness.

Objective:
Through art projects, we want to engage the public in environmental awareness and action and help the population understand its relationship with the environment, the territory and local know-how.

We are looking for partners to organize events with local and European artists in order to make people aware about the importance of preserving the environment, as well as to facilitate public art and environmental education.

Project:
On the way to sustainable district.

Objective:
To increase our skills in the development of eco-districts.

A project of eco-district is for the first time planned on our territory. We would like to share experiences on this thematic in order to develop and to promote exemplary projects, that could in the future be easily reproducible on our territory.

Project:
Water – an energy resource.

Objective:
To develop small hydraulics.

We are interested in using water as source of energy, that’s why we would like to exchange with other territories concerning this subject and more particularly on the development of small turbines.

Project:
Business Growth (Rural Denbighshire) for priority market sectors
