LEADER: creating places and services that strengthen solidarity between generations
The action supports social cohesion and intergenerational solidarity projects, with possibilities around basic services, mobility, digital and housing. Local authorities, associations and social impact enterprises are among the applicants mentioned. The LAG must confirm the area, eligible costs and financial arrangements.
This action aims to improve quality of life in municipalities by supporting places, services and initiatives that bring generations together. It may involve shared spaces, intergenerational events, pooling resources, local mobility solutions, tackling the digital divide or new forms of housing. The project must explain which residents will benefit and how it meets a need that is not sufficiently covered.
