For the past three weeks the Programme had organised information seminars on its 2^nd call in six towns in Latvia and Lithuania, and three seminars on the implementation of already approved projects. To visit nine different towns our team had driven over 2500 km. Thanks to all 425 who attended our seminars. Now we are looking forward to well prepared project applications and well implemented projects!

Three seminars on project implementation
