Project Duration: 01.02.2017 - 31.10.2018

Project call: 1st call
This project aimed to improve living conditions and the environment in deprived communities by equipping social spaces and increasing involvement in community activities. The objective of the project was to improve the living conditions in Biržai and Nereta municipalities by promoting the employment of social groups: youth, working-age community members and seniors.
Implemented activities generated long-term results. New social spaces were created in the municipalities of Biržai and Nereta: Biržai has new Skate park and the sports hall of Nereta scholl is renovated, the hall is modernised. The premises now are used for all population groups and not only for sporing activity – it also hosts community meetings. After the installation of the Skate park in Biržai the active leisure activities for youth were promoted, as well as a closer relationship with the family or elderly people, because young people are encouraged to visit the Skate park not only with their peers. Trainings and events forged a closer link between the communities, motivate and encourage the social involvement of the residents.
As distance between Birzai and Nereta is relatively small and both municipalities face similar problems, cross border cooperation approach was the best one to use for promotion of social inclusion and cooperation.
