Umbrella 1 – Developing Villages
The aim of the project is to give local associations and social enterprises the opportunity to test and implement ideas on a smaller scale that aim to promote community and social sustainability and improve the quality of life for residents. The aim of the project is to implement 2 sub-projects
About the project
Registration is closed. Future opportunities for smaller sub-projects will be available, stay tuned. If you have an idea for a larger project (>50,000 SEK) you can download a concept sketch and send it to kansli@upplandsgbygd.se then we book a consultation:
Umbrella 1- Developing villages is one of Upplandsbygd's umbrella projects. In umbrella projects it is possible to apply for support to implement sub-projects - this means less administration and faster decisions compared to running a project.
What can you search for?
The activities that implementing associations and social enterprises will work on are linked to thematic areas:
• Develop social entrepreneurship
• Innovative youth activities
• Innovative activities for the disabled
• Integration and targeted interventions for newly arrived people
• Develop non-profit work and inclusion work
Who can apply?
Organizations, such as companies and associations. It is an advantage if you collaborate with more organizations in other sectors.
When can you apply?
The application period for the project is from May 2023 to the end of August 2023.
