Now comes the third edition of the Swedish Newsletter!
In it we report from the first three transnational project meetings at the House of Europe of Rhodes (Greece), with the Schumann Foundation in Warsaw (Poland) and at the Europahuset Gävleborg (Sweden). At the same time you can find other activities that have taken place in Sweden related to the project idea.

The project activities are disseminated. After the (1st) transnational meeting in Rhodes results and experiences are used to be dissemniated and used back in the participating countries.
Here is an example from the Netherlands:

Don’t judge wrongly. Although the people in the steering committee screenshot seem liked bored to death but we were actually more than enthusiastic as we did plan for our first transnational meeting in our project as the pandemic seems to give us the opportunity to travel again after the summer break.
Our recent handed-in progress report got back very positively from the German NA. As we showed even though we were pretty limited by the pandemic and this in the kick-off period of this project we still managed to initiate activities and delved into our chosen topic.
Now, we can start and plan the next steps. Push your thumps that we will really be able to meet in September to intensify our project.
The Swedish friends from the Europahuset Gävleborg did produce a newsletter with different Q&As with partners of our joint projekt. A nice way of keeping the bond in the pandemic and reconsider issues of the project. Thus, we keep in people involved in the project and keep on thinking about our goals and the incentives why we do this project. Well done, Sweden, nice commitment. Just click the pic for the downlodable PDF version of the newsletter.

A group of inhabitants from Bolsward and the surrounding area founded the second Frisian foodcoöperation. It is called Buurtmarkt Eco-erf Bolsward. They now have 20 members. The aim of the Buurtmarkt is to mainly consume locally what is locally produced.
At the moment nine producers of various products, such as bread, cheese, eggs, vegetables, meat and dairy are involved. They sell their produce straight to the members of the coöperation. Each week members can order what they want. On Saturday morning the producers bring this to a central point, where volunteers divide the products for the members.

On the 26th of April run a seminar about European interaction as a part of the project Green Initiatives in Rural Areas, GIRA.
The seminar had two experts to give knowledge and inspiration about possibilities with common projects in Europe.
Staffan Nilsson, a former member of EU:s Economical and Social committee, EESK, chairman of the organization Rural Sweden and also former chairman of European Rural Communities Alliance talked about what has been done and can be done for local development when you come together in European collaboration. Staffan gave examples from out of Europe including the start of “Rural Europe” which is a gathering that now has been done 4 times.
Karsten Lucke, vice chairman of European Network for Education and Training, EUNET, working at the Europahaus Marienberg and leader of many EU projects talked about different projects that he and EUNET has been involved in. For example, he mentioned a youth project called Camp Democracy which gave young people from Germany, Romania, Greece and Sweden a possibility to meet and discuss their ideas for the future. Another project he mentioned was READ IT, a project regarding rural development where engaged adults from 6 countries had meetings and learned from each other. Karsten gave focus on the possible of personal development you have as a participant in projects but also the organizational development that comes with collaborating in European project.
The seminar in April had 14 participants and Europahuset Gävleborg will run a second seminar at the end of May. That seminar will include knowledge about the work within the Committé of Regions in EU and about new possibilities in the framework of EU-funded projects and Swedish national funding of projects.
