Project "LCL"

Local Community Leaders project is implemented within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme. The topic of this project is the cooperation between experienced community leaders over 50 and possible future ones, making emphasis on the need to rethink and recognize the role of older people and their crucial contributions to the local community.

The main objective of the project is the encouragement to improve the community development by increasing the number of well- -prepared local leaders among people over 50. In order to reach our objective, we will provide training for current and potential community leaders focused on increasing their knowledge and skills, we will promote the emergence of new community leaders through mentoring, and we will encourage local community leaders to share their experiences, best practices as well as active networking.

Our project is directed to two main target groups. On the one hand, current and potential local community leaders over 50. On the other hand, community centres, NGOs, initiative groups, charities as well as local, regional and national authorities.
