IVY Project Partner for the Interreg project "Central Mountains"
Support long-term cross-border cooperation in mountain areas to boost regional development and connections.
Foundation for Landscape Protection is looking for an IVY volunteer!
The volunteer will support the Interreg project “Central Mountains", under the Interreg Programme "Interreg Central Europe".
The objective of the Interreg project "Central Mountains" :
The “Central Mountains” project addresses the challenge of achieving a long-lasting, sustainable cooperation across borders in mountain areas through improved governance structures and processes that are critical for strengthening regional development and cohesion beyond borders. These structures for cross-border and transnational cooperation will support autonomous operation and continuous coordination, not working in the project cycles exclusively dependent on EU funding.
The project's innovation lies in the innovativeness of its transnational approach (Alpine Carpathian perspective) and outputs focused on governance structures. The main project's outputs: 1) joint, pioneer strategy for the Alpine-Carpathian mountain areas, followed by action plans for selected territories, 2) renewed and operational structures: Carpathian Sustainable Tourism Platform, new Alpine EGTC structure and Carpathian Civil Society Platform, 3) designing and piloting Cross-Border Functional Areas as a new governance instrument for long-term cross-border cooperation, 4) joint solutions to be applied in mountainous areas in CE and beyond.
The volunteer will be carrying out implementation and communication activities:
- Participation in meetings, both at partner level, regional, national and transnational level (participation in project meetings)
- Identification of brands on the Polish side to be included in the network, especially those with potential to attract young people
- Support in establishing cooperation along the Polish-Czech border, taking into account the need to include youth (directly or through organisations working with young people)
- Assessment of existing brands according to criteria relevant for young people
- Communication of project objective to young people, support in communication activities
- Support in the definition of crucial values for the House of Brands
- Identification of best communication channels for young people
