Project: “A green, socially sustainable and digitally integrated Nordic-Baltic Region 2021-2022”
The main goal of the project is to promote green growth, sustainability and empower CSOs in the Nordic-Baltic region by reaching the SDGs and regional cooperation in building the green future of the region.
This project aims to increase knowledge of NGO representatives, young adults and others stakeholders working with vulnerable groups about UN SDGs in the context of globalized world, as well as enhance their capacity to be agents of change and their engagement towards achieving greener and sustainable lifestyles in their daily activities.
Besides main goal, we aim to create a thematic international network of Nordic-Baltic actors and increase the competence of project target groups and partner organizations on sustainable development in general and on cross-cutting themes of Agenda 2030. In addition, we aim to empower and emphasize the role of NGOs as active and important change makers in the field of sustainable development by increasing their capacity and co-operation opportunities.

Totally in the project activities directly will take part 115 participants from five countries: Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
All partners will act as the change maker/facilitators of the network, as it will further enhance the network and make it a well functioning and solid platform on sustainable development and strengthening CSOs cooperation within the priority areas of the programme.
