The first round of the Foundation’s “Liepāja 2027” Community Programme has wrapped up, bringing support to twelve different projects.<\/p>
Launched in collaboration with Foundation “Fonds Initium” and backed by the Ministry of Culture and the British Council Representation in Latvia, this initiative has awarded a total of €10,800.<\/p>
At its heart, this Liepāja 2027 programme fosters a sense of belonging, encouraging residents to connect with their neighbourhoods, support one another, and take an active role in shaping their communities under the banner of “Neighbourliness”.<\/p>
The Community strengthening and support programme sparks life into the hearts of Liepāja, South Kurzeme, and Kuldīga regions, bringing people together to create thriving, connected communities. The programme will involve 12 associations and project authors.<\/p>
Using the principles of community art, participants throughout the whole land of (un)rest (Liepāja, South Kurzeme and Kuldīga regions) have explored creative and social tools to strengthen bonds, take care of their surroundings, and learn the art of collaboration. Monthly face-to-face training sessions and meetings have provided a platform for learning, discussion, and planning, equipping participants with the knowledge and confidence to turn their ideas into action, while also learning about potential opportunities for securing additional funding.<\/p>
After an inspiring first phase, where organizations pitched their ideas, a jury selected the projects to receive financial backing.<\/p>
Thanks to British Council funding, six additional projects will come to life.<\/p>
The Liepāja 2027 Community Programme is implemented as part of the “Neighbourliness” initiative, with funding from the Ministry of Culture, in partnership with Foundation “Fonds Initium” and the British Council Representation in Latvia.<\/p>
