["LTPL00107","STRENGTHENING THE COOPERATION BETWEEN COUNTRIES AND PERFORMING JOINT ACTIVITIES FOR REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PREVENTIVE ACTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (LT-PL)","Probably in the last three decades, Europe and the whole world have been paying more and more attention to solving environmental protection problems and fighting with climate change. Most pollutants are generated in urbanized areas where the industry is developed and the population is concentrated. More and more water is used every year and the used water is discharged into the environment (mostly to surface waters). Wastewater discharged to surface water without treatment or proper control can pollute rivers and lakes, and even groundwater. The wastewater and rainwater in Alytus city are discharged to Nemunas River, in Suwałki city – to river Czarna Hańcza, which is the largest river of the Suwałki Region and a tributary of the river Nemunas. So, in both project cities wastewater is discharged to river Nemunas which finally flows into the Baltic Sea. The fewer pollutants get into the river, the clearer the sea will become. Therefore, the overall objective of the project is to reduce the pollution in discharged wastewater and to create an effective monitoring system for pollution control, especially for priority hazardous substances. That will be reached by cooperation between Lithuanian and Polish partners in dealing with the wide range of activities.\nA lot of attention is paid by project to improve wastewater management in private houses, which are not connected to the sewage network. Quite a big number of private houses are not joined into the sewage network systems. The number of such houses in Suwalki city is about 343, and in Alytus city – 643. Also, there are a big number of houses in the surrounding areas. The situation of local home sewage systems is not good, about 31 percent of wastewater is discharged to the environment without any treatment. The installation of automatic devices for sewage utilization and awareness raising activities (i.e. seminars, open-door days, publicity measures) will help to encourage the transportation of sewage from private houses to wastewater treatment plants by vehicles or implementation of local treatment. According to the preliminary calculations, the amount of pollutants less to be disposed of will be (per year): biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) – 14,4 tons, total suspended solids – 9,6 tons, total nitrogen (N) – 1,46 tons, total phosphorus (P) – 0,2 tons. \nIn the wastewater treatment plants of the Alytus and Suwalki cities the sludge, formed during the treatment process is composted using an anaerobic waste digestion system. During this process, biogas is produced, which is used to generate electricity. Later, the sludge is dried and finally used in agriculture. Thus, the project will also contribute to the promotion of the circular economy. The implementation of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system will help to control, monitor, and analyze wastewater treatment processes. This will increase the treatment effectiveness by 3 percent preliminary. That means fewer pollutants will be discharged to the surface water too. Also, that will impact the reduction of electricity consumption.\nAlso, an effective monitoring and controlling system of pollutants in the wastewater discharged to the sewage network will be developed. A methodology will be created and the necessary equipment (laboratory equipment, wastewater samplers, etc.) will be purchased for that purpose. That will help to control and prevent discharges of the increased pollutants into urban wastewater, especially of hazardous substances.\nThe project will be implemented by 2 partners. 1 partner from Lithuania (JSC “Dzūkijos vandenys”) and 1 partner from Poland (Water Supply and Sewerage Company in Suwalki). As the project is focused on improving the environment, all residents will benefit the most, especially the private houses resident of the Alytus and Suwałki regions. The project partner organizations professionals, ensuring stable and effective wastewater control and maintenance of treatment plants in Alytus and Suwałki cities will benefit as well. Also, more stakeholders will be involved in the project, such as environmental protection institutions, municipality administrations, etc.","2024-02-01","2025-07-31","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_1) Promoting environmental wellbeing","RSO2.7.

["LTPL00050","Improvement of green infrastructure in the urban areas in the cross-border region","The main problem occurring in the cities of Suwałki and Alytus is the insufficient area of green public places, the lack of their diversity, which negatively affects the resistance of these cities to climate change, the standard of living and health of their inhabitants.\nThe area of urban green areas in 2022 in Suwałki amounted to about 315 ha (in Alytus 274 ha), including 110 ha of organized greenery in Suwałki and about 90 ha in Alytus. These areas represent various functional forms: parks, squares, riverside boulevards, street greenery, flowerbeds, flower meadows and wastelands. These areas constitute only about 5% of the area of Suwałki and 6,9% of the area of Alytus, which is a problem especially in the areas of the urbanized center of both cities.\nAnother issue, apart from the insufficient area of green public places, is their unsatisfactory condition and, consequently, their low ability to perform important ecological functions for the benefit of both cities and their inhabitants.\nAccording to Resolution No. XLV/575/2022 of the Suwałki City Council of April 27, 2022 on the \"Study of Conditions and Directions for Spatial Development of the City of Suwałki\", the condition of urban green areas leaves much to be desired and requires urgent corrective action. At the same time, the study shows an increase in air pollution, as a result of an increase in gas emissions, with insufficient development of green areas as one of the factors posing a threat to the health of residents.\nWe are dealing with a particularly difficult situation in the highly urbanized center of Suwałki and Alytus. There is a large share of areas completely devoid of plants (roads, sidewalks, paved squares, buildings). The remaining space is filled to varying degrees with vegetation in the form of spontaneous vegetation and the so-called arranged greenery. The unsatisfactory state of urban greenery translates into the urban heat island phenomenon, which is particularly intense in the urbanized city center in Suwałki and Alytus. \nThe main objective of the project is to strengthen the protection and preservation of natural resources, biodiversity and the development of green infrastructure in Suwałki and Alytus cities. The main objectives of the project will be achieved through the following activities:\n\n\n\n1. Improvement of green infrastructure in cross-border region, increase of the amount of green and recreational areas in public places by creation of new parks in Suwałki and Alytus (The Garden of the Senses in Suwałki and Jasmine Park in Alytus). \nThe Garden of Senses will be created in Suwałki in the city center, between 24 Sierpnia and Tadeusza Kościuszki St., on the Czarna Hańcza River. The main task of the garden will be to influence all the senses of the recipients, so that it has a therapeutic and educational effect. The Garden of the Senses in Suwałki will be the first garden of this kind in the cross-border region. \nJasmine Park will be created in Alytus, near the main street of the city. The purpose of the park will be to create a sense of community, new social connections, increase the area's biological diversity and ecological impact on the environment. The aim of the park is to preserve the existing natural ponds, to establish multifunctional green spaces, pastel greenery will create habitats for small fauna. In the meadow you can observe not only flowering plants, but also various insects: ants, butterflies, dragonflies, bees.\n\n\n2. Nature protection in cities by introduction of solutions (in parks) increasing the absorption of rainwater and limiting the occurrence of flooding and also noise reduction.\n\n\n3. Preservation of biodiversity by planting in the parks in Suwałki and Alytus mature trees, protection of native species and removal of invasive species.\n\n\n4. Creating ecological corridors for animals, assembling shelter elements in parks in Suwałki and Alytus for insects/bees (the children from Dzukija School in Alytus and Care and Educational Institution in Suwałki will make homes for insects/bees on the common workshop), \n\n\n5. Increasing the ecological awareness of the PL-LT children by explaining them during common workshops that human activity has led to the extinction of thousands of species, which is why cross-border cooperation on the protection of nature and species that they do not know borders is so important, but also about the role of green areas in the cities, urban flora and fauna, climate change and pro-enviromental behavior.\n\n\n6. Exchange of experience and sharing the best practice among the employees of the administrations in the cross-border region – cooperation between the Road and Greenary Management in Suwałki and Department for Environmental Protection and Architecture and Urban Planning in Alytus Municipality – common workshops and trainings about the global nature of the environmental problems, climate change protection of native species and removal of invasive species in the cross-border region.","2024-02-01","2026-01-31","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_1) Promoting environmental wellbeing","RSO2.7.

["LTPL00108","Wisdom and growth for cross border communities","Cross-border communities are groups of people who live in different countries but share a common geographic and cultural region, face joint challenges, and search for joint solutions to ensure the wellbeing of their communities. These communities face unique challenges related to language barriers, cultural differences, and legal or regulatory issues. To promote growth and wisdom in cross-border communities, education and training programs should prioritize language proficiency, cultural awareness, digitalization, circular economy, entrepreneurship, and more.\n\nIn response to these challenges, the Alytus Jurgis Kuncinas Public Library (LP 1) and the Municipal Public Library Zofia Nasierowska in Ełk (PP2) plan to implement a joint Interreg project \"Wisdom and growth for cross border communities\" to develop public services, the cultural and emotional wellbeing of communities. The project will involve increasing activities, expanding public services provision, and exchanging positive experiences between the librarians of the two different countries. LP1 will coordinate the project, contribute expertise, resources, and other needed support, work closely with PP2 to achieve the project objectives, provide financial support, promote the project, and implement procurement procedures.\n\nThe project will prioritize sustainability, equal opportunities, non-discrimination, and equality between men and women. It will deliver outputs and deliverables, including a library management system, new services, training and exchange programs for librarians, and a joint digital library platform. The project aims to have a lasting impact beyond its lifetime, with outputs and deliverables being integrated into the work of the institutions and adapted or further developed for use by other target groups or in other territories. Relevant groups will be made aware of the project outputs/deliverables through dissemination activities and open access policies.\n\nDuring the project, local and joint actions will be implemented as preparation activities to start joint actions, including 2 librarians training, 2 camps for youth, 2 seniors workshop, and 1 final cross-border conference called \"Life is like a book\". The conference will serve as a platform for sharing experiences and expertise, discussing common challenges and opportunities, and identifying new measures to promote development in the cross-border region. Cross-border solution guidelines for cross-border parliament will be prepared based on the outcomes of the discussions and joint actions taken during the project. These guidelines will serve as a tool to promote digitalization in libraries across borders and will be presented to cross-border communities and further developed after project implementation.

["LTPL00027","WATER ECOLOGICAL NETWORK - cross-border concept of protection and revitalization of rivers and lakes","Issue: Giżycko, Trakai and Kruklanki are three cities located in regions where water plays an important role in the landscape and social life. Nevertheless, there are some common problems of the aquatic environment in these regions. One such problem is water pollution, which results from many sources, such as industrial and municipal waste, chemicals used in agriculture, as well as pollution associated with tourist traffic. As a consequence, water quality in lakes, rivers and other watercourses is often poor, with negative impacts on human health and the environment. Another problem is the erosion of the banks and the deterioration of the quality of aquatic habitats. As a result of intensive tourist use, as well as inappropriate land use, aquatic habitats, such as reed beds, swamps and peat bogs, are degraded. In extreme cases, this can lead to coastal erosion and the disappearance of coastal areas. Another problem is climate change, which affects the water level in lakes and rivers, as well as their temperature and quality. As a result of climate change, the water level in lakes may change, which can lead to drought or flooding, as well as a reduction in biodiversity in watercourses. Finally, another problem is the lack of effective water management mechanisms to ensure their conservation and sustainable use. As a result of the lack of proper management, water resources can be overused and polluted, leading to their degradation. Solving these problems requires coordination between different sectors, including local authorities, the tourism and agricultural sectors, as well as civil society organizations and other stakeholders. It is also important to apply a sustainable approach to the management of water resources and care for water quality and the protection of aquatic ecosystems.\nObjective: Strengthening the protection and preservation of nature, biodiversity and green infrastructure, including in urban areas, and reducing all forms of pollution on the border between Poland and Lithuania. Protection of the natural environment on the border of Poland and Lithuania is important due to its impact on the overall condition of the environment in Europe. Protecting nature and biodiversity in this area will contribute to the achievement of the EU's Sustainable Development Goals and can have a positive impact on the overall state of Europe's natural environment. Joint work of Poland and Lithuania for the protection of nature and the natural environment can contribute to the improvement of relations between the two countries. Common goals and efforts to protect the environment can help to strengthen people-to-people ties and improve relations between countries.\n\nWork Plan:\n\n\n1. Implementation of measures to improve water quality, such as removing pollutants from rivers, lakes, counteracting erosion of banks and pollution of rainwater in PL, LT (youth camp - cleaning the lake in Trakai PP3).\n\n\n2. Cooperation between sectors and stakeholders to coordinate actions to protect environment and ensure sustainable development. Introduction of protection and revitalization programs for rivers, lakes and other water reservoirs (development a joint program LP1, PP2, PP3).\n\n\n3. Promoting alternative energy sources, such as solar energy, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, which affects water quality (Ecological Education Centre building).\n\n\n4. Introduction of eco infrastructure, such as green city squares, to provide places for biodiversity and relaxation for residents (eco playground LP1).\n\n\n5. Implementation of activities for sustainable transport, such as promoting eco-transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, which affects the quality of water (kayak trip on the Sapina River).\n\n\n6. Improvement of pollutant monitoring and reporting systems for more effective management and control of pollutant levels (autonomous measuring buoy 1 pc, water drone 1 pc, mobile water quality meter 3 pc LP1, PP2, PP3).\n\n\n7. Implementation of educational information campaigns on the importance of waters and the need for their protection to increase public awareness of the protection and preservation of aquatic habitats (LP1 Earth Days, ecological art competition, workshops, summary conference). \n\nTarget group: A community of three partners (LP1, PP2, PP3), youth participating in the lake cleaning camp in PP3, nature and biology teachers participating in workshops, tourists participating in events.\n\nInnovation in the project: Mobile Water Monitoring - inspection and measurement platform that increases safety and shortens the time of servicing local and environmental inspections in LT-PL cross-border area.

This problem is increasingly affecting young people, among whom several percent have problems with maintaining a proper weight. A sedentary lifestyle, the use of mobile phones, computers, poor diet and lack of physical activity are the main causes of such difficult condition. Moreover two years of COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting movement restrictions negatively affected the behaviour and lifestyle of many LT-PL inhabitants. Project partners will closely cooperate to promote various forms of physical activity, healthy lifestyle and counteract this unfavourable situation.\n\nThe project is a classic and good example of \"people to people\" project without any investment or infrastructural activities, in which most of the activities and budget are allocated to the so-called “soft actions” and preparation of strategical document.\n\nThe project activities will promote integration, share experiences and good practices and acquisition of new knowledge, skills, new ways of physical activity and ways to interest people in active free time, sport and in general healthy lifestyle. First of all, physical outside activity will be promoted, moreover project participants will better know each other and establish new contacts that could motivate each other for physical activity. \n\nThe project includes various activities and solutions aimed at promoting sports and a healthy lifestyle, and thus improving the situation and well-being of the borderland inhabitants. Totally 7 camps for youth by 3 cities will be organized, 4 running events in Suwalki, open running trainings, coaching courses, dietary and coaching consultations will contribute to the promotion of various sports disciplines and the interest of residents in new forms of physical activity.\n\nAn important and new activity in the project will be the purchase of various sport equipment for the needs of the implementation of camps for young people and other activities after project completition in three cities. New equipment will allow to address a better sport offer for local residents. New sport equpiment will also strengthen mental condition of young people and allow for better social integration and improvement of the life quality.\n\nOne of the most important innovation is that on the basis of the project's activities, statistical data, surveys, own researches and interviews conducted in schools, partner’s experience etc. a comprehensive programme/strategic document will be prepared concerning development and methods of improvement of physical activity, healthy lifestyle and sport, mainly among children and youths but also adults of the LT-PL border region. The document will contain the concept of goals, activities, projects, organizational solutions that should be implemented by the partners and possibly other interested local municipalities.This document will be prepared in Polish and Lithuanian with English summary and will help all partners to address better sports offer and promoting healthy lifestyle for their inhabitants. \n\nIn total 398 people will participate in all joint activities of the project (LP1-Suwałki: 139, PP2-Alytus: 175, PP3-Druskininkai: 84).\n\nOutput indicators: \n- participations in joint actions across borders: 398 people;\n- organisations cooperating across borders: 3 (The City of Suwałki, Alytus sports and recreation center and Druskininkai sport center);\n- public events across borders jointly organised: 4 running events in Suwałki.","2024-01-01","2025-12-31","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_3) Strengthening cooperation of local stakeholders","ISO6.3.

Certain variety of nature based tourism products already exist in both countries, but long distance hiking trails are still insufficiently employed. Project partners have identified the following challenges in the Program area:\n\n\n1. Underused potential to increase numbers of hiking tourists.\n\n\n2. Lack of large-scale sustainable tourism products, professionally designed to attract visitors to rural areas regardless seasons.\n\n\n3. Underused potential of nature heritage in tourism.\n\n\n4. Underused potential of cross-border cooperation between stakeholders for development, maintenance and marketing of tourism products.\n\n\n5. Insufficient use of innovative technologies in promotion of tourism products and environmental education. \n\nIn order to tackle the identified challenges, project partners have set the project overall objective - to increase number of visitors to the Program area through developing and promoting a joint cross-border nature long distance hiking trail crossing the Program area and by using innovative solutions. Project partners expect at least 5% increase in overnight stays in rural areas within a year after the hiking trail is developed and launched through marketing and promotion activities.\nProjects specific objectives are: 1) to create attractive tourism environment in the remote areas of Podlaskie Voivodeship, Kaunas and Alytus regions, by developing common long distance hiking trail, crossing Lithuania and Poland; 2) to promote common Lithuanian-Polish long distance hiking trail towards target groups: a. specialized tourist profiles – long distance hikers and their associations, b. general interest tourists - using one-two-three days’ sections of a trail, c. specialized tour operators and travel agents.\nThe project will pursue a unique approach of creating a cross-border tourism product - long-distance hiking route, and promoting it by using innovative and never before used solution - Cross-border tourism capsule (mobile information-education center). The concept of long distance hiking trails relies on the idea that they are not one-country products, but continue through several countries. No exception is the E11 route that will be developed in Poland and expanded in Lithuania. Creation of such a product requires cross-border cooperation and participation of the organizations from both countries, through which territories implemented route continues. Moreover, the use of Tourism capsule for promotion of hiking route and environmental education activities will be first case in Program area, when such an innovative solution is being introduced for tourism marketing and environmental education. Creation of the cross-border long distance trail, connecting Poland and Lithuania, will be first such attempt to attract visitors to the cross-border territory by proposing this territory as one common travel destination. \nImplementation of the project will benefit to Program area's economic situation, especially this will be useful for the service providers and communities in more remote territories of the Program area, as long-distance hiking trail will go through less accommodated areas and hikers will be using local services. Moreover, a new incentive for service providers, willing to broaden circle of their customers by catering to hikers, will be introduced - service providers meeting the requirements will receive \"Hiker friendly\" sign, which is known and recognized among hikers.","2024-03-01","2026-02-28","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.6.

Any emergency situations that occur involve such consequences, which rapidly spread over large territories, also covering neighboring countries, thus causing enormous complications in rescue operations and even greater hazard to people and environment, especially when the forces and their supplies are not adequate to the scope of the hazard. The available resources are still insufficient compared to the scopes of rescue operations in cases of cross-border emergency situations.\nFor this purpose, rescuers are required to develop in order to gain new skills and abilities as well as knowledge of working with complex rescue equipment and techniques. Also, mutual cooperation between rescue services and exchange of good practice are becoming increasingly important. Using rescue equipment that is created using innovative today’s technologies and purchased during the project, better safety of people and the environment will be ensured, and the quality of living of people in the border areas will also improve.\nMiddle size fire-rescue vehicle with Chemical incident response trailer with equipment, Heavy fire-rescue vehicle with equipment and two Minibuses will be purchased for the project. This equipment is needed not only for project joint rescuers trainings and exercises, but also will serve for partner institutions after the project completion in their daily work in rescue operations and for further LT – PL rescuer cooperation.","2024-04-01","2026-03-31","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_3) Strengthening cooperation of local stakeholders","ISO6.6.

["LTPL00082","Making rehabilitation services for children and adults in the cross-border region more accessible and better quality","Recent estimates by the World Health Organization state that over 1 billion people in the world need rehabilitation services. The cross-border region is no exception in this area and faces the same challenges described by the constantly growing number of patients (adults and children) who need rehabilitation services. However, rehabilitation services are not at a sufficient level of quality or enough accessible for those most in need. Public institution Abromiskes Rehabilitation Hospital (LP) together with Independent Public Health Care Institution in Łapy (PP2) have significant experience in providing rehabilitation. However, organizations lack the infrastructure, innovative equipment, and most important competencies necessary for the provision of effective, improved, and new market needs corresponding rehabilitation services.\nThe aim objective of this project is to increase cross-border cooperation of medical institutions in order to enhance accessibility and quality of rehabilitation services for children and adult people in Lithuania and Poland. Joint training, experience exchange events, improved cross-border healthcare infrastructure (including medical equipment), and established sustainable cross-border cooperation network among project partners and related institutions ensures the successful achievement of the set aim as well as a positive and sustainable impact on the health system in the cross-border region. Implementation of the planned project activities will help to improve the capacity of the participating rehabilitation institutions by increasing the annual number of rehabilitation patients (including adults and children) to 6566 and their cross-border cooperation while achieving the final project result. \nThe project is new in three ways. First of all, an innovative approach to rehabilitation services is applied when the treatment process is not limited to physical medicine but also involves improving the emotional health of the patients (psychotherapy services). Second, through the use of modern technologies and methods in the rehabilitation of children and adult people. Lastly, through the integration of rehabilitation-related infrastructure and the know-how of partnering organizations.","2024-02-01","2026-01-31","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.5.

["LTPL00145","Forest Tree Beekeeping - A Tradition Without Borders","The project aims to preserve and nurture forest tree beekeeping tradition as intangible cultural heritage and create conditions for promotion of sustainable tourism in Yotvingian Land at the Lithuanian-Polish border. The ancient craft of forest tree beekeeping, historically characteristic to the region, has more than 1000 years of history and once played and important role in the social and economic life. However, over the years, this craft gradually died out, and has been cultivated only by a few enthusiasts in Dzūkija and Poland. The older generations, who lived next to forests of Augustow (PL) and Dainava (LT), still remember a few tree hives standing in the woods after World War II. There were also a few dwellers who were taught log hive beekeeping by their fathers. Their knowledge inspires to preserve the forest tree beekeeping tradition alive as a part of a living cultural heritage. In 2016, tree-beekeeping tradition was recognized as a part of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Poland. In Lithuania, the recognition of the tradition was marked by inclusion of tree beekeeping of Varėna region into the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Lithuania in 2019. The main protectors and promoters of the tradition are Bractwo Bartne in Poland and Administration of Dzukija National Park and Cepkeliai Strict Nature Reserve in Lithuania. These two organizations shall unite their forces, human and financial capital for nurturing the living tree beekeeping tradition in Yotvingian Land and shall promote this unique cultural and natural heritage for tourism as well as community needs. With the help of ERDF funding, project intends to enlarge the Museum of Tree Beekeeping Culture in Augustow and upgrade its exposition, to establish the Beekeeper's Homestead in Musteika village, to develop knowledge about tree beekeeping tradition, to build capacities of partners, tree beekeepers and local communities, to popularize the tradition among target groups, visitors, culture and nature lovers, to create conditions for sustainable tourism and promote the heritage of Yotvingian land nationally and internationally. It is expected that through its developed cross-border tourism route, upgraded tourism services, promotional events, project will contribute to increased visibility and recognition of the cross-border region.

["LTPL00041","Green Minded Cooperation","Waste is a major environmental, social and economic problem in Europe. In the EU, over 3B tonnes of garbage are discarded each year and 90% of the used resources become waste after their first use. The Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC amended by the Directive (EU) 2018/851) adopted to alleviate this situation set a legal obligation for EU members to take measures for preventing waste generation. This obligation prompted EU countries and regions to review their waste management/prevention programmes. Waste prevention is given a top priority in the Waste Framework Directive (it is at the top of the waste hierarchy). The EU´s subsequent circular economy action plan also defined ambitious numerical targets for the members (e.g residual municipal waste to be halved by 2030). Major progress in waste reduction has not been achieved (In 2010- 2018, the total EU waste generation increased by 5%), leaving a great pressure for the regions to improve this situation.\nProject Cities face common challenges: the amount of municipal waste per inhabitant was 583.7 kg in Alytus (according to 2020 data), in 2021 in Suwałki: 256 kg. Both Cities aim to reduce waste and encourage waste sorting, promote responsible consumption.\nThe overall objective of the project - to increase public environmental awareness in the field of waste reduction.\nExpected change the project will make - Waste prevention and waste management solutions will reduce the negative impact of human activity on the environment, will let to increase public environmental awarness in the field of waste reduction, will develop the skills of residents, especially children and youth, of responsible consumption.\n\nIn the project will be cooperating 45 organizations: Alytus City Municipality, The City of Suwałki, JSC Alytus Regional Waste Management Center, 30 kindergartens (15 from Alytus and 15 from Suwalki) and 12 schools (6 from Alytus and 6 from Suwalki). Will be jointly created Waste Prevention Solutions and will be developed urban waste reduction management solution, that will be applied in practice. \nThe implementation of project activities - exchange of experience and practice in environment protection and reduction of waste fields, will have direct impact for Alytus and Suwalki Cities. The project will help partners to strengthen cooperation links, create instruments for children's and society's education. Raising awareness and skills of kindergartens teachers/ directors in both countries will help to bring positive impact for children's education. Kindergartens children and schools students will be actively involved in the process and project activities will help to develop green minded thinking from the very early days. \nProject partners have concentrated primarily on the waste prevention stage with some new management solutions. There is a need for expanding knowledge for both project Cities on effective urban waste prevention approaches and learning experiences, focusing on the education of the new generation. \"Green Minded Cooperation\" will address this gap by uniting 2 crossborder Cities for interregional experience exchange on urban waste prevention practices, paying particular attention to the reduction and recycling of food waste. Project is innovative since it will enhance cross-border urban waste revention (raise awareness among border residents, especially children), will enlarge its scope to multiple waste materials expanding the collection, recycling and recovery of food waste) and will help to develop waste reduction method (strategy) for the development of the youngest generation and formation of skills.","2024-03-01","2025-08-31","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_1) Promoting environmental wellbeing","RSO2.7.

["LTPL00022","Provision of high quality medical services in the Polish-Lithuanian border area, focusing on surgical treatment and prevention of life-threatening diseases","The project is the result of existing cooperation between the two partner institutions (Alytus Polyclinic and Pro-Medica) as a response to widely understood problems in cross-border healthcare.\nIn Lithuania and Poland, the health care system is still underfunded (in Lithuania - 5.5% of GDP, in Poland - 4.8% of GDP). The quality of health care in both countries is worse than the EU average. Both countries face challenges in the availability of health services: lack of medical specialists, long waiting times for services. In Poland, a larger proportion of the population (8.5% of the population aged 16 and over) experiences shortages of medical needs than the EU average (3.2%). In Lithuania, the rate is quite close to the EU average (3.1%). Both Lithuania and Poland are experiencing problems with health services due to inadequate funding and poor availability and quality of health services, resulting in an overall poorer health status of citizens. Mortality from preventable and treatable causes in both countries exceeds the EU average and is particularly high in Lithuania, and the COVID-19 pandemic has caused additional strain on the emotional and physical health of citizens.\nMore than half of the participants in a survey conducted by the State Audit Office indicated that long queues at the doctor's office, and long deadlines for receiving medical services, are the biggest problem for the health care system. This is a very significant problem, as patients wait from 2 to 5 weeks for some medical services.\nDuring the implementation of the project, LP1 will focus on reducing the time limit for pulmonology services, paying special attention to the prevention of tuberculosis and COVID 19 complications.\nPP2 will focus on reducing the service delivery time for surgical procedures, including minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery allows doctors to perform a range of procedures without traditional skin incisions. Thanks to the development of new surgical techniques, surgical trauma is much less than it was years ago, which translates, among other things, into a shorter recovery for the patient, who spends, for example, several hours under the care of medical personnel, rather than several weeks. In summary, small-access surgery makes the patient:\n- can return to normalcy faster,\n- there is less pain after the surgery,\n- there are no extensive and disfiguring scars on the body,\n- the risk of infection and loss of significant amounts of blood is reduced.\n\nThe long-term goal is also to strengthen cooperation between public health providers and institutions responsible for cross-border health care. In the long term, the capacity of public health providers and more efficient delivery of cross-border public services will be enhanced. Project beneficiaries will also increase awareness of patients' rights in cross-border healthcare, in particular the application of the provisions of Directive 2011/24/EU, which sets out the conditions for a patient to be able to receive healthcare in another EU country and be eligible for reimbursement. A very important factor is also the quality of indoor air in operating rooms undoubtedly has a major impact on the health of the patient and staff, reducing the number of infections, the well-being of the operating team while working, so the use of air conditioning - ventilation systems in operating rooms is designed to reduce the risk of infection and provide comfort to staff.\n\nThe project will be jointly developed, implemented, financed and managed by the personnel appointed to implement it.\n\nThe project partners are solving these problems:\n- long waiting times for medical services (X-rays, surgeries),\n- insufficient quality and availability of health services,\n- insufficient prevention of infectious, life-threatening diseases (tuberculosis),\n- insufficient exchange of experience/skills between medical institutions,\n- insufficient involvement of the population in preventive programs,\n- outdated diagnostic and treatment equipment,\n- insufficient infrastructure for surgical procedures\n- Lack of adequate ventilation in two operating rooms\n\nThe solution to the above problems is:\nExchange of knowledge and experience of the Partners, health promotion, purchase of X-ray equipment, modernization of the ventilation system and purchase of equipment for the operating theater. \nThe project will increase the quality and availability of health care services in the LT-PL border area.\nThe target recipients of the project will be the residents of Elk (PL) and Alytus (LT) districts,and the target group will include health care workers.\n\nJoint project implementation will include:\n- exchange of experience, knowledge between partners,\n- organization of trainings/workshops\n- organization of an opening conference\n- organization of a conference summarizing the results of the project\n- management of the project during its implementation.","2024-03-01","2026-02-28","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.5.

["LTPL00015","Emergency care for crisis situations","The last few years have been challenging for healthcare facilities in Poland and Lithuania – COVID-19 has mercilessly exposed system deficiencies in the event of crisis situation an emergency and a surge in the number of patients requiring emergency health care. The year 2022 brought further challenges and threats - the bloody conflict in Ukraine, resulting from Russian aggression, makes one wonder about the degree of preparedness of Polish and Lithuanian health care, including hospitals, for a situation of warfare in Poland and/or Lithuania. Of course, armed conflict is this black scenario, but it is important to note that before February 2022, quite a number of politicians or geopolitical experts did not believe in the possibility of an attack on Ukraine. \nDecades of peace in this part of Europe have meant that hospitals, including hospital emergency services, have mostly abandoned any preparations for the bleak scenario of the start of hostilities. The current geopolitical situation calls for urgent measures to increase the resilience of health care system in the PL-LT border region in case of crisis situations such as military conflicts by undertaking joint multi-level complementary interventions. \nProject aims on building of PL-LT border region health system resilience by strengthening of emergency care adaptability to crisis situations. Aim will be achieved though: \n-\tproviding medical personnel with the necessary theoretical and practical competences for the implementation of health care aimed at battlefield injuries,\n-\tequipping of units with medical devices and technical facilities,\n-\tdeveloping of universal algorithms for the operation and interaction of medical units, including the admission of patients from hospitals abroad/transferring their own patients to other facilities.\nThe direct beneficiaries of the project and its outputs are partner hospitals in the Polish-Lithuanian border area, i.e. Voivodeship Hospital in Suwałki and Alytus District Hospital. These units will experience positive changes/effects of the project in the form of providing higher quality healthcare in the field of broadly defined emergency care through equipping with modern medical equipment and devices, higher qualifications of medical staff and established algorithms for dealing with extreme situations, in particular armed conflicts.\nThe target beneficiaries of the project and its outputs will be the population of Suwałki and Alytus regions, who through the implementation of the project will function (live, work, etc.) in an area with a hospital with the capacity to undertake effective, efficient emergency measures in situations of crisis, including armed conflict.\nProblem of interest to the partners in this project is essentially cross-border in nature. The sad experience of countries/regions that have experienced crisis situations and war clearly shows that a solidarity-based response from the international community, including – its closest neighbours, is necessary to minimise the tragic consequences. Border regions are vulnerable as crises situations might not halt at administrative borders, therefore cross-border coordination is required.\nIt should be noted that so far no one has addressed this topic in the Programme area, even more so in the aspect of cross-border cooperation between health care units. Output to be created as a result of the planned project activities, i.e. study containing algorithms and response procedures for hospitals in the border region in the event of an emergency, in particular armed conflict, can be adapted by other stakeholders\nSoft and hard backgrounds acquired by project partners during the implementation of planned project activities will be also used in day-to-day statutory activity.","2024-02-01","2026-01-31","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.5.

["LTPL00032","We move the borders - cross-border cooperation between Poland and Lithuania","The project implementation covers 2 border regions: Poland and Lithuania and involves partners: SP ZOZ WSPR in Białystok and The Ambulance service of the Republic of Lithuania. The project covers regions characterised by low social development compared to other EU countries. The health care system in both areas is not in good condition. Poland and Lithuania were only ranked 25th in the Health Systems Sustainability Index among the 28 EU countries in 2019. This is one of the worst results due to excess mortality from cardiovascular diseases. The data show that these diseases are the most common cause of deaths in particular among the elderly (Lithuania: Total deaths-47746 persons including cardiovascular diseases -23037 persons; Poland: Total deaths-519517 persons including cardiovascular diseases -180645 persons /data: Oficieliosios Statstikos Portalas and CSO; 2021). Emergency medical care in this case becomes crucial. Myocardial infarction is one of the most common causes of death in both countries. The patient can be saved as long as the right help is given in the first minutes. We share a huge proportion of people who die from cardiovascular disease. The common challenge of the borderlands also focuses on saving lives during disasters, warfare and migration crises. A medical person on the battlefield, in a state of emergency zone, in addition to being prepared to act in extreme situations, must also be knowledgeable. The training of these people will help the wounded during warfare, in emergency situations, they will be prepared for unforeseen events. In every country, people die in the same way, but not every country is as vulnerable as Lithuania and Poland. We have different procedures, so the joint exchange of experience is crucial. As part of the cooperation, we aim to develop the skills of medical personnel including paramedics and nurses and minimise the gap in medical infrastructure (purchase of new ambulances used mainly in villages). The added value will be the training of citizens, the elderly over 45. We want to act in two phases: to reduce the risks associated with a lack of assistance especially for people in rural areas in life-threatening situations, and to prepare these people for possible contingencies. We aim to provide adequate care that saves lives and health by:\n\n\n1.\tExchange of experience - training in Poland and Lithuania on disasters, extreme situations and mass incidents for medical persons\n\n\n2.\tReplacement of medical infrastructure - purchase of ambulances \n\n\n3.\tTraining in pre-medical first aid and disaster first aid with the use of purchased phantoms, in villages especially for older people, i.e. over 45 years of age\n\n\n4.\tInformation campaign (final conference with presentation of results), dissemination of project leaflets, information on fanpage, partners' websites, durable plaque.\nMain products:\n\n\n1.\tJoint working group -4 people\n\n\n2.\tWorking group meetings -6 meetings\n\n\n3.\tTraining of medics \"Medical rescue in disasters, extreme situations and mass events\"- 60 persons/ 30 persons each in Poland and Lithuania/6 groups/30 hours group\n\n\n4.\tTraining of medics \"Emergency services in battlefield medicine\"- 60 persons/ 30 persons each in Poland and Lithuania/6 groups/30 hours group \n\n\n5.\tPurchase of 2 sets of phantoms for training \n\n\n6.\tTrainings for villagers on premedical first aid and disaster first aid with the use of purchased phantoms - 200 persons /100 persons each in Poland and Lithuania /10 training groups/8 hours group\n\n\n7.\tPurchase of 3 ambulances with equipment \n\n\n8.\tOrganisation of a project wrap-up conference-1 \n1 hour= 1 training hour (45 minutes)\nA cross-border approach is crucial in the reality of today's politics of other countries, i.e. war in Ukraine, migration conflict on the border. As close neighbours, we see the need to respond and secure together in the event of a disaster or hostilities. We will develop solutions for partners to face difficult situations. We will support each other in situations where the forces and resources at our disposal are insufficient for the scale of the needs. Cross-border cooperation will deal with catastrophic incidents that arise at the border and in the border zone, where it is mainly the time of arrival of the relevant services that matters. We will develop solutions that are useful in small towns so that help can be more effective and arrive more quickly. Through the project we will introduce a new approach to a common emergency policy aiming at a safe, prepared society on both sides of the border. We will train not only medical people but also civilians.

An aging society poses several challenges encompassing economic, social, and healthcare aspects. Here are some key problems related to societal aging:\n\n\n1. Economic strain: the economic burden associated with supporting a growing elderly population may limit social protection, pension systems, and healthcare services. It may be challenging for a smaller working-age population to meet the financial needs of retirees, leading to increased government spending and possibly higher taxes.\n\n\n2. Healthcare expenses: older individuals often require broader healthcare services due to age-related health issues. The increased demand for medical care can strain healthcare systems, leading to higher costs and challenges in delivering adequate services.\n\n\n3. Sustainability of pension systems: traditional pension systems may face sustainability issues as the ratio of retirees to workers increases. Ensuring the long-term viability of these systems may require adjusting pension structures or retirement age.\n\n\n4. Labor force shortage: population aging may lead to a decrease in the labor force, resulting in a shortage of skilled workers. This can impact economic productivity and innovation.\n\n\n5. Social isolation and loneliness: older individuals may face social isolation and loneliness, especially if they live alone or have lost friends and family members. Social connections and support networks are crucial for mental and emotional well-being. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach, including policy changes, healthcare innovations, social programs, and adjustments to various systems to adapt to the realities of an aging society. \nGiven these issues, this project aims to promote the \"Silver Economy\" model. Encouraging and facilitating their participation can help alleviate some of the challenges associated with an aging population, such as labor force shortages and economic strain. Project partners aiming to achieve the main objectives include providing seniors with information, training, consultations, guidance, and mentoring on entrepreneurship; providing structural support to seniors for implementing their business ideas; promoting senior entrepreneurship, mindset, and culture. During the project, the Alytus district Pivasiunai Nursing Home and Orzysz municipality guidelines for the \"Silver Economy,\" addressing and promoting senior entrepreneurship and inclusion in the job market. Key project activities include computer literacy training for seniors, networking, organizing joint business fairs, collecting best practices in an \"idea bank\". The project will adhere to the approach that seniors can be competitive in the job market and fully develop business ideas.

Despite regions' rich natural and cultural assets, tourism development is hindered by remote locations, seasonal visitation, limited transportation infrastructure and language barriers. Lack of cooperation between stakeholders limits potential, but collaborative efforts aim to address these challenges. A joint project, \"Wildlife Undercover,\" will focus on developing and promoting sustainable tourism opportunities and ecological education through collaborative efforts between project partners - Nature Heritage Fund, Center for Ecological Education of Elk City Municipality, and the Directorate of Protected Areas of Dzukija and Suvalkija. A key initiative is the creation of a joint tourism route called \"Wildlife Undercover,\" spanning Eastern Poland and Southern Lithuania. This route will highlight natural attractions and rare species in forests, wetlands, and protected areas on both sides of the border, aiming to engage nature lovers and educate visitors about the region's biodiversity. Additionally, the project will invest in joint nature lessons aimed at younger visitors, local guides, and other interested parties, fostering cross-border connections and promoting the unique wildlife of the region. Enhancing the skills of local guides and facilitating knowledge and experience exchange between Lithuania and Poland is another crucial aspect, aimed at providing high-quality tourism offerings and showcasing the region's natural beauty.

The material and immaterial cultural heritage of the Yotvingians are an integral part of the cross-border region's culture. Despite individually nurturing the Yotvingian identity, each project partner, through joint actions, seeks to create a cross-border cultural tourism route focused on the Yotvingian theme, which has not been undertaken before.\nBased on the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture's \"Guidelines for Creating Cultural Routes 2021,\" it is evident that the „Road“ is a relationship. It connects interactions between countries. Also, roads open new horizons, contributing to cultural, economic, social, and ecological progress at various geographical levels. Therefore, the development of the Yotvingian theme in the context of the international Lithuanian-Polish route has a positive impact on the development of the border region, sustainable tourism development, and economic well-being. As one of the most important criteria for the viability of a cultural route is partnership and its continuous strengthening, the partners of this project aim to address and overcome the challenges of lack of collaboration.\nThe main goal of the project is to create and develop the \"Yotvingians Road\" route and implement joint actions to increase sustainable tourism, community participation and regional progress through the dissemination of Yotvingian cultural heritage. Thus, the revitalization of this cultural heritage through creative, and cultural initiatives will enhance the value of the Yotvingian heritage providing new knowledge to tourism professionals and cultural workers.\nTo achieve this goal activities are structured into the following areas: discover, create, develop, and share.\nIn the \"Discover\" activities, tourism, and cultural workers, as well as historians from the cross-border region, will share experiences, gain new knowledge, and apply it to creating a Yotvingians Road route consisting of 50 objects. Analysis of various maps, meetings with historians, discovering and visiting locations will contribute to creating a high-quality cultural route and highlighting the authenticity of the border's tourist attractions. During these activities, emphasis will also be placed on identifying opportunities and cultivating robust connections in project management, fostering partnerships, and promoting collaboration among stakeholders.\nUpon completion of the Yotvingians Roadmap, the 'Create' phase endeavors to transform it into bookable experiences for tourists. Therefore, new educational programs and games are planned to be created. The Lazdijai Cultural Center at the Rudamina Crafts Center will develop the \"Secrets of the Yotvingian Kitchen\" outdoor program and three interactive games to explore the identity of the Yotvingians using new technologies. The Municipality of Punsk will create an educational program called \"The Talisman of Yotvingian Luck\".\nThe majority of the project's implementation will be devoted to \"Develop\" activities, as they play a crucial role in the development of the Yotvingians Road. Various events and cultural activities will be developed to increase the value of Yotvingian identity and heritage. The Lazdijai Cultural Center and the Municipality of Punsk will jointly implement 5 new events. Educational programs and meetings of tourism and cultural workers will take place in experiential spaces created by this project. The Traveling Crafts Center will be created by the Punsk municipality. The Yotvingian Experience Space will be arranged at the Rudamina Crafts Center of Lazdijai Culture Center.\nRecognizing that a cultural route is more than a map—it is an immersive experience—the \"Share\" activities play a crucial role. This involves communication and post-project initiatives. A key task is the creation of an electronic website for the cultural route, featuring an interactive map. The partners have jointly planned sustained communication efforts even after project completion.\nIn summary, the Yotvingians Road is fundamentally centered on relationships and collaboration. Consequently, individual partners would be unable to independently execute such a project. Given the diverse target groups, including border tourists, cultural workers, craftsmen,NGOs, small businesses, and local communities, collaboration becomes indispensable. With the initial groundwork accomplished, the potential for future development of the Yotvingians Road is even more promising.

The awareness of general public on peatland importance and ecosystem services they can bring to the region will be raised through the public events.\nThe Project will produce quality but easily understandable information materials (handbook and information sheets on rewetting) for the target group; organize a set of trainings and field days, to demonstrate the rewetting and comprehensivity with the farming, when it is needed to maintain restored peatland; public awareness rising events will be organised (help action, peatland therapy); studies on the restoration targets, biomass usage will be elaborated to feed the high expertise knowledge into restoration and further biomass utilization; the reports on rewetting of 2 peatlands in the cross border region of Lithuania and Poland will demonstrate how the knowledge provided in the handbook and trainings can be used in practice. Crossborder approach is needed since the region has the most intensively for agriculture used peatlands and faces the same main problems in the lack of awareness and competences of the stakeholders. Thus it is crucial for partners to exchange the experiences and best practices in their countries and pool their capacities to address common problems - develop joint solutions, implement joint actions etc. \nThe new approach is that trainings and developed materials are targeting the specialists in the municipalities of the crossborder reghion (Lithuania) and agricultural advisers (Poland), since they are responsible for the consultations of farmers and landowners, and therefore they can act as multiplicators of the knowledge, and increase the attractiveness for peatland rewetting and restoration. The information provided by NGOs directly to farmers tend to be ignored due to hostile attitudes by the farmers community. Therefore acting through state institutions has more abilities to bring the desired result.","2024-12-01","2025-11-30","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_1) Promoting environmental wellbeing","RSO2.7.

["LTPL00291","AI on the trail of skin cancer","The project addresses the challenge of the identified common health problem of skin diseases including cancer in Poland and Lithuania, including the border area. Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in PL and LT It accounts for approximately one-third of all malignant tumours. \nWithin the scope of the defined challenge, several problem areas have been defined by project partners (Suwałki and Alytus Hospitals), where there are significant gaps on both sides of the border:\n-\tlow awareness of population on the need for preventive checks-up for the diagnosis,\n-\tlack of available of skin lesions screening actions;\n-\tlack of use of modern digital diagnostic technologies, including with AI,\n-\tlack of proper level of knowledge of the staff in the subject of the possibility of carry out diagnostic examinations using modern diagnostic technologies supported by AI;\n-\tlack of objective opinions, assessing the usefulness of using AI in the diagnosis of skin diseases formulated on the basis of the practical application of this modern tool in the course of conducting diagnosis in the organisational conditions in PL & LT.\nTherefore Project Partners planned a joint initiative to minimise the shortcomings in the am. problem areas, for which a common objective has been formulated – improving quality of specialized accessible medicine in the field of skin diseases in the PL-LT border region by implementation of innovative medical technologies, including AI, improving specialized knowledge and exchange of experience of medical staff, inhabitants awareness raising and encouraging to undergo preventive checks-up.\nThis initiative consists of a interrelated joint actions. A key activity – screening of border area inhabitants for malignant skin lesions. This activity will at the same time be a comparative evaluation of modern digital methods using AI solutions and the previously used optical diagnosis method.\nIn order to carry out screening action effectively, Project Partners planned other joint actions:\n-\tinformation and recruitment campaign, addressed to the inhabitants of the border region (need for checks-up, healthy lifestyle);\n-\ttraining of medical staff in the diagnosis of skin lesions, particularly cancer, and in the use of AI;\n-\tthe purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment to enable screening using AI solutions.\nAs a result of a.m. activities a review of the screening will be prepared, which will include conclusions on the effectiveness of AI solution compared to the optical method. Review will be freely available for all interested stakeholders. \nTherefore, the main project outputs/activities of the project are: \n-\t2 trainings for medical staff in the field of skin lesions diagnostics and modern technologies;\n-\t1 information-recruitment campaign on the health care problem of skin diseases in the PL-LT borderland;\n-\t2 healthcare units equipped with the modern diagnostic medical equipment – videodermatoscopes with AI solutions, review station, nitrogen pen;\n-\t1 screening of 500 inhabitants of the PL-LT borderland;\n-\t1 review summing up the results of the screening.\nThe target group of the project are:\n\n\n1.\tpartner institutions and their medical staff;\n\n\n2.\tpopulation of PL-LT border region - Suwałki and Alytus regions, who through the implementation of the project will function (live, work, etc.) in an area with a more equal access to modern solutions in diagnostics.\nProblem of interest to the project partners is essentially CB in nature. Partners have identified common challenges & problems in the field of health problems of skin diseases, with a particular focus on cancer, i.e: similar levels of incidence and morbidity of skin cancer in PL & LT, insufficient number of screening initiatives for the detection of malignant skin lesions for the inhabitants of the partner regions; technological shortcomings in the area of lesion diagnostics, lack of use of AI solutions in diagnostic technologies in the partner's area of influence, including diagnostics of skin lesions.\nAbove clearly demonstrates and justifies the importance of CB cooperation for the topic addressed. It is therefore desirable to undertake cross-border cooperation between partner institutions in order to overcome the above-mentioned common challenges, hence the screening of inhabitants on both sides of the border planned in the project.\nBasically the entire project has the following features:\n-\tpartnership approach (exchange of experiences, good practices),\n-\tcross-border approach (taking into account the common problem on PL and LT side of border region),\n-\ta multi-aspect approach (from raising the level of awareness among inhabitant and their preventive activities, through raising the level of specialist knowledge of medical staff.\nAt the same time, it has the characteristic of being a new solution in the field of the health problem being addressed due to the implementation of AI solutions that are absolutely new to the partners' area of activity.","2024-12-01","2025-11-30","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.5.

["LTPL00339","Borderland Games Revival: Preserving Heritage, Fostering Sustainability","The project endeavours to create a culturally significant initiative for communities along the Lithuanian-Polish border. It seeks to rejuvenate and promote traditional games originating from the historical periods spanning the 14th to the 19th centuries. Central to its mission is the adherence to principles of sustainable tourism, ensuring that cultural heritage preservation aligns harmoniously with contemporary environmental and social considerations.\nAt the heart of this endeavour lies a shared challenge: preserving and revitalising traditional games that risk fading into obscurity amidst modernisations. Such games, once vibrant expressions of cultural identity and social cohesion, now confront diminishing interest, insufficient documentation, and the necessity to adapt to contemporary contexts while retaining authenticity.\nThe project's overarching objective is twofold: first, to reignite interest and appreciation for traditional games, and second, to deepen understanding of their cultural and social significance. Through these efforts, the project aims to enrich the cultural fabric of border communities while simultaneously contributing to sustainable tourism development in the region.\nIn pursuit of these objectives, the project will yield several vital outputs. These include comprehensive historical research reports shedding light on old games' origins, rules, and historical popularity. Furthermore, the project will see the restoration of select traditional games, carefully balancing the preservation of authenticity with adaptation to modern contexts. Educational activities tailored to diverse age groups, social demographics, and cultural communities will also be developed, fostering communication and intergenerational exchange.\nThe beneficiaries of these outputs are manifold. Local communities stand to gain renewed pride in their cultural heritage and increase opportunities for cultural engagement and expression. Tourists visiting the region will have the chance to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of traditional games, enhancing their travel experiences and fostering cross-cultural appreciation. Cultural enthusiasts within and beyond the border region will benefit from heightened accessibility to and awareness of these unique cultural artefacts.\nA crucial aspect of the project's approach is its cross-border/transnational perspective. By embracing diverse cultural perspectives and fostering collaboration between neighbouring communities, the project seeks to leverage the richness of shared heritage while celebrating the distinctiveness of individual traditions. This approach not only enriches the project's outcomes but also serves to strengthen bonds and promote understanding across borders.\nWhat sets this project apart is its innovative integration of traditional game restoration with principles of sustainable tourism. By prioritising minimal environmental impact and social inclusion in developing games and educational activities, the project pioneers a holistic approach to cultural heritage preservation that is both culturally enriching and environmentally conscious. Moreover, its emphasis on inclusivity ensures that the project's benefits extend to all members of society, regardless of age, background, or learning style. Through these innovative strategies, the project seeks to chart a path towards a more vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable future for cultural heritage preservation and tourism development in the border region.","2024-12-01","2025-11-30","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.6.

["LTPL00284","Strengthening the role of culture in the cross-border region of Vilkaviškis District and Kruklanki Commune","The Polish-Lithuanian border region is one of the most sparsely populated peripheral areas of the European Union. The region faces many socio-economic problems, which should be overcome through cross-border cooperation. However, this cooperation is currently hampered by, inter alia, the incompatibility of institutional solutions in Poland and Lithuania and the lack of sufficient administrative capacity on both sides of the border. The area did not have any cross-border cooperation strategy so far. PL-LTties have been maintained mainly by the self-governments with limited involvement of other actors and the local community. Significant barriers to the development of cross-border cooperation include: low cross-border mobility, little interest in the neighbouring country, poor social integration and mutual prejudice, resulting inter alia from historical background.\nA key element of the area's tourism potential is its natural assets, which enable the development of many forms of recreation, land and water tourism, both in summer and winter. However, this offer is strongly weather-related (very short tourist season) and so standard that it is difficult to profile. Less well used and recognised are the cultural assets, special objects and places connected with the history of the border region. In many cases they are associated with difficult Polish-Lithuanian relations, which were a source of mutual animosity in the past. A distinctive but poorly exploited potential for tourism development is the historical and cultural heritage. \nThe project partners through the implementation of the project will not only strengthen the position of the cultural institutions, but by introducing the society to cultural activities, learning the cultural heritage and presenting it in an innovative, contemporary way, will allow the development of economy, tourism of the border countries (Poland and Lithuania). \nLP1 will focus on reinforcing the cultural identity of ancient culinary traditions and handicrafts, while PP2 has planned to implement events emphasising the historical importance of the Manor House. The Manor homestead in Paežeriai is the most unique manor heritage site in Suduva with historical, architectural, urban and landscape value. In 1992, the manor house complex was included in the list of objects protected as a cultural monument of republican significance and is considered one of the most distinct manor house complexes of the transition period from Baroque to Classicism in Lithuania.\nThe origins of Paežeriai manor house should be dated to the time of the oldest Suduva manors - the 16th-17th centuries, when the region was intensively populated. From the 17th century, the estate of the middle manor belonged to the great magnates Raudondvaris Zabielas. The residence palace in Paežeriai was built in 1799 by the LDK (Grand Duke of Lithuania) army general Simonas Zabielas (1750-1824). The court complex was designed by a representative of early and mature classicism, the creative architect Martynas Knakfusas (1740-1821), who lived here after the 1794 uprising.\nA joint workshop is planned as part of the project\nLP1\n-Kruklanki Handicrafts Festival \n- The \"Mazurian Flavours\" Culinary Festival in Kruklanki \nIn addition: temporary exhibition of photos of the Lithuanian partner from the Rose Festival, recording of a promotional film, photo report.\nPP2\n-cultural cuisine of Simon Zabiela in Paezeriai Manor \n-joint public event: Paezerių Manor Festival (Festival of Roses) \nIn addition:Promotion through a professional film, organisation of a temporary exhibition of photos of the Polish Partner from the implementation of the workshop, expansion of the services of Paezerių Manor and improvement of the quality of service for foreign tourists from the border region - purchase of lighting, stands for nature monuments, creation of an AUDIO guide system, reconstruction of 4 candlesticks\nBoth Partners will undertake obligatory info.&promo. activities. \nA Cooperation and Marketing Plan will be jointly developed - 2 meetings (1 in Lithuania, 1 in Poland, participants: 5PL, 5LT).\nThe project will help to solve problems like:\n-Lack of funds to purchase modern technical equipment \n-Insufficient cultural infrastructure \n-Competition with other institutions \n-Lack of cultural education in the local community.\n-Maintaining interest in cultural heritage among the younger generation.\nAnd also challenges like:\n-limited range of cultural offerings\n-lack of opportunities to expand cultural offer and cultural education due to lack of equipment\n-limited cooperation with other centre /theatres\n-lack of adaptation of the cultural offer to modern forms\n-limitations for foreign tourists.\nThe joint implementation of the project will include:\n- exchange of experience, knowledge between partners,\n- organisation of workshops\n- promotion of the Project Partners\n- development \n- project management during project implementation.\nPlanned implementation date:01–12/2025","2024-12-01","2025-11-30","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.6.

["LTPL00174","Polish-Lithuanian cooperation to support the accessibility and quality of medical services in the Białystok County and Švenčionys Municipality","The common challenge of the Polish (Białystok County)-Lithuanian (Švenčionys Municipality) Project is to develop solutions that will contribute to the provision of equal access to medical care to people in rural areas, including the elderly. The combined efforts of both parties will also aim to combat the second/third most common gastrointestinal cancers by developing and conducting early detection diagnostic programmes and endoscopic examinations.\nAreas with negative demographics, including high ageing rates, are characterised by limited access to medical services. Older people need increased medical care, but often have difficulty getting to a remote location for basic and specialised medical services. This is particularly noticeable in rural areas, where there is no medical infrastructure due to the small population. Another problem is the low level of people's awareness of preventive examinations that allow early detection of a disease. The quality of provided medical services is inadequate due to a lack of funds to improve staff and upgrading of facilities.\n\nThe aim of the Project is to create a medical care system that will allow the provision of basic medical care in areas deprived of public and non-public health care facilities, including in particular reaching people in rural areas, as well as providing quality medical services by enabling basic and specialist examinations to be carried out on modern equipment. In addition, the Project envisages the training of medical staff in order to raise their level of competence in terms of both medical knowledge and soft skills, which will allow an even higher level of medical service provision. The Project will increase the awareness of people from the areas covered by the Project on topics related to health, in particular the importance of preventive screening and early detection of diseases, thanks to an information and promotion campaign and the development of a preventive programme.\n\nThanks to the implementation of the Project, mobile medical services will be developed (purchase of a specialised medical vehicle), which will allow providing adequate healthcare to people residing in areas deprived of medical facilities, as well as those who, for a variety of reasons (age, state of health, disability, lack of transportation, loneliness, social exclusion) are unable to reach a place where they would receive appropriate medical assistance. In addition to providing basic medical examinations in Lithuania, the Project will allow for the provision of specialised examinations in Poland (through the purchase of specialised equipment endoscopy laboratory), which will translate into the qualitative provision of medical services and bringing it up to the level of other facilities in the surroundings of the Project area. In addition, both areas will carry out information and promotion measures and preventive programmes will be carried out in both areas, which will enable the promotion of good health and increase awareness of early detection of diseases. Training of doctors and medical staff medical staff will, in turn, allow for an increase in the quality of provided services and the possibility of greater support to those in need. \n\nThanks to the cross-border nature of the project, the medical facilities of Poland and Lithuania will be able to better provide adequate, accessible, equal medical care to all people in need. Thanks to the cooperation with Lithuanians, Poles will be able to learn in practice (thanks to study visits) the system of mobile medical services, so that in the future they can reach people who are currently unable to get access to medical facilities on their own. The Lithuanians, in turn, thanks to the cooperation with the Poles, will be able to observe the activities of the endoscopy laboratory, which they do not currently have, so that in the future they can decide to set up such an endoscopy lab in their facility or introduce mobile endoscopy. This is why the exchange of experience between the Project partners will contribute to meeting the overall objective of the Project, which is to ensure access to high-quality healthcare for all people who need it.\n\nThe planned study visits will enable Polish and Lithuanian specialists to learn about new methods and ways of providing medical services - mobile medical services enable faster and more effective care in inaccessible regions, which has not been practised in Poland so far and which Poles will be able to experience in practice. All this suggests that the planned cooperation is innovative in nature and may contribute to the introduction of new solutions in the Lithuanian-Polish system of medical services.","2024-04-01","2025-09-30","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.5.

["LTPL00353","Joint actions of Lithuanian and Polish Border Guard Services to contribute to a safer and more secure Europe","The project is initiated by the Lithuanian and Polish Border Guard Services, which are responsible for implementing public security objectives delegated by their respective governments in the border region during peacetime. These objectives include the prevention and management of illegal acts and crimes, investigation and intelligence, rescue operations, and more. Geopolitical threats, such as pandemics and the war in Ukraine, necessitate significant adjustments and pose new challenges for the partners.\nThe partners aim to strengthen cooperation and joint activities in the border region. Regional disparities in socio-economic development in both countries should not hinder the provision of public security or compromise its extent or quality. Despite having similar functions and common objectives, the partners operate within their national territories according to their respective national legislations, which have distinct differences.\nThe partners have comparable capacities in terms of equipment, activities, funding, and other aspects. Given that both countries are members of the same international organizations (EU, NATO, etc.), the partner authorities are committed to implementing common international obligations and agreements between the governments of both states in the field of border protection.\nThe overall aim of the project is - To strengthen the institutional abilities of LT and PL Border Guard Services in order to decrease trans-national crime rate in LT and PL cross-border region. The duration of the project – 36 months. Project consists of 2 work packages: \n-\t1 WP - Cooperation for strengthening joint actions and its specific objective is to increasing the capabilities and cooperation of Border Guard Services to act jointly for ensuring safety in LT-PL cross-border region.\n-\t2 WP - Facilities for joint functioning and its specific objective is to develop modern facilities and supply specialized equipment necessary for the strengthening and implementation of cooperation and joint activities between Lithuanian and Polish border guards.\nThe target groups of the project include the Lithuanian and Polish Border Guard services, national/regional/local authorities, the general public, and the media. Two legal entities from the two countries—the State Border Guard Service under the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania (LP1) and the Podlaski Border Guard Regional Unit of Maj. Gen.

["LTPL00333","Cross-border cooperation to support the accessibility and quality of medical services provided by Health Centres in Łapy and Švenčionys","Project responds to the identified problems, which are common for the territory of Poland and Lithuania. These include negative demographic phenomena, or the problem of access to health care facilities. These facilities often do not provide high quality services or are not adequately equipped. In addition, the problem is the low awareness of the inhabitants of both countries regarding preventive examinations. The indicated challenges are particularly relevant in rural areas, where a significant proportion of the population is made up of elderly people.\nOne of the ways to tackle the problem is an ability to ensure infrastructure capacities of borderland’s health care institutions. It is a particular importance in border region, where cross-border provision of services may be the most efficient way of organizing health services for the local population, but where achieving such cross-border provision on a sustained basis requires cooperation between the healthcare systems and services providers. \nThe project brings on a value added solution to the issues and challenges for delivery of cross-border public services with the valuable continuation and enhancement of the Partners' common activity in the framework of more integrated and community-based governance in favour to better provision of healthcare services in the cross-border area. Therefore combines purchases of necessary medical equipment with improvement of healthcare stakeholders involvement and enhancing the collaborative capacity of cross-border healthcare ecosystems.\n\nOverall objective is to support the healthcare systems in Białystok County and the Municipality of Švenčionys through enhancement of collaborative capacities, strengthening local health policies and the purchase of specialized medical equipment, what will enable the provision of accessible, high-quality medical care for cross-border area inhabitants\nSpecific objective:\nIncreasing the accessibility and quality of healthcare services through the purchase of specialist equipment, capacity building and cross-border cooperation.\n\nThe activities implemented in the Project will contribute to the minimization of the currently occurring problems, which include:\n\n\n1. Upgrading the equipment of the endoscopy laboratory of LP1 by purchasing the Artificial Intelligence system and PP2 purchasing ultrasound apparatus accelerates Partners’ capacities for diagnosis and treatment of diseases, improves patient care and increases safety. \n\n\n2. Project Partners commonly agreed to adopt and develop the World Health Organizations initiative - Health in All Policies approach which improves accountability of stakeholders for health impacts at all levels of policy making and execution. It includes an emphasis on the consequences of public policies on health systems, determinants of health, and well-being.\n\n\n3. Project promotes the role of specific intermediary institution, such established Cross-border Health Observatory in order to help to diffuse good practices and to coordinate cross-border cooperation in healthcare with local and national authorities. Cross-border Health Observatory will be a cross-border network – information hub established to promote health cooperation between the two countries. The mission of the observatory: to be a permanent area of knowledge exchange where data, studies and evidence from the territories are made available for stakeholders operating in the health care sector. \n\n\n4. Project develops a sustainable comparable cross-border database base of harmonized methods and mapping border and cross-border healthcare operators to make cross-border connections more visible and to create new opportunities of cross-border cooperation. \n\n\n5. Joint workshops aimed at establishment of the Cross-border Health Observatory Network and those devoted to mapping of the healthcare ecosystem in border area will strengthen collaborative capacities and social capital.\n\nThrough the implementation of the Project, the inhabitants of border region will have easier access to specialist medical services, the queues for diagnostic tests will be reduced and the quality of services will increase thanks to the quality of services provided through development of diagnostic and treatment capacities.\nProject partners - healthcare centers will improve the quality and accessibility of medical care, which means that the hospitals will have more tools and resources to provide the best possible care to their patients. The Project will improve equipment so that hospitals will be able to provide patients with faster and more efficient access to medical care and easier management of patient.

["LTPL00308","New tourism products as synergy of cultural heritage, education and cooperation between Kętrzyn and Šalčininkai.","Many small towns in Poland and Lithuania have a common history and contemporary links: cultural, natural, and business. The problem, however, is the low awareness of their common heritage and the lack of its innovative use in tourism and promotion. The challenge is therefore to raise awareness of common heritage and to make innovative use of it in tourism and promotion.\n\nThe development of tourism and new tourism opportunities offer the chance to create new jobs and thus increase the standard of living of local communities in both towns.\n\nWithin Lithuania and Poland, towns such as Kętrzyn and Šalčininkai are struggling to compete economically and in terms of tourism with larger cities in the area. This is due to an insufficient number of attractive products aimed at tourists and the location of these towns off the main tourist routes. The challenge is to increase the tourism competitiveness of Kętrzyn and Šalčininkai.\n\nAnother problem is the seasonality of the tourist offer in small towns, which significantly reduces tourist attractiveness. Related to this is the low competence of tourism organisers to create tourist products that extend the tourist season. The challenge is to extend the tourist season and increase the competencies of tourism organisers.\nIn the context of Poland-Lithuania cooperation, there is a need to increase knowledge on common values that exist, and their potential is not exploited. This is due to insufficient international cooperation at the local government level and among tourism organisations, which could use existing tourism products or even create them together with the local community. \n\nDespite nationwide good economic development in Poland and Lithuania, towns classified as smaller are not developing dynamically. This is the case of Kętrzyn in Poland and Šalčininkai in Lithuania. There is high unemployment there and residents do not have access to many attractive and well-paid jobs. This results in an exodus of young people from these towns and exacerbates demographic and economic problems. Heritage-based tourism is an opportunity for development. The development of tourism and new tourism opportunities offer the chance to create new jobs and thus increase the standard of living of local communities in both towns. Now, however, the implementation of innovative ideas in these areas is lacking. \n\nThe project aims to reduce the problems described through specific actions that fulfil the general and specific goals of the project.\n\nMain objective: To increase the tourist attractiveness of Kętrzyn and Šalčininkai by using the common cultural heritage, improving cooperation as well as culture, education, and tourism by achieving synergies.\n\nSpecific objective: To create new tourism products (two cultural-tourist trails) and a methodology for creating such tourism products. \n\nThe project is planned to create new tourism products - cultural-tourist trails (one in Kętrzyn, one in Šalčininkai). The project was designed to involve young people from the two towns, but also historians, experts, tourist guides, representatives of the tourism industry, town residents and the media in creating the trails. The logic of the project was formulated in such a way as to create a method for creating cultural-tourist trails based on cooperation between small towns, young people, and experts. \n\nPartners decided to implement an ambitious project - to create new cultural and tourist routes and develop a methodology for creating such tourist products as part of the project. The proposed approach to creating routes is based on finding historical connections between partners and their countries. An attempt to answer the question: What does Kętrzyn have in common with Lithuania, and what does Šalčininkai have in common with Poland? And then create two tourist trails - one in Kętrzyn and one in Šalčininkai with the working name: \"History of Lithuania in Kętrzyn\" and \"Polish History in Šalčininkai\".\n\nOf course, some of such connections are already known today, but the project will find new connections, which will certainly be surprising and interesting for everyone. Thanks to this and the methodology for creating such tourist trails developed as a result of the project, other partners will be able to replicate similar projects. Thanks to this, in the future a large number of interesting tourist routes will be created in cross-border cooperation.","2024-12-01","2025-11-30","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.6.

All partners are struggling with environmental degradation, including water pollution, deforestation and habitat destruction. The common challenge is to combat problems and restore ecological balance. Environmental problems transcend administrative boundaries, affecting ecosystems and communities on both sides of the border. This requires a collaborative, cross-border effort to identify root causes and implement effective solutions, given complex nature of these problems. There is a shared need to combat the lack of environmental awareness in communities. Many residents may not fully understand impact of their actions on environment. Challenge is to instill a sense of responsibility and environmental awareness, developing a shared commitment to sustainable development practices.\n\nProject aims to create a more eco-conscious society and reduce various forms of pollution. Its main goal is to inspire pro-ecological activities and educate communities from LP1, PP2, PP3.\n\nProject assumes a significant increase in ecological awareness of society through various educational initiatives, such as 2 festivals and 2 camps. Participants are expected to gain a deeper understanding of the environmental impact of their actions and tools to make more informed decisions.

["LTPL00009","The cross-border road to memories infinity","The project \"The cross-border road to memories infinity\" aims to develop a cross-border tourism route connecting three regions - Suwalki, Lazdijai, and Alytus - and promote their unique cultural and natural heritage. The project is jointly tackling the common challenge of the low visibility and promotion of these regions, which hinders the growth of the tourism industry.\nThe overall objective of the project is to increase the number of visitors and boost the economic development of the regions by creating joint tourism products and improving the tourism infrastructure. The expected change the project will make to the current situation is the increased visibility and attractiveness of the regions for both domestic and foreign tourists.\nThe main outputs cross border partners: Alytus Ethnographic Museum, Suwalki Regional Museum, Lazdijai Land Museum, will produce - include into existing, previously from other joint projects created, tourism route cross-border events such as a fashion week, a wedding celebration, singing poetry evenings, and a tourism networking conference. These events will showcase the cultural heritage of the regions and create opportunities for community members and tourists to connect and engage. Additionally, during the project partners will create a joint traveling exhibition named \"Cross Border Women\" and \"Cross Border Men\" that will connect the regions through fashion, love, and music.\nThe beneficiaries of the project will be the local communities, the tourism industry, and tourists visiting the regions. The project will create employment opportunities, boost the regional economy, and preserve the cultural heritage of the regions.\nPartners plan to take a cross-border approach because the project's challenges cannot be addressed by a single region or country. Cooperation among the partners is needed to create a joint tourism product that will attract visitors from all three regions. By working together, cross border partners can leverage each other's strengths and resources and create a sustainable tourism industry.\nThe common territorial challenge addressed by this project is to increase the sustainable use of cultural heritage for tourism in the cross-border area. The region boasts a rich cultural and historical heritage, shared traditions, and diverse natural attractions such as lakes, rivers, landscapes, parks, and forests, covering about 30% of the cross-border territory. However, an EC study found that this area is relatively unknown to tourists, with little information available on opinion formation platforms. There is also a lack of cooperation between public tourism institutions of Poland and Lithuania, tour organizers, and tourism specialists, as well as a deficiency in management and marketing skills.Tourism is an important sector for the European economy, generating growth and jobs. The project aims to develop the Baltic Sea region as a common tourism destination and promote sustainable and innovative tourism products and services around specific themes. In rural areas, tourism plays a vital role by providing an economic incentive to stay in the countryside and showcasing local traditions, cultural and natural heritage. It also stimulates investment in infrastructure and transport facilities, thus contributing to balanced territorial development in the region.\nNew and original about the project is the focus on creating joint tourism products that connect the regions through their cultural and natural heritage, traditions, shared experience. Additionally, the project emphasizes community engagement and involvement, ensuring that the local communities' voices and needs are heard and addressed. Finally, the project's cross-border approach creates a unique opportunity to promote the regions' shared heritage and strengthen regional cooperation.\nDuring the project, a marketing strategy will be jointly developed that includes concrete measures for further developing joint tourism and cultural routes, products, and services, as well as strengthening networking. Additionally, tourism sites in the homestead of Pranas Dzūkas and the Maria Konopnicka museum will be developed and supported. The cooperation among the three cross-border partners will also be strengthened. With this project cross border cultural and heritage sites, nature, traditions will be saved and transfered to other generation and tourism road will lead us all to memories infinity.","2024-03-01","2026-02-28","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_2) Promoting physical, emotional and cultural wellbeing","RSO4.6.

["LTPL00055","Safer together - increasing security in the Polish-Lithuanian border region by intensifying police cooperation","The project is a response to the identified problems in the Polish-Lithuanian border area in two fields:\n1) searches, disappearances.\n2) combating car crime. \nHowever, due to this, car crime is an international practice, going well beyond the cross-border scope, and stolen vehicles sold in Lithuania often come from Germany and transit through Poland, the project decided to go beyond the territory of the Lithuania-Poland Program and invite to joint activities and cooperation the Voivodship Police Headquarters in Gorzów Wielkopolski and the Police Presidium in Brandenburg. In addition, the Voivodship Police Headquarters in Gorzów Wielkopolski together with the German police will submit their own project in the Interreg Brandenburg - Poland Program for combating car crime, which in the scope of the above-mentioned of activities, will be a complementary project to this Polish-Lithuanian project (mutual participation in trainings, study visits to Lithuania and Germany, creation Recommendations in the field of Polish-Lithuanian-German cooperation in combating car crime). The established cooperation between the Podlaska, Lubuska, Lithuanian and German police will be continued also after the end of the project.\nThe main objective of the project is to strengthen cooperation to improve security in the Polish-Lithuanian border region by intensifying police activities in the area of searches, disappearances and combating car crime. The changes that will be introduced thanks to the implementation of the project concern two thematic areas. \nThe first change is about improving and regulating the cooperation of the Polish and Lithuanian police in the area of disappearances and searches by:\n- creation of Mobile Operating Centers at each of the project partners, which will be mobile command posts in case of police operations in the border region,\n- creating an Algorithm for proceeding in cases of search and disappearances in border region,\n- trainings to improve the knowledge and skills of police officers actively participating in search activities.\nThe second change is the implementation of a new strategy for the operation of the Polish and Lithuanian police in the field of preventing and combating car crime. This change will be implemented through:\n- creating Recommendations in the field of Polish-Lithuanian-German cooperation in combating car crime, \n- trainings on the subject of preventing and combating car crime,\n- a study visit to Lithuania.\nThe products of the project will be: Algorithm for proceeding in cases of search and disappearances in border region, Recommendations in thie field of cooperation in combating car crime, creation of Mobile Operating Centers on both sides of the border, Polish-Lithuanian trainings, as well as a study visit to Lithuania. The projects will benefit directly Polish and Lithuanian police officers using the developed solutions and purchased equipment, and indirectly the inhabitants of the Polish-Lithuanian border region.\nPolish-Lithuanian police cooperation in the field of search and disappearance in the cross-border area requires improvement and creation of procedures that have not been used before. A precise document should be created that will define the rights and obligations of policemen on both sides of the border at the time of joint operations in the border region, clearly specify the methods of cooperation, specify the ways of information circulation, possible cooperation with other services. It is not possible to create a cooperation procedure without one of the partners of potential joint activities.\nCooperation in the field of combating car crime should develop with new key partners - in this case, partners from the Polish-German border. Joining forces of so many entities will allow for more effective action and combating car crime. Their participation and mutual exchange of experiences will be an important element for international cooperation in the fight against car crime. The Polish-Lithuanian partnership and the already existing cooperation extended by new strategic entities will be a huge added value not only during the project, but also after its completion. These are not activities, that can be done alone to be effective, because strength is in the team.\nA novelty in the project is an Algorithm specifying procedures for cooperation in the field of search and disappearance and Recommendations providing new opportunities in preventing car crime. Mobile Operating Centers, created on both sides of the border, will be used not only for searches and disappearances, but also much more broadly - in combating car crime (through, for example drones, cameras, monitoring in the headrests, etc.), combating illegal immigration (a significant problem from 2021) or even during road activities - e.g. passing supporters.","2024-02-01","2026-01-31","(VI-A_Lt-Pl_3) Strengthening cooperation of local stakeholders","ISO6.6.

The products developed in WP2 will have a direct impact on the work of Polish, Lithuanian and German police officers in combating car crime, and indirectly on increasing the safety of society in the Polish-Lithuanian border region.

Moreover in the programme document stated that he environmental and climate conditions as well as the seasonal character of the cultural offer provided by cultural centres and institutions are currently used only in a limited extent for the creation of year-round tourist offers and in addition as the Programme area does not have a common approach towards building a sustainable and innovative tourist sector, it could benefit from cooperation in developing a common tourist product. \nThese above described common economic challenges defined in the programme document are reflecting common challenges of the programme partners they are trying to tackle with the project.\nProject overall objective is to enhance role of culture in tourism and economic development in Pagėgiai and Zabłudów municipalities. It is foreseen that project will allow to propose new kind of tourism product - experiential tourism while using modern technologies for providing services all year round.\nThe main outputs are:\n- Jointly developed experiential cross-border tourism model; \n- Organizations cooperating in the field of experiential tourism across borders;\n- Experiential tourism sites with focus on local culture supported\nMain beneficiaries will be general public and local public authorities.\nAfter careful revision of trends in tourism sector and experiences by project partners analyzed it was jointly agreed that experiential tourism is on top requests nowadays. \nIf to look at definition, experiential tourism is a form of tourism in which people focus on experiencing a country, city or particular place by actively and meaningfully engaging with its history, people, culture, food and environment.
