Description

Description (EN):

The main objective of the project “South Baltic Food Innovation Culture Actors” is to improve the cross-border capacity of local South Baltic area actors through a new cross-sectoral partnership, in order to raise their involvement and ability to take active part in cross-sectoral networks and cross-border events. The partnership consisting of 10 actors: 3 municipalities, 2 business support institutions, 2 cultural institutions and 3 NGOs (4 PPs and 6 APs) agreed on a strong need to improve their capacity to cooperate in established cross-sectoral partnership between SE, PL and LT.

Achievements (EN):

South Baltic Food Innovation Culture Actors (SB FICA) is a cooperation and capacity building project with the common denominators being food and culture. Krinova Incubator & Science Park has been running the project together with the partners in the project Czarna Dąbrówka, a small municipality in Northern Poland, Rietavas Business and Information Centre from Lithuania and the Baltic Sea Cultural Centre in Gdańsk. The intention of the SB FICA project was to learn from each other and to learn about each other. An exchange of history, traditions and culture, but also of new innovations. The common method applied for the work was Swedish FIKA literally meaning a snack, a coffee break that brings people together in an informal and easy way, opening up for chats and all ideas that can come out of such a spontaneous and relaxed conversation. FIKA was both a theme and a method to gather the partners around common challenges The common values, GÖS, Swedish for Zander and also an acronym for Glädje, Öppenhet och Samarbete meaning Joy, Openness and Cooperation, served as the basis for interaction during the project. The tools for learning and innovating were participating in events organized by the partners and associated partners. Spotting and defining similarities in the common use of raw materials and traditions as well as differences in culture and history and how those aspects influence interpretations and usage of raw materials. Forming a new understanding and relations and building platforms for collaboration with food as a common denominator and joint thinking, co-creation, i.e. inventing and shaping the traditions of tomorrow was the result. Telling new common stories that help anchor cultural innovations in both the old, and the new traditions.

Expected Results (EN):

The common c-b approach is going to be achieved through joint workshops and investigating possibilities to run joint events and to find other possible forms of cooperation. All the partners agree that there’s valuable experience within food culture in the other regions around the Baltic Sea. That’s why food themes and events will be used as joint real cases for practical workshops and capacity building. The activities will be aimed at identifying a common area of cooperation within that area of interest. This will enable a joint cross-border perspective on needed solutions. To reach the best c-b perspective, the WPs will be divided between partners. All activities will take place in different partners’ locations, to enable best know-how and exchange of experience. In that way, reciprocal study visits and exchange “on site” will be a great asset to build cooperation across the borders.

Expected Outputs (EN): 1) Joint cross-border events related to food themes. 2) Networking and raising the organisations' internal capacity to cooperate across borders.
