Two successful Estonian-Latvian projects
At the end of June Estonian-Latvian Programme decided to support two projects, composed with the help of Advisio. Funded projects were „Est-O-Lat league“ and „MOTO“.
During this call, altogether 47 applications were submitted, from which nine were approved. In grand total these projects gathered 70 million crones of support money. The most popular direction of support was priority 3.2. “Promoting grass-root level activities” – where the number of submitted projects were highest and in total five application were approved in total subsidy sum 8 035 186 Estonina crones. More than 54 % for this money was “taken away” by Advisio projects.
During the next calls Estonian-Latvian Programme has to divide more than 180 million Estonian crones. Next call will be opened in autumn and is closed in January 2011.
"Est-O-Lat league” – given the considerable experience of both Estonian and Latvian orienteering federations and local orienteering clubs, a joint project has been developed to improve the orienteering as sport and hobby for the people of both countries. This will be achieved through series of activities like study days in 30 schools, training days for map developers, creating of new and high quality orienteering maps (covered area 110 km2) and organizing 20 orienteering league competitions with nearly 12 000 participants.
“MOTO” - this project helps two local motocross clubs to offer educative and interesting challenges like amateur training camps and competitions to youngsters (aged 5-16). The activities are targeted also to the local children living near the motocross tracks, as well as at improving the already existing contacts between the motocross clubs in both countries. In addition, the project will ensure availability of easy and freely accessible, highly qualified and interactive study-materials of motocross. The project will be implemented by a local Motorcycle Club K&K in Estonia and Latvian Amateur Motocross Union.
Compiling process of both projects was guided by our consultant Siim Loik.
