Leader Region Bergisch-Sieg: These projects from the region are funded by the EU

Anyone with a good idea to improve the community or the environment in rural areas can count on EU funding. For example, the Protestant retirement home Wahlscheid in Lohmar, which received 241,400 euros to implement a meeting project. The idea: A retirement home should not be a place where people just wait for the last train to anywhere, but a place of life where people meet at musical, cultural, theatrical events, festival and cooking. The project idea was so big that it received funding from the EU. It was made possible by the Local Action Group (LAG) Bergisch-Sieg Region, something like a turning point between the EU, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the region – an initiative of the EU Leader program (Laison Entre Actions de Dévelopement). of l’Economie Rurale).
