The project
EU cohesion explained to the people of Sardinia
"Sardegna Coesa" (Cohesion in Sardinia) is a 12-month project co-funded by the European Commission (DG REGIO) under the programme "Support for information measures relating to the EU Cohesion policy". Its activities, which began in September 2022, aim to bring information on EU cohesion policy to a wide audience of citizens and potential beneficiaries in Sardinia, while involving beneficiaries and stakeholders in a closer analysis of its impact and future development.
Objectives
- Help the island's citizens better understand how EU cohesion policies contribute to jobs and growth in Sardinia.
- Raise awareness among potential beneficiaries of cohesion programmes (European Social Fund, European Regional Development Fund, National Recovery and Resilience Plan) and encourage greater and more effective participation in calls.
- Promote and share the best practice of projects funded by cohesion policy in Sardinia.
- Involve all stakeholders in a discussion on the future of the EU cohesion strategy.
