- Developing a common implementation structure of the project that united, both historically and culturally, the two regions- the two parts of Bukovina.
Goals:

- support and growth in number of the cross border meetings of the target group: workers from NGOs, youngsters, craftsmen, artists;
- promoting the tourism from Bukovina, on both sides of the frontier.
The relevance of the action:
The actions are meant to encourage and support the creation of some lasting cooperation networks between the two regions, thing that involves the representatives of the training educational institutions, cultural institutions, schools, NGOs and individual craftsmen. During the unfolding of the activities, the accent is put on the development of the local organizations’ capacities and abilities in setting up and implementing projects for the development of the cross border region. Through the training courses in the project elaboration field and in the common educational projects, common implementation structures of projects are developing, as well as the promotion of the local traditions in the context of acknowledging the European citizenship. The mixed teams are made up of people from the two countries in order to be able to form a united group and to set up communitarian common projects.
The cultural exchanges are realized through actions that are meant to put back into rights the traditional craft art in parallel to modern plastic art and the promotion of the local folk in correlation to the promotion of cult music and the literary-artistic clubs. The fairs and expositions set for every country, as well as the music festivals, aim at bringing to light the importance of the creators’ activities in the development of people’s personality, people belonging to the two regions, as well as the sensitization of the population on authentic art and their contribution to putting back into rights their traditions.
Through the making of the teams, permanent structures are being created within the local and regional organizations, having members on both sides of the border, structures that will work together and stimulate the activities of other groups, too.
The action is relevant to the program’s priority because it has in view the following dimensions: improving the information between the border regions; sustaining the forming and training activities in order to get access to the finances within the European programs; developing a cultural cooperation between the twinned regions on both sides of the frontier.
The two counties face similar needs and constraints:
At community level, on the application of the local democracy concept dimension, the following needs and constraints can be met: the acknowledgement of the public opinion on the importance of promoting and putting into application the democratic principles; the stimulation of the involvement and cooperation of the influencing poles- the civil society, syndicates, patronages, political sphere – regarding the good motion of the communities which they represent and in which/ for which they act.
Needs and constraints can also be met at the level of the cultural-artistic mobility of the people from the two regions directly involved in the project (Suceava and Cernauti), as well as at the cultural-artistic level, in general.
At the level of cooperation in the tourism and amusement activities field there have been identified the following needs and constraints:
There is no optimal cooperation between the tourism agencies that promote tourist services/packages in the project’s activity fields– Suceava and Cernauti, so that the tourists, especially the ones from abroad, are offered the possibility to choose certain trips to see both regions at the same time. Due to the extremely high tourist potential of Bukovina on both sides of the border it is also necessary to pay careful attention to the activities’ promotion of this area, as an economic development source of the two communities.
The succinct description of the events:
Training courses which provide access to European programs
- training courses meant to familiarize with the pre-adhesion instruments, the programs of the EU, the main sites through which these programs can be known, as well as the data when these projects can be handed within every program; the procedural files specific to each program and so on.
- training courses to get to know the principles that lay at the basis of European programs, of the financing priorities, the writing of the financing proposals/ applications– the technique of writing projects, aspects regarding the management and implementation of the project etc.
