On Wednesday the 21/10 at 18.00 there is VIP-AW for the parishes within Klintetraktens Framtid as well as Tofta and Eskelhem. It will be the next step in Leader Gute's project ”Together for our community” in the area. We will meet at Broman & Son in Gnisvärd – and EVERYONE in the area is welcome! Participation is free of charge. During the evening, the Gotlandic trio ”KRAM” will perform!

On Wednesday, September 30th from 14:00–19:00, there is an Open House at Leader Gute's office at Gotland Green Center in Roma. We will inform you about our activities and new/current mini-support and offer snacks with refreshments.

During this program period (2023–2027), Leader Gute has so far prioritized 27 larger project supports for a total of 14.5 million kronor. Now there are limited funds left to apply for – send in a checklist by September 15 to Leader Gute if you want to apply for project support from us! When it comes to mini-supports, there are several different supports for both associations and companies to apply for now and in the future.

The purpose of this support is to preserve meeting places and strengthen ecological and economic sustainability through more efficient water consumption and increased use of rainwater and wastewater. It is aimed at associations that own, manage, or use a meeting place in the island's rural areas. The support is paid out after the project is completed and finalized.

It is now possible to apply for the new mini-support ”Preparedness in the countryside 2.0”. It is aimed at non-profit associations in the island's rural areas, such as community center associations, local heritage associations, development companies, and similar. The support is paid out after the project has been completed and finalized.

This new mini support is aimed at businesses in the island's rural areas. The purpose of the support is to develop and strengthen environmentally sustainable local tourism. The support is paid out after the project has been completed and finalized.

A new mini support is now being launched for entrepreneurs in Gotland's rural areas. The purpose is for companies to be able to further develop in four important areas: product and service development, increased local service, digitalization, or marketing. The support is paid out after the project has been completed and finalized.

The interest in cultivation and processing of fruit is becoming stronger in Gotland. Now Sörmlandsäpplen has started a project with support from Leader Gute to develop and expand the island's fruit industry.

How can ”odd” fish, shellfish, and sea plants in the Baltic Sea be used as part of a regenerative food tourism on islands and in coastal regions within the Baltic Sea area? That was the theme for workshops and study visits on the island of Ösel in Estonia from June 1 to 4. The activity was part of the project Regenerative Blue Food Tourism led by Leader Gute and funded by the Swedish Institute.

Thursday the 10/9 at 18.00 it is time for VIP-AW in the southeastern cluster within Leader Gute's project ”Together for our community”. We meet at Strandakar – and EVERYONE in Etelhem, Garda, Stånga, Burs, När and Eke is welcome! During the evening, the Gotland artist Molly P Bröms will perform.

Now – in June 2026 – Leader Gute has allocated the vast majority of the budget for project support during this program period (2023–2027). Due to returns from completed projects generated during the spring, there is now a limited amount left to apply for:
500,000 kronor within ”General Project Support” and 600,000 kronor within the call ”Rural Enterprises”.

On August 29, it’s time for the youth festival ”RomaPalooza” at Roma Kungsgård. Sign up as a volunteer/safety host!
