New mini-support: Implement environmental projects together with children and young people!

Non-profit associations and public actors with operations in Gotland's rural areas can now apply for the mini-support Young Environment.

The support is for environmental projects that associations or public actors carry out together with children and/or young people up to 30 years old.

The projects should consist of concrete environmental efforts and activities that combine learning with practical application.

The support is 15,000 – 24,000 kronor and can for example be used for:

• Costs for consultancy services/speakers/guides to provide increased knowledge about nature, the environment, and outdoor care.

• Material costs for active environmental efforts, pilot tests, experiments, or similar. For example, bee hotels, birdhouses, favorable environments for pollinators and insects, habitat care in flowing water, pilot tests, or purchase of equipment for clearing or water measures.

• Rental of buses, ferry tickets, and venue rental/accommodation for camp activities or excursions focusing on e.g. bird observations, sustainable outdoor life, restoration of local habitats, inventory of species and biodiversity, or documentation of ecosystems.

• Food costs or mileage reimbursement cannot be included in this support.
