The UMBRELLA project aims at building the capacity of local actors. We believe that this is the most effective way to deliver better and more sustainable policies at the local level. The projects and smaller bottom-up initiatives initiated at that level enable the achievement of the overarching objectives set by the “top-down” framework provided by the EU, called the European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR).

That is why the EU funding programmes and organizations that use the resources to support their initiatives are important. And that is why the UMBRELLA project is important—because we help to boost this process.
One of the primary objectives of the UMBRELLA project is to provide specific knowledge and skills in the implementation of goals and cross-border cooperation for local and regional entities in the South Baltic Region.

As part of this objective, we have initiated the project to develop a set of educational materials on the subject of project management, consisting of:
– Beneficiary Manual (available for download in this post)
a handbook for beneficiaries of the UMBRELLA project that introduces them to the subject of project management

— Trainer Manual
a handbook for trainers of the UMBRELLA project, who conduct courses and workshops based on Beneficiary Manual

Trainer Manual v.1.0 Download

— Multimedia Presentation
available at the UMBRELLA project Website and intended for use during such courses and workshops as well as for self-education of the beneficiaries.

In the Umbrella project framework, we organized this month another seminars and training on project management. The meetings on 28th Nov in Gdansk, 5th Dec in Kalmar, Sweden and on 10th Dec in Klaipeda, Lithuania.

You can still register for the meetings we will have in January and February 2020, they are all for free, but we have a limited number of places. Register using this link:
