Leader kuudestaan ry

Leader Kuudestaan is local association for rural development located in the province of South Ostrobothnia in the western part of Finland. Our area consist of four municipalities; Alavus, Kuortane, Soini and Ähtäri. During the past program period 2014 – 2022, Leader Kuudestaan had several TNC (transnational cooperation) preprojects and projects with other European Leader groups. Since 2018 we have been organizing many international Erasmus+ Youth exchanges in Finland and other countries with our international partners. We are going to carry on with more TNC projects on this program period 2023 – 2027 with our old partners, but are also willing to find new partners and new ideas! We are especially keen on projects involving young people, culture, environmental questions and entrepreneurship. We also have Erasmus+ accreditation (Youth exchanges) for the program period , which means funding for Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges (3-4 exchanges per year). We are also looking for new international partners for these exchanges in the following years! Please us for more details!
