umbrella project – preparedness workshop
About the project
The Umbrella Project – Preparedness Workshop is an implementation project that follows the feasibility study 2024-1170 Prepared in
Sörmland – preliminary study.
The objective of the feasibility study was to investigate possible preparedness interventions through Leader in Leader

The feasibility study has identified the following preparedness needs:

- Umbrella project – Preparedness workshop
The umbrella project – Preparedness Workshop will enable the implementation of ideas that arise in the project Ready in the Södermanland hinterland – preparedness in collaboration.
