6. Project idea description (max. 30 lines)

On the basis of the common language and cultural traditions that tie "the Croatian" villages of the Molise (Acquaviva Collecroce, Montemitro and San Felice del Molise) to the Croatia, the project-idea is to realize a system that it is an instrument of protection and valorisation, but also a way for mobilisation and for a compatible and sustainable development of the territory. The aim is to strengthen the already existing ties. The idea will be realized through the constitution of a net of services (offices, libraries, data base, etc.), what will have not-occasional, flexible and innovative characteristics in order to contribute to local development of the territories involved. The project would strengthen, also in Croatia through the use of CARDS funds, an initiative already started in the Molise Region and financed with the Community Structural Funds (ERDF). The last recipients will be: public and private bodies and local youth that currently find little possibilities of job and low benefit to live in their villages Small enterprises interested to one profitable development and sustainable tourism (as B&B, restaurants, local producers).

As example, the type of intervention may be: - Definition of common and shared model for the structure - Creation of an information front-office into a net of literary-coffees and/or similar Croatian structures (libraries). - sharpness of a program of activities in collaboration with the local bodies in respect of the main objects of the project.
