Why the rural area Ø Increasing the Swedish popula4on with a
foreign background . Ø O]en the refugees move to ci4es. Ø Few of them today stay in rural areas. Ø Many are unemployed. Ø Is the countryside an op4on for Swedish
immigrants?

To discuss: • How to build bridges and promote a welcoming culture
among the local popula4on? How to encourage local actors to engage in integra4on?
• How to correctly iden4fy the key gaps and needs of different migrant communi4es?
• How to ensure that Leader strategies and projects can respond to the evolving needs of newcomers with sufficient flexibility?
• What can LAGs do by themselves and how can they work in a more joined up way with other agencies and funds?
