In 2012, Leader action groups will meet at the LINC conference in South-Estonia.

This time, the main theme of LINC is INVOLVEMENT AND VOLUNTARY WORK. Involvement is related to creating an environment, in which people are prepared to act, assume responsibility and commit. Involvement is becoming increasingly important in times where the surrounding living environment is undergoing constant changes, where solving the existing problems requires the involvement of various parties and where creative and future-shaping solutions are sought. Involvement should be based on the presumption that every organisation, community, team and person has the wisdom necessary for the creation of common wellbeing. Every action group can create a favourable environment for the expansion of involvement possibilities.

One common method for involving people is through voluntary activities – an area that has been revived in Estonia, as evidenced by the joint waste removal event Let’s Do It 2008 (Teeme Ära 2008) and the joint community work days held in recent years. For a good common cause, people are willing to volunteer their best efforts to create a better living environment.

Let’s meet in South-Estonia!
