Programme: Rural Development Programme

The current project proposal will be implemented on the territory of LAG-Razlog, in partnership with 3 LAGs from Spain, Galicia region /full partners/ and 2 LAGs from Latvia /associate partners/. The project is oriented towards increasing the value of local culinary products, promoting their consumption at the local level by adding new recipes and combining them with other cuisines, while at the same time promoting the existence of these quality products outside the territories of LAGs participating in the project. This, in turn, will be a prerequisite for the creation of new tourist products to be promoted and offered in other countries of the European Union.
During the implementation of the project, the following main activities will be implemented:
 - Creation of own brand "EUROCHEF" and preparation of advertising and informational materials under the project;
- Studies on the topic: "Identification and valorization of local resources";
- Organization of demonstration culinary events on the territories of the LAG with the participation of the local community;
- Organizing and conducting of trainings for the interested parties on the topics: "Sustainable environmentally friendly packaging of products on the territory" and "Ways of successful presentation of local products from the territory";
- Participation of the LAG in organized culinary fairs/exhibitions in Bulgaria, Spain and Latvia/ in connection with the promotion of the project and the EUROCHEF brand, as well as presentation and promotion of local products from the territories of the LAG;
- Creation of a joint bilingual guide/handbook containing tourist and culinary information;
- Creation of a joint video - film reflecting realized joint events under the project;
- Creation of a sustainability and expansion plan for the EUROCHEF network.
