project 2016-2022
Together we create engagement and results.
In 2015, the operation started with a clear vision: To create a place where creativity and natural resources provide vitality. Over the years, we have worked together with engaged people and ideas to put the strategy into motion and achieve our goals. Throughout the journey, creative people have been crucial in shaping new solutions together. In true Leader spirit we have seen that it is the small efforts that shape the large development.
In our magazine, you will get to know a couple of all the projects we have supported over the years 2016-2022.

Hangelösa community association
Physical and digital
meeting places
In Hangelösa, the community association joined forces with the sports club to create more personal meetings. Here, physical and digital meeting places were developed in the form of outdoor gyms and climbing walls for more activities, gymnastics, and mat curling meetings in the community center. A digital room was established with video games and cinema equipment.
The archipelago kingdom Torsö
Collaboration for
increased tourism
”For me, Torsö means so much more than a nice place to live and work. The island gives me a calm and the opportunity to find new energy when I need it. Walking through Torsö's forests, alone or with the children, and sitting on a rock is balm for the soul.”
This is what Amanda Hessle, guide, translator, and Torsö resident says. On Torsö outside Mariestad, entrepreneurs, associations, and the municipality have together driven Leader projects to develop tourism on the island.
Valeria & Vasilika Bussahagen vegetables
Product and brand development
Valeria and Vasilika in Töreboda have in recent years transitioned from growing for themselves to developing a market garden where they grow organic vegetables in open fields. Today, they sell their vegetables to restaurants in the local area and also to private consumers.
They are two enthusiasts who believe that good food is fundamental to a fulfilling life and a healthy society. They grow various types of crops that thrive in Sweden and experiment with more unusual varieties to also offer exciting flavors that are not found in grocery stores.
