A short animated film was prepared by ODRAZ in order to inform public about the new approach to the local development in the EU 2014-2020 – Community Led Local Development (CLLD).
The principles of such development are explained, with the aim to animate and encourage citizens to come together and initiate activities in their communities.
The approach is based on networking and partnership of representatives of all sectors (public, civil and business) in creation and implementation of local development strategies towards a more sustainable future.
This is a very powerful tool that, especially in the time of crisis, should show that local communities are able to take smart, sustainable and inclusive steps in different areas of the local development.
Directing, illustration and animation of the film was made by ODRAZ’s long-time collaborator Natko Stipaničev, The script for the film was written by Natko Stipaničev, Lidija Pavić-Rogošić and Višnja Jelić Mück from ODRAZ.
The film was financed by the City of Zagreb within the project “Active Citizens as a driver for local development”.
