Welcome to Võru
Dear conference participant,
I welcome you at the conference “Joint Initiatives
– New Challenges” dedicated to the cross border cooperation and taking place in the county centre Võru
in South Estonia, not far from the place where the
borders of Estonia, Latvia and Russia meet.
Cross-border cooperation is a part of the European
territorial cooperation objective, which has been one
of the components of the Cohesion policy already for
twenty-two years. The impact of territorial cooperation has gradually grown over the years. This year the
European Cooperation Day is celebrated for the first
time to mark its continuing importance.
The cross-border cooperation projects are aimed
at sharing the experience and improving the quality of life of the border communities. Implementing
projects together with the neighbouring country is
the feature that makes these projects unique. Joint
challenges and activities, shared experience and
The geographic location of Võrumaa puts us in
excellent position for housing domestic and foreign
investments. We are located in the crossroads of the
Riga port and the large market of Russia. This potential of the region should be used up to the maximum
to ensure the future development.
Vocational education center in Võrumaa provides
learners with the practical skills and theoretical
commonly achieved results help best to get to know
your neighbours and to understand their mentality,
culture and traditions. Developing transport connections, research networks and tourism centres, contributions to environment protection – these are only
limited fields where joint undertakings across the
border are usually more beneficial than individual
activities.
The projects in the framework of Estonia – Latvia
and Estonia – Latvia – Russia Programmes have a
visible impact on the development of the regions.
The conference gives an overview and analysis the
results achieved so far, as well as makes recommendations for the future. It is the right time to design
and set goals for the next financing period. I hope
that the conclusions of the conference will set the
basis for the fruitful discussion, which in turn will result in many innovative project ideas giving the border regions further impetus for their development.
I wish you a successful conference!

Head of the Regional Development Department and
Head of the Managing Authority of the Estonia –
Latvia Programme 2007-2013,

knowledge for their work. Graduates from Vocational
school are well prepared for the job market. County
government is responsible for the development of
human resources and we ensure that the training
is competitive and also prepares competitive young
people for the real situation in the job market.
To achieve these goals, we are determined to
work relentlessly alone and together with our neighbors. The cross-border cooperation programmes are
a great help in our efforts and allow us work closely
together with our closest foreign neighbors in Latvia
and Russia.
I wish everyone a successful and productive
cross-border conference in Võru!

Governor of Võru County

European Territorial Cooperation
European Territorial Cooperation is a tool of the
European Union that brings people together,
across borders, in order to solve common or
similar issues that cannot be easily managed
within a single country.
By pulling together knowledge and resources,
European territorial Cooperation helps strengthen
administration, transportation, healthcare,
education and so much more.
All these actions and projects take place thanks to
the involvement of local and regional institutions,
universities, companies, research institutes and
other organizations.
There are all together 11 European Territorial
Cooperation programmes operating in the Baltic
States. They cover cross-border cooperation
(such as Estonia - Latvia Programme, Latvia
- Lithuania Programme, Lithuania - Poland
Programme, Central Baltic Programme, South
Baltic Programme), as well as cooperation on
external European Union border (such as
Estonia -Latvia - Russia and Latvia - LithuaniaBelarus programmes within European
Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument),
transnational cooperation (such as Baltic
Sea Region Programme) and interregional
cooperation (such as ESPON, UrbAct,
Interreg IVC ).
The programmes are financed from
the European Regional Development
Fund, European Neighborhood and
Partnership Instrument and EU
member states’ national
budgets.

European Cooperation Day 2012
This year September 21 will be marked
as the European Cooperation Day to
celebrate the success of European territorial
cooperation across Europe. The slogan of
this day is “Sharing Borders, Growing Closer”.
More than 70 programmes, including 11
programmes that operate in the Baltic states,
are participating in marking this day with
special outreach activities that have one
simple goal – to tell the people how these
programmes have improved the quality of life
in their regions.
„This will be a great opportunity to recognize
how territorial cooperation helps to bring
Europeans closer together, share ideas
across borders and solve common
problems. In our proposals for the next
period of the European Union regional
funding we have called for increased
territorial cooperation. This means
that we will have more resources and
stronger basis for action in the future,“
says European Union Regional Policy
Commissioner Johannes Hahn in
his message for the European
Cooperation Day 2012.

EUROPEAN
COOPERATION
DAY 2012
SHARING BORDERS,GROWING CLOSER
Projects supported by European Territorial
Cooperation programmes in the Baltic states
will organize a series of Open Doors events,
during which they will welcome people to visit
them and participate in various activities and
thus learn the benefits of European territorial
cooperation in their area. Cooperation does
not stop at the borders – many projects also
involve neighboring non-EU countries.
The events will range from thematic lectures
and opportunities to visit organizations to
food tasting events and cross-border races.
The European Cooperation Day will be
marked for the first time on September
21, 2012. It is an initiative of European
Territorial Cooperation programmes
that they hope to continue also
in the future.

Documentary Film
„Better Neighbors /
Paremad naabrid / Labāki kaimiņi“
Four students – two Latvians (Katrīna Veismane and
Mārtiņš Pūris) and two Estonians (Ester Kuntu
and Janis Rizhovs) – travel across Latvia
and Estonia with a goal to find out in
which areas Latvians and Estonians
understand each other well and
what they can do together, what
they can learn together and
what stereotypes about each
other they should overcome.
The road trip mostly takes place
in the border area – the students
travel on the road that connects
both countries, they meet people that
have learned to turn good neighboring
relations into mutual benefits. On their way they
meet Estonian and Latvian farmers, who learn from each other, and are ready to sell
ecological farm produce to restaurants in cities, they meet musicians that play music
together with their traditional musical instruments, they meet children and young
people that share common interests, as well as visit border cities Ape, Valka and Valga,
where different generations enjoy good neighboring relations.
The road trip movie is a joint project between Estonian film studio Allfilm and
Latvian film studio Mistrus Media. Director – Linda Olte, scenario – Guntars Daģis,
camera – Jurģis Kmins, assistant director Daiga Livčāne, producers Inese
Boka-Grūbe (Latvia) and Elīna Ļitvinova (Estonia).

Conference Exhibit „Grand Birds”
Photo stories of the Osprey and White-Tailed Eagle is a part
of Estonia – Latvia part-funded project „Eagles Cross
Borders“, organzied by the Estonian Ornithological
Society, Latvian Fund of Nature, the Eagle Club of Estonia,
Loodusemees and Toomas Tuule Studio. It will be on
display at the conference venue on September 19 but
due to the unavailability of the exhibit space in the
culture house, it will be moved to another location, where
people of Võru will be able to see it. Chances are that you
will see this exhibit also elsewhere in the Baltics, as there
are two sets of this exhibit travelling in Estonia and Latvia.
“Eagles are the grandest of birds,” say the people. It beautifies every
landscape with its mighty picture of flight. Estonians and Latvians have agreed on one
thing: just as eagles enliven natural landscapes, so too do eagle photographs enliven
indoor spaces.
The photographic stories here depict the White-Tailed Eagle and Osprey. This is by
no means a random choice of species – these two species have been the focus of
cooperative work for the Estonian Ornithological Society and the Latvian Fund for
Nature.
Both of the species featured in this exhibition are skilled fishermen. The WhiteTailed Eagle is our largest eagle, while the the Osprey is the smallest. Those who
carefully examine the winter photos will find another very important difference
among the two species.
The photos in the exhibition should be viewed as eagle stories. They are
exhibited as collections: portraits; home and family stories; and hunting stories.
One of the photos depicts the White-tailed Eagle in life size. If you spread
out your arms, you can compare who has the larger “wingspan.”

Põlva County
Põlvamaa – naturally intact yet rapidly developing,
awaits visitors from near and far.
Põlva County (Põlvamaa) provides a Green
Experience that offers an opportunity to
contrast the urbanizing world with a good
mixture of a rich cultural heritage and
relaxing or active holiday options like the
most beautiful forests, mysterious rapid
rivers along with the harmonious and
peaceful life of the countryside. It lies in
the southeastern corner of Estonia and
shares a common border with Russia.
www.polvamaa.ee
People of Põlvamaa are friendly and
helpful.The remarkable pride in Põlva
County is an original historical and ethnic
region Setomaa. At the present Setomaa
is divided into three administrative parts
and one part is situated in Põlva County.
Setos are an autochthonous ethnic and linguistic
minority and the local customs of this border area have
been passed fromgenerations to generations. For centuries they have remained rather
unchanged due to the isolated nature of the region. www.setomaa.ee
„I like Põlvamaa just because its backyard mentality, its calm and dignified progress.
And who knows – maybe in the end of the line, those who did not start to run in
every direction at once, have reached much further.“ – Roy Strider, writer

Valga County
Valgamaa lies along the Estonian border. This county, one of the smallest in Estonia, is rich in
idyllic manors, well preserved manor milieus and invitingly beautiful natural sights.
Due to its natural opportunities, this district has become a highly appreciated tourist and
sports centre. The county has gathered renown among people from abroad with its important
international sports and cultural events.
The favourable snow conditions of Valga County are an attraction for both professional
sportsmen and amateurs, much preferred among the Estonians but also among people
from neighbouring countries. This is a winter paradise. This hilly landscape with its peaks,
beautiful valleys and lakes is the symbol of South-Estonia for many people.
The variable landscape offers lots of joy of discovery for everybody interested in nature and
is a source of inspiration for creative people.
Those who have once been enchanted by the charms of Valga County will find a way back
again and again.
