LEADER 2012_Cultural animation in rural bistro/café / pub

The Local Action Group of “Pays de Chaumont” intends to cooperate with other Europeans LAGs in order to develop cultural animations and to spread them throughout its “Bistrots de Pays” network. “Bistrot de Pays” is a French brand. It consists in rural café, restaurants or bars. The place must contribute to the social and economic conservation and animation of the rural village (less than 2000 inhabitants), to propose cultural animations (at least 3 per year), to promote local products and to deliver touristic information.

• Create animation in the last pub of small villages in rural areas, • Maintain social ties and favor social cohesion in rural areas, • Cultural and artistic development, • Economic development : the initiative can generate profits • Participatory approach : elected representatives, civil society, cultural actors of the territory • Create exchanges between the city (cultural actors, theatre…) and the rural areas (rural population…)

• Exchange of good practices • Exchange of cultural animations (dance, music…) • Common promotion of local products, touristic information
