Lessons from LEADER +
• Be prepared: make sure you understand a common language and appreciate cultural differences
• Take time to explore the project idea and understand what is involved: take advantage of any funds for preparatory work
• Don’t underestimate the time needed to do certain things
• Be aware of technical (programming) differences with regard to national procedures and timing!

Lessons from LEADER +
• Have a very clear structure and clear responsibilities between the different partners – leading LAG very important if more than 2 partners
• Don’t set too ambitious targets – projects can be done in phases
• Don’t reinvent the wheel! Look to see what is already being done in similar areas; on similar themes, and with similar tools to achieve similar aims
• Rural Networks, websites, seminars - all provide ideas and help – use these to find good ideas that you can turn into great ideas
