Centres of Renewal in Gemer
Bátka and Plešivec

​The Centres of Renewal in Gemer project benefits from a €828,810 grant from Norway

through the Norway Grants. The project has been co-financed from the State Budget of the 

Slovak Republic in the amount of 146,261€. 

​

The aim of the project is to expand our good experience and create two more centers that

brings together local initiatives in the Gemer region. The centers will create space for renewal

local heritage: they will focus on extending existing renovations activities, for training

and acquiring work skills of other unemployed people from MRC in monument

restoration areas. A tool rental and workshops will be set up for the public, which

they will be available free of charge to people living in the surrounding villages. These tools

can local community residents use when repairing small homes, individual or

community projects.
