Development activities in almost every village
In Liveri, as in other Leader groups, people are encouraged to participate by asking what they could do for the benefit of their own place of residence. Thanks to the activation, 80 % of the 55 villages in the Liiveri area have implemented projects and developed their own local community. The center of many villages is the village hall, almost every one of which has been renovated or improved with Leader funding.
Impressive results with energy investment
The heating system of the campsite building maintained by SF-Caravan Seinäjoki seutu ry was changed to energy efficient, utilizing solar energy and geothermal heat. After the investment, the money has been able to be used for other activities.
RESIDENT SOURCES DEVELOPMENT
Leader projects always have a need behind them. Local people know best how to develop their own residential area, and the Leader funding from the EU's Rural Development Fund offers a tool to fulfill these needs. Liiveri activates, informs and inspires residents to develop.
Myötätuuli Areena allows you to practice nearby
"It has to be said that the hobby conditions improved considerably," commented Ari Loukasmäki, who was involved in the project. The number of IK football license players has increased since the investment. The arena has more than 300 users per week. Möötatuuli Areena has been financed by the Southern Ostrobothnia ELY Center and Liiveri.
Residents creating well-being
Forest of hope - well-being and sustainable diversity
The Toivo metsä is being built in Pappilankorpe, which combines the restoration of nature and well-being. It brings people together, respecting and protecting nature, while creating a place where everyone can enjoy the forest without barriers.
Peräseinäjoki's Pennihäät - investments in theater activities
Theater operations have grown significantly over the past 20 years, which has also put pressure on the premises. With Leader funding, new social and storage facilities were built in connection with the Aisamäki summer theater.
Ilmajoki dog park - The long-awaited dog park for Ilmajoki
Hurttahaka ry of Ilmajoki built a long-needed dog park in Ilmajoki. Now in the large dog park of about 600 square meters, found behind Mötätuuli Areena, both big and small dogs can go outside on their own.
LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT
FOR THE GOOD OF THE VILLAGES
The development of the villages is based on the desire to promote the residents' activity and improve the villages' comfort and everyday safety. A huge amount of voluntary work is done in the villages, which creates well-being in their surroundings. Village activities also strengthen community spirit and root residents in their home region. A village expert works in Liiver, who supports villages and districts in their development.
Irma Kortesuo, who worked as a village expert for 10 years:
"I hope that the development work will continue in the future as well"
Irma Kortesuo, who worked as a village expert for a long time, retired in October 2022. Irma managed to lead four different village projects in Liiver.
- Promoting cooperation between and within villages has been important to me. The villages are different from each other and have different strengths. At its best, cooperation means joining forces, learning from others and also learning to appreciate others, sums up Irma.
The best thing about work has been working together. It has been the red thread in everything we do.
The party hall register gathers the region's party and meeting facilities together
The banquet hall register created and maintained by Liiver brings together the associations' banquet and meeting facilities from the Seinäjoki, Ilmajoki and Jalasjärvi areas.
Liiveri compiled the first party hall register already in 2009. Registers have also been compiled in other regions.
The examples of the villages show how Leader funding has boosted the vitality of the villages

COMMUNITY TO THE AREA
AS A POWER RESERVE
Community spirit is important because it strengthens the social network and increases the residents' well-being. A tight-knit community supports each other in everyday life, improves the quality of life and makes the countryside a more attractive place to live. Community spirit is also the key to the success of local projects and services.
The work done in the projects supports well-being
Community spirit strengthens commitment and the culture of participation
The history table route inspires you to participate
The leader-financed history board route is not only a concrete project of bringing history to light, but also a strong sign of community spirit and enthusiasm for the development of one's own village.
The cooperation group of the villages continues to support
The cooperation group of the villages of Jalasjärvi started already in 2011 from the development project of the villages of Jalasjärvi. The project promoted cooperation between villages, community and housing.
The village calendar project increased the sense of community among young people
"In our village club, all ideas are always welcomed with enthusiasm, as well as this one. Young people always get support and encouragement from the village club", says Aino Välkkilä from the village of Könni.
