Living with our neighbours "face to face" instead of "back to back". The Euroregion Elbe/Labe brings people along the Saxon-Czech border together. Our goals are to build mutual trust and to promote cross-border cooperation in all fields.
Starting in Sunday, Czech Republic will no longer be a risk area, and Germany will be downgraded to the orange category. This will remove many of the restrictions on crossing borders.
The Robert Koch Institute announced this afternoon that the Czech Republic will no longer be classified as a risk area as of Sunday due to the sharp decrease in the number of infections. This removes all restrictions on entry (including return) from the Czech Republic.
At the same time, the Czech government is moving Germany down to the orange category from 7.6. (Monday!), so to medium risk. This does not remove all restrictions on entry, but in particular the obligation to quarantine and a second corona test is no longer necessary. Registration and a negative corona test are still required for entry.
The German-Czech Future Fund provides very attractive special funding for the border area to support measures to mitigate the health and social consequences of the corona pandemic.
The pandemic situation is gradually improving on both sides of the border, but one year of Corona has had a huge impact on the lives of many. Children, young people and families are particularly affected, including people on short-time work and senior citizens. In the border regions in particular, the social consequences of the current crisis and its effects in the future could become particularly evident.
That is why the German-Czech Future Fund wants to once again support the ideas and activities of associations, non-profit organizations and initiatives that are able to counter the consequences of the pandemic exactly where it is really necessary. You would like to support those who do something against the above and similar effects of the corona pandemic and support social and health activities in the German-Czech border area.
Providers of social and health services, nursing homes, residential groups, children's facilities, etc.
Educational and cultural initiatives

the activities must be carried out in the German-Czech border area (up to 30 km from the border)
In contrast to the usual funding, no Czech project partner is required

Die Technische Universität Dresden, Institut für Politikwissenschaft, die Univerzita J.E. Purkyné Usti nad Labem, Katedra politologie, die Euroregion Elbe/Labe, und die Aktion Zivilcourage e.V., Pirna kooperieren seit März gemeinsam in einem tschechisch-deutschen Modellprojekt zum Thema Demokratieförderung und Zivilcourage.
Projekt CouReg zielt auf junge Menschen im sächsischen und böhmischen Grenzland. Unser Ziel ist die Stärkung und der Ausbau von demokratischen Potentialen. Konkret werden Bildungsmodule mit Lehrmaterialien 1) für Schüler und 2) für Studenten zum Thema Zivilcourage und zivilgesellschaftlichem Engagement entwickelt. Unser Projekt will diese Fähigkeiten trainieren und damit interkulturelle und demokratische Kompetenzen bei der jungen Generation zwischen 14 und 25 Jahren ausbauen.
