Application

When you write your application, be as specific as you can when you describe your project. How and in what way are you planning to connect another World Heritage site with the Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland? In what way is your project interesting for the sites? To show that you have already done some research is also very important as ideas on how the project could enrich the actual sites as well.
A good thing is to put a project name that clearly describes the project. Attachments with former work/projects are also very good to put in the application.
