Through voluntary efforts, creativity, and small resources, the project has created lasting values and laid the foundation for long-term engagement for the future.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>About the project<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the category of Best Young Leader Project of the Year, the award goes to Karsholms G\u00e4ddfabrik, an initiative driven by the fishing enthusiast 15-year-old Ruben in the Stockholm archipelago.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Aiming to contribute to the preservation of threatened predatory fish stocks, Ruben took the initiative to create a spawning area for pike and perch at Karsholm. To realize the idea, he formed the Karsholm Fishing Conservation Association and carried out the project together with an adult mentor, experts in fish conservation, and local islanders.<\/p>\n<p>The project has not only created important environmental values but also inspired other young people to believe in their ideas and the possibility of putting them into practical action.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leaderstockholmsbygd.se\/projekt\/karsholms-gaddfabrik\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more about the project<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Winner in the category of Best Leader Project of the Year<\/h4>\n<h2>Beredda Byar \u2013 a preparedness project across municipal borders<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rU6TnGbsa6w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the winner film here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jury's motivation<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201dWith broad engagement and strong collaboration around a pressing issue, the winner of the Leader Project of the Year has changed the perception of local resilience.
