In the Warmia and Mazury region there are actually 15 local action groups (LAG) of different territorial and population potential. By their activity they cover the whole territory of the Warmia-Mazury voivodeship, while in the Elk subregion is embraced especially by 4 LAG: “Stronger Together,” “Mazurian Sea,” the Union of Associations for the Communal Development of the North-ern Area of the Great Mazurian Lakes, and “Leader in EGO.” The article con-centrates on the activity of “Leader in EGO” LAG, where “EGO” is an acronym which stands for the names of three small subregions: Elk, Goldap, and Olecko. The author delivers analyses of the results of the “Leader in EGO” LAG par-ticipation in such social development programs as: “Small Projects,” “The Renovation and Development of Village,” “The Diversification in Non-Agricultural Activity,” and “The Creation and Development of Micro-Entrepreneurship.”
From the undertaken analyses it results that more careful attention should be given for the parental contribution to the educative process. The author stresses that the professional development of teachers should be accompanied by the stronger involvement of parents in being responsible for the education of their children. It seems that now didactic achievements of school are still expected too automatically.
