They will be made and fixed according to the rules which are on the Financial Mechanism Office website and in Appendix A.

Posters - made to inform public opinion about the role of Financial Mechanism in the support of the project. These posters will be permanently fixed in public place on the site of the modernised buildings. They will also be displayed on the information board in the building of Gmina Kłodzko.

The information materials - before and after the realisation of the project the information materials (leaflets) will be prepared. These materials will contain the information about the source of the funding, the aim of the project and the benefits of its realisation. In order to reach greater number of audience, the information in the leaflets will be published online on Gmina Klodzko webpage www.gmina.klodzko.pl
