RURALITIES

Empower citizens of rural and remote areas to become real actors for the improvement of the social and physical living conditions in their localities

Project

Ruralities aims at empowering citizens of rural and remote areas to become real actors for the improvement of the social and physical living conditions in their localities.

One of the most important ways of empowering citizen participation is through education and knowledge transfer. Therefore we will create an educational tool for teaching to people and to local stakeholders, the forms and methods of active participation.

Ruralities will approach participation from the everyday’s citizen’s perspective: our products will be based on practice oriented research including theoretical and practical approaches, that will be translated into simple and well understandable learning messages.
