Empowering rural communities to act for change

Descripción del proyecto

Unas zonas rurales más ecológicas, inteligentes e integradoras

En el corazón de la Europa rural, las comunidades afrontan la urgente necesidad de ser sostenibles al tiempo que preservan su modo de vida único. Estas regiones se enfrentan a un acuciante dilema: cómo abrazar la innovación y el progreso social sin perder su identidad y patrimonio rurales. Teniendo esto en cuenta, el equipo del proyecto RURACTIVE, financiado con fondos europeos, ofrecerá soluciones a medida e impulsadas por la comunidad para este reto crítico. El proyecto, que abarca doce zonas piloto de siete Estados miembros de la Unión Europea (UE) dos países asociados y Suiza, es una iniciativa audaz destinada a capacitar a las comunidades rurales para que lideren el camino hacia un futuro más sostenible. Dota a estas comunidades de conocimientos, habilidades y recursos, promoviendo una toma de decisiones integradora que garantice que incluso las voces más vulnerables sean escuchadas.

Objetivo

RURACTIVE aims to foster a just and sustainable transition of rural areas by developing smart, community-led, tailor-made, place-based and inclusive solutions within local Multi-Actor Rural Innovation Ecosystems (RIEs) in 12 pilot area (Dynamos - Ds) in 7 EU, 2 Associated Countries and Switzerland. RURACTIVE will unlock the innovation potential of rural communities by addressing six integrated Rural Development Drivers (RDDs) – namely multimodal mobility, energy transition, agri-food and agroecology, culture and cultural innovation, health and wellbeing, nature-based and cultural tourism – and transversally integrating climate change mitigation and adaption, biodiversity and social justice and inclusion.
RURACTIVE will empower rural communities to act for societal change, by making available existing knowledge around smart solutions that integrate various forms of innovation (digital and technological, technical, organizational and social, business models and financial) and enhancing rural communities' capacities and skills, by providing training, capacity building, and knowledge transfer. Implementing a methodology for RIEs establishment in 12 Ds, RURACTIVE will work towards inclusive decision-making processes for all, including vulnerable groups and people at risk of exclusion, providing RIEs with instruments and capacities to collaboratively co-develop, co-implement and co-monitor smart and community-led solutions. Also, by offering an open set of data-driven tools (Decision Support Tool, Adaptive Monitoring tool), a digital infrastructure (RURACTIVE Digital Hub), and defining a programme for external Innovators, RURACTIVE will provide a fertile ground for change in rural areas. Results will be out-scaled through knowledge exchanges and networking at EU level (open contest for Additional Ds and RURACTIVE Forum), the deployment of training and capacity building activities for further rural communities and the creation of open e-learning courses and MOOC.
