Project description
Promoting social inclusion in rural communities
Inhabitants of rural areas, including vulnerable groups, often face limited social inclusion, which impacts their well-being. The EU-funded INSPIRE project aims to support the sustainable development of rural areas in Europe by enhancing social well-being and inclusion for rural residents and vulnerable groups. Specifically, the project will promote social inclusion and improve access to high-quality social services through awareness-raising, capacity-building, and pilot initiatives in coastal, rural, peri-urban, and mountainous regions. The focus is on social entrepreneurship. It will introduce a new typology of rural areas, establish Smart Village Labs, and improve governance frameworks and policymaking through e-democracy and user-innovation techniques. Additionally, the project will deliver a dedicated Rural Social Inclusion Policy Dashboard.
Objective
"INSPIRE project supports sustainable and inclusive development of European rural areas by promoting social wellbeing and inclusion of rural dwellers and vulnerable groups. In particular, the project contributes to advancing in a multi-dimensional way the concept of social inclusion in rural areas, and supports the access to high-quality social services by rural citizens through a series of awareness-raising, capacity-building, and pilot deployment activities that focus on social entrepreneurship in a set of 7 different pilot territories (e.g. coastal, rural, peri-urban, mountainous). To realise its objectives, the project provides a novel territorial typology of rural areas, sets up and operationalises ""Smart Village labs"", and enhances governance frameworks and informed policy making through E-Democracy and user-innovation techniques, to eventually deliver a dedicated Rural Social Inclusion Policy Dashboard."
