During the meeting, project partners presented the progress of the RURAL’COM Handbook, with each partner showcasing their respective chapters. These chapters covered topics such as:
- Rural Resilience and the Sustainable Agenda,
- Resilience in Practice through case studies and best practices from Romania, Belgium, and Ireland,
- Building Sustainable Communities in Rural Areas, and
- Pedagogy, Management, and Communication Skills for delivering workshops on resilience and sustainability.
The handbook aims to enhance professionals’ skills by offering pedagogical training and insights, empowering organisations to support rural communities in becoming more resilient and sustainable. The exchange of experiences will further equip professionals to assist rural citizens in overcoming challenges and fostering sustainable communities. The handbook will be available in English, Romanian, and French by November 2024.
