Europe For Citizens
The project REN stems from some needs, common to all partners identified in the project planning phase. Indeed, partnering countries are characterized by two distinctive features: an ageing population and the abandonment of the areas by young people who move elsewhere looking for new work opportunities.
Youth unemployment, an innovative political agenda and sharing of expertise on how to improve the competitiveness of the territories represent the main challenges that the project partners want to deal with at the transnational level in order to analyze and share innovative and strategic practices. The project partnership is composed of 8 Municipalities from 5 European countries, each of them has involved local stakeholders, people, groups and associations interested in analyzing, deepening and participating in the themes of the project.
The overall objective of the project is to increase the attractiveness of the municipalities involved to make the best of their potential in the rural sector. The specific objectives are:

The project REN foresaw events with different plans and involvement of direct participants, around 500 during the whole project length, and local stakeholders. The interconnection between transnational and local events represents an important added value of the REN project. First of all European partners identified, discussed and exchanged their project experiences and best practices in two transnational meetings.
The first one dedicated to formal and informal education and training for young farmers to increase competitiveness in the countryside-city context and the second one, about alternative opportunities for farmers in sustainable tourism, social, and environmental frameworks.
The second step could be identified in the exchange of specific best practices among local stakeholders thanks to local valorization seminars held in the 5 European countries of the partnership. After these meetings, 12 best practices have been identified as the most important ones which could be transferred from one country to the other with due changes. The project results and outcomes have been presented in a final meeting
Our objective is to increase cooperation among the
members of the network, between Italy and Sweden
and, more in general, the North and South of
the European Union.
