This is INTEGRURAL
Education for rural resilience in Europe.
INTEGRURAL is a project for rural resilience. We want to support small farmers and microentrepreneurs of remote areas of Europe to access training for innovation and strategic thinking to combine agriculture and heritage management.
We are cultural entrepreneurs, universities, rural municipalities, social labs, digital experts, and researchers from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, and Greece.
Our aim is to facilitate local development and international opportunities.
Integrural in a nutshell
Our aim is to develop a virtual rural living lab framework for local rural communities to capacity build them and connect them to the wider world, focusing on the interrelation between heritage and sustainable development.
