A recent ENRD workshop explored opportunities provided by the Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) for improving social inclusion in rural areas. Specifically, it examined LEADER/CLLD and rural networking approaches, tools and practices of effective social inclusion.
The event identified and discussed good practices for integrating migrants and asylum seekers, young people, Roma, and women into rural life and employment, with a particular focus on bottom-up initiatives. See the event webpage for a series of factsheets on many of these topics.
Participants discussed specific actions under the RDPs that could further support social inclusion of groups at risk of marginalisation, highlighting the contributions that Local Action Groups (LAGs) and Network Support Units’ (NSUs) can make.
The ENRD Contact Point will continue to collect good practice examples on this topic and explore how opportunities provided by the RDPs are realised across EU Member States.
