The ADRURAL project is making significant progress toward strengthening rural communities in the Adrion region by integrating proven and innovative smart solutions. Currently, we are in the first phase, focusing on researching challenges, identifying opportunities for innovation in rural areas, and mapping community-driven innovations. The insights gathered will serve as the foundation for planning and implementing future activities.
💡 Info Session – Raising Awareness and Connecting Communities
Our recent Info Session aimed to introduce the ADRURAL project to local citizens in Prespa, emphasizing the long-term benefits it brings to rural communities. The session highlighted how smart solutions and innovative models can support sustainable development, improve local economies, and enhance quality of life. It also served as a platform for building connections between stakeholders, local businesses, and community members, fostering a collaborative environment for future initiatives.
🗣️ Focus Group – Understanding Community Needs
Focus groups are at the core of ADRURAL’s research and development process. They provide an essential space to explore the challenges, needs, and innovation opportunities within rural communities. By gathering direct feedback, experiences, and opinions from people who live and work in these areas, we ensure that the solutions developed are tailored, practical, and impactful.
These discussions are not only a step towards identifying gaps but also an opportunity to co-create strategies with the communities themselves, ensuring that the outcomes of the ADRURAL project are sustainable and relevant.
🌱 Together, we’re shaping smarter, stronger, and more resilient rural areas in the Adrion region!
