      Impactful actions. Community development models

      The guide offers an exploration starting from a macro level with an overview of the national and European context, followed by a brief history of the RuralNet network, from which four transversal principles emerge that, in our vision, define community development. These principles are illustrated in practice through 13 best practice models in community development.

      This guide serves as a source of inspiration and motivation for NGOs, public authorities, decision-makers, and civil society representatives interested in community development, who wish for young people in the community to become active participants in rural areas.
