Rural Community Hub

CSO: Ecomunera APS
Area: Awareness
Location: Campania Region

Type of project

To create and promote virtuous models where inner areas take the lead in the ecological transition, serving as grassroots experimentation hubs for new forms of economy, production, and consumption.

The project aims to engage “disengaged” citizens through practical activities. 

The goal of the project is to establish a “Rural Community Hub”: a physical and digital space designed to serve as both a hub for social interaction and activation, an informational and educational platform on environmental and territorial regeneration topics, and a space for co-creation and experimentation with ecological and sustainable practices.

Target (DIsengaged)

Workshops are a method of engaging disengaged citizens through practical and easily accessible activities that can convey educational content on energy use, circular economy, and environmental protection, serving as opportunities for non-formal education.

Planned activities

• Setting up the Rural Hub: Redevelopment of rural spaces to make them functional for public meetings, workshops, events and associative co-living. The farmhouse will also host other entities active in the area.
• Practical and participatory workshops: Workshops on self-construction, the use of renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and solar cooking, to experiment with concrete practices of ecological transition.
• Training and territorial co-design: Paths with universities, communities and associations for the development of shared local micro-projects, including renewable energy communities (CER) and circular economy initiatives.
• Public events and social days: Opportunities for meetings open to citizens to raise awareness, activate networks and strengthen the sense of belonging to the territorial community.

• Engaging “disengaged” citizens through practical activities to introduce and experiment with sustainability concepts.
