Title: Retelling the European Future – Opportunity for Rural Municipalities to decrease the impact of Euroscepticism at local level
Summary
This Network of Towns project provided us with the opportunity to bring together 27 rural municipalities from various parts of the European Union, all of whom shared concerns about the growing Euroscepticism at both institutional and civic levels. REFORM is our answer to that problem. The title speaks for itself – reforms are needed to remain united and build a strong and improved EU for the future.The project's primary goals included reducing Euroscepticism at the local level, strengthening democratic engagement, promoting volunteering, and contributing to the development of a future European society.Over the course of 3 years, participants acquired knowledge about the EU's institutions, benefits, common values, history, and diverse cultures. Moreover, they learned from one another and collectively addressed Euroscepticism. The project was carried out in the form of a “university” believing that only education can aid in making meaningful changes and reforms in the world.We organised three Seminars (in The Netherlands, Hungary, and Latvia) with one third of the partners involved, where the participants challenged Europe’s current problems, two Summer Academies (in Croatia and Spain) and a Closing Conference (in Romania) with all the partners involved, where participants had the opportunity to share their experience and good practices about the main topics. Event Nr. 1 Seminar in The Netherlands - involved 77 citizens, took place in Esch, The Netherlands, from 25/05/2022 to 30/05/2022 focusing on Migration.Event Nr. 2 Summer Academy in Spain - involved 149 citizens, took place in Bienvenida, Spain, from 14/07/2022 to 18/07/2022 with a main topic of Fake news.Event Nr. 3 Seminar in Hungary - involved 70 citizens and took place in Nagycenk, Hungary, from 22/09/2022 to 25/09/2022 revolving around Promotion of the advantages of EU membership and debating the future of the EU.Event Nr. 5 Seminar in Latvia - involved 67 citizens and took place in Kandava, Latvia, from 13/04/2023 to 16/04/2023 focusing on raising awareness of EU institutions and the decision-making process.Event Nr. 6 Seminar in Croatia - involved 84 citizens and took place in Tisno, Croatia, from 26/05/2023 to 31/05/2023 with a main topic of intercultural dialogue with a focus on discussing common history. Event Nr. 6 Summer Academy and closing Conference in Romania - involved 150 citizens and took place in Ibanesti, Romania from 06/07/2023 to 10/07/2023 aiming to define all the outcomes collected throughout the project, summarising the various events and good practices.We kept in mind the concept of cost efficiency to improve the quality of the whole project as all the participants stayed with host families instead of in hotels. They got a real insight into the locals´ lifestyle – this kind of interaction enabled participants to meet, learn from each other, get to know and respect each other, and each other’s way of living better. This action greatly contributed to the success of the project, it deepened and intensified the cooperation of towns, municipalities and individuals as well. The total of 597 participants were directly involved and mobilised across Europe. More than 170 host families participated in 6 meetings providing housing to participants meaning that more than 2200 Europeans were indirectly involved.Through the project's outcomes (RURY comic book, Joint decision, Brochure), dissemination strategies, social media presence, and word-of-mouth promotion, we effectively expanded our reach to 27 European rural communities, connecting with approximately 10,000 Europeans.
