We're empowering the new rural innovators

Welcome to the Rural Activators Pilot Academy, from the Architecto-Nemata Erasmus+ International project!

This is a pioneer initiative designed to support 30+ upcoming rural innovators across Europe to activate their territories by regenerating unused or abandoned spaces, to develop social innovation inside them, and inspire others to do the same.
We're currently on the lookout for 10 upcoming rural activators in Spain | Portugal | Italy that wish to embody rural regeneration excellence – who aim to bring creative approaches to revitalizing rural spaces and communities.
Important: You won't just learn. You'll take the first steps, bringing your ideas to life, and start your own network of inspiring and established cases.
As a participant in the program, besides accessing a pioneer training, you will discover many inspiring case studies: their work, their journey, their entrepreneurial stories – so you can
model your own strategies on what they've built. You'll also have the opportunity to be in contact with the protagonists of success cases, so you can ask your relevant questions and explore their recipes for rural activation.

Start bringing your rural project to life!
