Pop-up rural socio-innovative hubs
The project POP-UP rural socio-innovative hubs is approved within the Open Call “Support to the development of partnerships of civil society organizations and higher education institutions for the implementation of socially useful learning programs” funded by the European Social Fund. The project aims to develop, test and validate an inclusive and participative program of socially beneficial learning in the field of sustainable rural development.
