For 20 years, PREPARE (Partnerships for Rural Europe) has played a key role in rural development, bringing together rural actors and stimulating exchange in the unique format of “travelling workshops”, a combination of visits, interactive discussions and joint learning. Thanks to this approach, hundreds of rural NGOs and community groups, active rural inhabitants, as well as many representatives of national, regional and local authorities have been able to meet and discuss the key challenges of rural areas and the best ways to address them.
