RuralCulturalPlanning

Rural areas possess unique qualities such as direct access to beautiful natural surroundings, fresh local products, and distinct cultural traditions. However, the development in these areas often stagnates due to the lack of creative individuals who can bring in new ideas and resources.

To address this issue, we launched the RuralCulturalPlanning project in 2022. The project employs a special method that facilitates the development of ideas through collaboration between creatives, politicians and locals in rural areas.

RuralCulturalPlanning is implemented in three countries – Denmark, Latvia and Lithuania. In each rural district of the respective countries, the participants work together to devise innovative solutions to some of the major challenges facing the Baltic Sea region, including depopulation, limited job opportunities, and declining quality of life.

The project is supported by The Council of Baltic Sea States.
