Regenerating rural areas through local heritage resources – the case of RURITAGE

Looking across the world, rural communities tell us the story of a thousand of years long collaboration between nature and human society. In a time of constant new challenges, rural communities must grapple matters beyond protection, but grasp the opportunities – and understand the potential – springing from their diverse and dynamic heritage. RURITAGE project turns rural areas into laboratories to demonstrate Cultural and Natural Heritage as an engine of regeneration and push further knowledge and research around heritage-led regeneration in those territories.
