for sustainable rural areas
Projects & Practice

An example of an initiative promoting energy efficiency that addresses climate change through targeted actions at grassroots level.

The project considered built heritage as a development lever for a rural area and relied upon the younger generation to raise awareness about it and to take care of it in the longer term.

An educational peer-to-peer programme for farmers that are engaged into innovative practices, facilitated through participative techniques and scientific expertise.

LEADER support was used to exploit the potential of using large quantities of waste wood from landscape management as a renewable energy source.

The project supported the area of Chimay to promote 'green tourism' and boost local development by fostering cooperation among local stakeholders.
