RuralPlus - Competence Frameworks for Mentors
Topic outline

-
In a world of cities, where 68% of the global population will live in densely populated cities in 2050, around 29% of the total population of the EU today lives in rural areas (Source: United Nations).
The European countryside faces existential challenges ranging from the decline and aging of its population to the shortage of job opportunities and basic services, through the risk of missing the technological train, with the consequent danger of socioeconomic and political marginalization that this scenario implies. If we take a look at the digitization, with a vital role in the growth and competitiveness of economies, we find that the gap digital is 14% on average in the EU, but reaches up to 23% in some Member States, such as, for example,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece and Portugal.
This also translates into a feeling of abandonment that can lead to unexpected scenarios, such as proliferate a feeling of euro skepticism that, for example in the United Kingdom, has caused the departure of the British from the EU.
Despite the challenges ahead, there are opportunities to reinvent the rural world.
Rural Plus is proposed as a tool to continue supporting this process, offering opportunities and tools, in addition to greater synergies, to connect with rural populations, involving them in the construction of the Union.
