The project has one main objective: to "correct" the lack of visibility of citizens of rural areas in the media by encouraging them to make their voices heard, to take part in public debate and democratic life, to talk about their daily lives, to make the identity of their territory better known, to tell their story. To do this, the project proposed to support, train and develop the skills of rural communities in the creation and animation of local, collaborative, participatory and independent digital media: blogs, webTV, mobile journalism, etc., so that these communities are able to speak out and be part of democratic life. RURAL STORIES aimed at reducing territorial inequalities, empowering rural citizens in their media voice, creating and sustaining communities and mobilizing organizations at the European level. The project wanted to address the challenges faced by rural territories in terms of social development, citizen participation, digital inclusion and experience sharing at the European level.
