RURITAGE developed a set of Policy Recommendations, primarily addressed to regional public authorities who are developing, implementing and/or monitoring and evaluating RIS3, as well as public authorities managing rural areas, communities, towns or small cities which are interested in developing, engaging in and/or implementing RIS3.
The role of ICLEI Europe in RURITAGE
ICLEI Europe led the project’s communication and dissemination efforts, developing policy recommendations for the promotion of Cultural and Natural Heritage (CNH) as a driver for sustainable development.
Furthermore, ICLEI Europe (website) facilitated workshops and webinars for capacity building and knowledge sharing in Role Model and Replicator sites and beyond. The technical partner also assisted with building the Ruritage Replication Toolbox for others interested in the project methodology.
ICLEI Europe’s primary product were the set of policy recommendations.
How can people outside the network use the tools
Policymakers in cultural and other fields can learn more about the interconnections between CNH and sustainable development through our policy brief. We hope it is used as a resource for action and advocacy.
