Join the Rural Pact Community Groups

Join the Rural Pact Community Groups to connect and exchange around shared interests!

Do you want to become part of a growing network on rural matters and engage in thematic discussions with stakeholders across Europe? Membership of the Rural Pact allows you to join the Rural Pact Community Groups and take part in insightful discussions around specific topics. 

The Rural Pact Community Groups are online spaces where civil society, researchers, public authorities and citizens can exchange experiences, share best practices and explore solutions to common challenges on various topics.

Hosted on the Rural Pact Community Platform, these Groups intend to inspire knowledge sharing and collective action on energy, tourism, culture, depopulation and repopulation, innovation in public policy, rural mobility, social economy, youth, migration, mountain areas, women and Smart Villages. 

While the discussions of the Community Groups are in English, the entire content can be automatically translated in any of the official EU languages via the ‘Translate this page’ button at the bottom of each page. 

The groups welcome all interested members of the Rural Pact! Take part by engaging in respectful discussions, responding to calls for inputs and sharing your news, events or publications.

Become a member of the Rural Pact Community and join one or several groups of interest. Get a wide range of benefits, including priority access to Rural Pact Support Office activities, the monthly newsletter and the opportunity to showcase your action for thriving rural areas.
