Greetings from Poland!  At the moment we are attending the IP on rural development in Lublin. The program is very intensive indeed! Within one week, we have not only become acquainted with efforts of authorities to promote rural development but, in small groups, we have also spent three interesting days in several rural districts across the Lublinski region. During this time we visited farmers, entrepreneurs and social groups to get a better insight into their everyday lives, problems and wishes for their future.

Last night, every group presented the region they visited to the whole group. From tomorrow, we will develop project suggestions to tackle the region’s development problems. So, including the many social events that are taking part alongside the programme, another very intensive week lies ahead of us!
