From March 24th to 29th, participants from across Europe were immersed in an intensive program on "Rural Hacking" developed by Anceu Coliving (@august2028) 🏡
These five days included brainstorming sessions, creative dynamics, meals at local venues, inspirational talks, and shared time in nature 🌱
Each day had a different theme and group goal:
Team building and discovering Anceu coliving
Tips on how to create local impact and how to become a rural hub manager
Proposals to build rural-urban connections and international alliances
Developing a local challenge together with locals (Pegadas do Recordo)
What were the talks about?
The idea is to learn from others and discover how to apply the insights to your own life and rural hub. The selected topics were: rural impact stories, new life models (economic, social, and environmental perspectives), and how to build your network.
But… What is ‘Rural Hacking’?
Rural hacking refers to the use of technology, (particularly DIY and open-source), to solve problems and create solutions in rural areas.
Attendees included @@@benoit & @@@fabienneluisier from Alpines, @@@jonh from Sun and Co, Juan from Rooral, @@@mluthi from Life at Selgars, @@@katya3834 & Anton from Burgas Coliving, Katia from Chateau Coliving, Arthur & Hugo from Vine 21, Francesco from Tertulia Farm, Nikola from Sonta Coliving, Ben from The Living Room, Joana Carvalho from Dinamo 10, Ana Isabel from Wellbeing Economy Alliance, Bianca from France, Thomas from Making Rooms, Marina from Culture Hub Croatia, Lotte from Buinho, Miguel from Genalguacil Pueblo Museo, Carla from Quinta Quinhas, and Rita Cortes from ECHN.
The event brought together people from the entire coliving environment in Europe to network and help each other. The workshop aimed to share experiences and motivate and inspire others on their journey as rural hub managers 👩🏻💻🧑🏽💻
