On 16 June 2026, the RurALL project brought together participants from across Europe for its final online Town Hall Meeting, creating a space for dialogue, reflection, and exchange on the future of rural communities.

Across Europe, rural communities are facing profound environmental, social and economic challenges. At the same time, many local initiatives are demonstrating that citizens can play a key role in strengthening community resilience, fostering participation, preserving local identity and responding to climate-related challenges.

Our project closing event will be a virtual town hall meeting, an online event with 150-200 participants from all 5 project countries, where rural residents can communicate their views, concerns, and recommendations to policy- and decision-makers on local environmental and climate-related matters that are important to them. The agenda will include discussions about rural and environmental-related policy issues and recommendations, with special emphasis on local rural development action plans, the EU’s Rural Action Plan, and the European Green Deal. Participants will also be able to ask questions of officials, while policymakers will have a direct opportunity to learn about citizen concerns, issues, and feedback.
