ESIRA Project

The ESIRA project was formed with the aim of reducing the risks of poverty and social exclusion of marginalized groups in rural communities. Through innovative economic practices, creating robust social networks, and enhancing participatory policies, ESIRA strives to ensure inclusive development of rural communities, with an emphasis on economic sustainability and the protection of cultural heritage. The ESIRA consortium consists of 15 organizations from 8 European countries, including universities, expert associations, and non-governmental organizations, creating a network of academic knowledge and practical scope locally. The scope of ESIRA encompasses a wide belt of rural communities with specific cultural-historical and economic heritage. ESIRA's activities will be directed at mapping the socio-economic specificities of each rural community, focusing on forming an inclusive development strategy based on theoretical insights and the availability of practical resources and initiatives locally.
