The RURALED project was presented during the seminar “Innovative Approaches to Educational and Public Activities of Vocational Education Institutions,” held by the Scientific and Methodological Center for Higher and Pre-Higher Education (SC HPHE) on November 11, 2025, for deputy college directors, teachers, and administration representatives.
The event was held as part of the annual training program for teachers and administrators of educational institutions, particularly those located in rural areas, with the aim of providing new knowledge and information and broadening their vision of the development not only of the educational institution, but also of the area where it is located.
The event was attended by 347 participants representing almost all regions of Ukraine. Such a large number of participants was made possible thanks to the high level of interest in the event and the possibilities offered by the internet – the seminar was held online.
The RURALED project aroused great interest among the audience – some asked for additional information, while others expressed their desire to participate in our training sessions scheduled for December 2025.
In short, smart villages and the possibilities for implementing their elements in Ukraine is a topic that is of interest to rural residents and needs to be developed.
