Next up in our series! ⏳ Moving forward with Semester 4, we are highlighting the incredible insights that emerged from the Regional Stakeholder Meetings across our European partnership.
📍 Episode 2: Advancing digital inclusion in Ballyhoura! 🇮🇪
Ballyhoura Development CLG hosted its 4th Regional Stakeholder Meeting, bringing together local government, social partners, and community organizations to map out a smarter, more connected future for rural areas.
The main discussions centered around learning from international exchanges and addressing local digital needs. Here are the highlights:
🖥️ Digital Inclusion & SICAP: a strong focus on integrating digital tools within the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme to empower local communities.
📊 The Digital Audit: analyzing the regional tourism and social enterprise sectors, which revealed a 10% gap in digital maturity compared to the EU average—giving stakeholders a clear roadmap on where to act.
🏡 Smart Villages Rationale: applying smart frameworks to directly target and reduce the urban-rural divide.
Continuous collaboration across sectors is what turns these European best practices into real, local impact! 🇪🇺✨
