What is Rebound?

This inter-territorial project, which is supported by the EU through ERASMUS+, pursues an action-research approach to promoting rural community resilience.  Partners from Ireland, Portugal, Slovenia and the EU-wide AEIDL Association are pooling their expertise and engaging a diverse range of stakeholders in examining this topic. They are compiling an evidence-base that will guide the development of a Level 6 training and capacity-building programme.

ERASMUS+ Priority Theme: 
Adapting vocational education and training to labour market needs
 
Additional Priorities:
Addressing digital transformation through development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity and common values, civic engagement and participation
