The TRL Project (Transforming Rural Landscapes) was initiated and designed by Rural Radicals to explore how rural regions can be revitalized through creativity, sustainability, and community-driven action.
To make this possible, Rural Radicals brought together a coalition of Local Action Groups (LAGs) from across Europe, connected through the LEADER network. LEADER is a European initiative that supports rural communities in developing their own area by fostering local partnerships and bottom-up decision-making.
Project partners include:
Together, we are exploring how underused and empty buildings can be transformed into dynamic cultural and creative hubs, acting as catalysts for rural renewal. These spaces are more than just places to gather — they are bridges between urban and rural life, sparking new collaborations and sustainable ways of living.
The TRL Project is part of Rural Radicals’ broader mission: to re-activate buildings across Europe through creativity, creating vibrant places where culture, community, and nature come together.
