Under the flag of the SHERPA project, the P10, the association for rural municipalities in the Netherlands hosted the participatory lab as part of the main programme of the European Week of Regions and Cities in Brussels.
A diversity of experiences in the SHERPA project kick-started the discussion. Pawel Chmieliński, President to the European Rural Development Network in Poland highlighted how leveraging the potential of rural areas is about connecting policy to the reality of people and making rural voices heard in order to effectively link local problems to solutions in EU policies. Rural interfaces have a strong potential to contribute to cohesion and community building and to make sure that nobody is left behind. At the same time, they foster a sense of empowerment, raise awareness of the EU and enhance the European identity of local communities.
Jorieke Potters, action researcher at Wageningen Research stressed the potential of Rural Science Society Policy Interfaces for engaging rural actors in shaping the future of Europe. The SHERPA experience shows how engaging rural areas in policy involves a delicate process of continuous translation and trust building between different actor groups and levels of governance.
CONNECTING EU FRAMEWORKS WITH RURAL REALITIES
Rural interfaces as spaces for policy dialogue, connectivity, democratic capacity building and rural development can be supported by increasing transparency in the policy agenda and sending out a clear invitation. Furthermore, it is required to operationalise a strong commitment and allocate resources to the facilitation of rural interfaces and dialogue. Joost van Oostrum, mayor of the Municipality of Berkelland, in Eastern Netherlands shared his rich experiences of how capable rural areas are to drive their own development.

On October 9-11, seven of the ERDN multi- actor platforms (MAPs) from the #SHERPA project (Poland, Romania, Lithuania) and 3 MAPs cooperating with ERDN (Estonia, Spain) participated in the Caspar #PREMIUM_EU project meeting in Krakow to seek synergies and share the lessons learned from the dialogue with multiple actors at the territorial level in formulating of public policy recommendations.
Paweł Chmieliński spoke about the cooperation in the ERDN that supports the continuation of the multi-actor dialogue at regional level and, together with Katarzyna Gizińska and Agnieszka Kurdyś-Kujawska, they presented the activities of the SHERPA MAPs in Poland emphasizing the importance of the representativeness of the actors involved. Monica Tudor shared impressions from Romanian MAPs in strengthening participatory governance at the local level and importance of horizontal and vertical political dialogue for reaching the proper targets. Živilė Gedminaitė-Raudonė and Rita Lankauskienė spoke about the dialogue in MAP Lithuania emphasizing the empowerment of local actors in the political decision-making process.
