Integrating with a local community

How did the newcomers of the Self-Help Promotion Program integrate into the local community of a decentralised region like Rapsani, and how did they manage to influence it in a positive way? As the PPA workers who collectively wrote this article point out, over time and through the trusting relationships that have been developed, their actions have become more adapted to people’s needs, more enriched, more collaborative, and more participatory.

Urban–rural divide

The over-concentration of population, power, resources and opportunities in large cities is a characteristic feature of Greece, which creates a clear and multilevel gap between urban and rural areas. The prolonged economic crisis and the demographic problem have put the sustainability and long-term prospects of the Greek countryside at risk. With this special dossier, the Heinrich Böll Foundation is launching a public debate on this overlooked issue, addressing it in all its complexity and presenting not only the problems but also best practices that can serve as an example for Greek cities and regions.
