Introducing the Smart Village Guide in English
Published in French a few months ago, the guide "Smart Village, for a French Model to serve rural regions" is now available in English!
This guide aims to explain the Smart Village approach and help local authorities adopt it for the benefit of rural areas. It provides educational and practical content, including questions, checklists, helpful advice, and real-life stories from different stakeholders.
Several of the experiences reported in this guide use digital mediation. This is the case of La Fruitière Numérique in Lourmarin (Vaucluse) which offers a digital space proposing residents individual or group support in using digital tools. You can learn more on this experience (p. 96) and read the interviews (p. 130) in the Smart Village guide on the website.
Whether you are a rural elected representative, a local authority technician, or involved in rural development associations, this guide is tailored to meet the needs of a diverse audience.
