How can co-creation improve the definition and implementation of local and cross-border development policies? This workshop will begin by presenting the European Network of Living Labs co-creation expertise and experiences with local development as well as transnational living labs. This will be accompanied by the experience gained by the PITER GRAIES Lab – Integrated Territorial Plan “Active, Innovative and Solidly Rural Generations” on the Italy-France cross-border cooperation programme Interreg Alcotra. Goal: to make rural areas attractive (governance, services, mobility, work, economy) for new populations and generations. Strategy: co-creating solutions and skills with the territories, in an integrated, innovative and sustainable (living laboratories) way.
