The morning began with participants working in mixed international groups, where their task was to develop creative rural business ideas. This activity encouraged participants to combine different perspectives, think innovatively and collaborate across cultures. Each group presented its concept, ranging from sustainable farming initiatives to eco-tourism and community-based projects. The presentations highlighted the diversity of ideas and demonstrated how rural areas can be developed in innovative and sustainable ways. The session also strengthened teamwork, as participants quickly bonded through brainstorming and shared problem-solving.
In the afternoon, the focus shifted to national group work. Participants analyzed the challenges faced by rural areas in their own countries, preparing short presentations that addressed issues such as limited job opportunities, lack of infrastructure and population decline. After presenting, the groups compared their findings and worked together to identify common qualities, similarities and differences across countries. This process revealed that, while many challenges are shared across Europe, certain difficulties remain specific to local contexts. The activity helped participants better understand how interconnected their experiences are and how shared solutions could be developed.
Before closing the formal activities of the day, participants took part in a reflection session. They discussed what they had learned about rural entrepreneurship, the value of working in international teams and how the challenges identified related to their own communities. This reflection supported deeper understanding and encouraged participants to link the day’s activities with their personal and professional experiences.
Following the reflection session, the group leaders and organizing team met to review the day’s activities. They discussed group dynamics, assessed participants’ engagement and coordinated the next steps of the program to ensure continuity and balance in the learning process.
The evening was dedicated to a cultural night hosted by the Czech, Italian and Spanish teams. Participants enjoyed traditional food, music and interactive moments that offered insight into each culture. The Czech team shared elements of their customs, the Italian team introduced their cuisine and traditions and the Spanish team brought high energy through music and dance. The cultural evening strengthened intercultural understanding and created meaningful personal connections within the group.
