Rural Lab

About the project

The Rural Lab is a LAG-owned implementation project where local actors in the Leader Grogrund area are mobilized to jointly explore, test, and develop new solutions and collaboration models for rural development.

Through a lab format, a flexible and creative environment is created where ideas can quickly be turned into action, focusing on preparedness, digitalization, climate adaptation, new energy solutions, sustainable housing, and modernization of civil society.

Get started!

A lecture with Patrick Sellman about the community's preparedness and why home preparedness is the foundation for everything else. 

Preparedness starts at home – and that is where we must begin.
The lecture is approximately two hours long and with a historical, cultural, and practical perspective, the goal is not to scare, but to provoke thought that leads to direct action.
