The Erasmus+ Project "Strengthening Social Capital in Rural Communities for Rural Development" aims to elaborate and communicate the topic of social capital for extension workers for rural development processes in Turkey https://www.utemooc.org/.
The training materials and short videos about the eight study regions in Austria, Portugal, Spain and Turkey, are accessible for extension workers - following the principle of train the trainer - as well as for the residents in rural regions of Turkey. Building and promoting social capital by involving the local population leads to stronger trust and a higher willingness to cooperate in social networks and in the rural economy, but also with existing local institutions and organizations. The exchange of experiences on the importance of social capital in rural development between the project partners was very interesting and fruitful for all.
