PADIMA Good Practices

One of the core objectives of the project PADIMA was to identify Good Practices for fighting depopulation in mountain areas.

All project partners have undertook field work in their mountain regions; they have met and discussed with field actors and stakeholders. Together they have identified and described successful initiatives implemented in one area and which have already given positive results against depopulation.

Main facts about each good practice have been presented in a short table, easy to read. It contains the contact details of people that develop the initiative on the field and where more information can be obtained.

Thus, 99 Good Practices have been collected. They are concentrated around the 3 topics looked at within the project; 42 Good Practices address the education and training, 28 territorial marketing and 29 economic diversification. Read our guides to find out more:
