Relevance
The project meets 3 needs of contemporary education, which have been identified by the COVID-19 crisis:
1. A need to digitally empower university teachers who rapidly have to transform from teaching professionals into learning experience designers and experts in emerging technologies;
2. A need to close the gap between self-perceived and actual digital competences of university students by equipping them with digital fluency/ intelligence/engagement skills, but also with pedagogical skills to sensitize them towards digital inclusion of underprivileged and underrepresented groups and to empower them to address sensitive contemporary societal issues while developing their digital competences;
3. A need to combine the digital empowerment of teachers and students with the pedagogical approach of service-learning understanding that this promotes diversity and inclusion, while establishing connections between higher education institutions and communities at risk, either in direct proximity or in rural/remote areas.

Program: Knowledge Alliances Project: Rural 3.0: Service Learning for the Rural Development EU funding: 999.138,80€ Rural 3.0 is set as a knowledge alliance between different European Higher Education Institutions and rural partners, each with a different history, quite distinct experiences with rural social entrepreneurship and/or rural service-learning, different educational systems, as well as specific community needs regarding the location, politics, and the economy of the different rural communities. UNIVERSITY PARTNERS RURAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS Rural 3.0 intends to bring higher education institutions and rural partners together to work on a common issue - development of the necessary knowledge and skills needed to make changes in rural communities. It supports the modernisation of Europe's HE through the transnational curriculum based on the innovative service-learning approach to teaching and learning that brings students, academics, and the community, together to jointly develop solutions for challenging issues, as well as product and process innovation. It aims to stimulate social entrepreneurship of HEIs* teaching staff and rural entities through transnational cooperation between HEIs and rural partners. In addition to this, new learning and teaching methods will be jointly developed and implemented.
