The series of transnational meetings for the DESIRE project has officially concluded. This European initiative was launched with the goal of breaking down digital barriers and providing innovative tools for trainers operating in rural areas.

A Three-Stage Journey
The partners' journey began in November 2024 in Angers, France, where partnership members (including Familles Rurales and Pixel) met in person for the first time. That meeting laid the groundwork for the Compendium of Good Practices, enriched by site visits to local organizations such as "France Service" and "Point de Médiation Numérique."

The second milestone took place in May 2025 in Florence, Italy. During this session at the Pixel offices, the group refined the Compendium and officially introduced the Toolkit for Adult Trainers, sharing expertise with sector specialists like Glocal Factory to enhance educational methodologies.

The Final Achievement
On December 11th and 12th, 2025, Familles Rurales hosted the final act of the project. During this third transnational meeting in Angers (FR), the partners proudly presented the final outputs:
The Compendium of Good Practices: A curated collection of successful models in digital education.
The Toolkit for Trainers: A practical resource designed to support the teaching of digital technologies to adults.

The event culminated in the final conference organized by Familles Rurales, a crucial moment for sharing project successes with stakeholders and discussing foundations for future European collaborations. With the review of dissemination activities and the final report planning underway, the DESIRE project draws to a close, leaving behind a tangible legacy for digital inclusion across Europe.
