Thematic villages are places established according to jointly developed ideas (e.g. the Hobbit Village, the Healthy Life Village). Within the proposed model the inhabitants of a given town or village undertake actions within a single specialisation, using the existing development factors of a given village and discovering new ones. Thematic villages help activate whole rural areas, rather than single beneficiaries, and assist their entering the market.
moreThe model of establishing forums for cooperation and exchange of information provides new social integration tools for whole families affected by lack of work, including persons threatened with social exclusion. The tools motivate the beneficiaries to act, improve their self-confidence and lead them out of closed environments (unemployment enclaves). The model introduces an important change into the existing system: it supports the whole families rather than individuals and includes a comprehensive system of supporting the social integration of the beneficiaries using the local institutional potential (organisations, institutions, employers).
