do it.regional
The action programme do it.regional was a support programme of the Ministry for Nutrition and Rural Regions Baden-Württemberg (MLR). 23 innovative pilot projects were supported altogether to stabilise the rural regions. The development of a “Teleakademie” for farmers in the Black Forest and the Internet-based mentoring programme “Cybermentor” for girls were only some examples.
The goal of the programme was to support the digital integration of disadvantaged sections of the population, to stabilise media skills in the population and to enhance the adoption of innovative IT applications in rural areas. The projects of the action programme were supported with altogether 4 million euros as subsidies from non-profit future initiative “Young Generation III”.
