The Ralbar Programme consists of extracurricular projects carried out by 15 rural students from the province of León. The programme mainly offers economic support as well as academic and institutional tutelage to help students realise these projects that were designed by them, all aimed at revitalising rural areas socially, economically or culturally. The Ralbar Programme encourages awardees to take an active role in exploring sustainable development opportunities for rural environments, and fosters the creation of spaces and formats for debating and sharing these ideas, while viewing rural areas as a viable place to develop both their professional and life projects. In this way, the projects developed take into account the local context, draw on the training processes offered by the university, and benefit from the work of agents that form part of the university community.
