We are excited to share the official Danube Ruralscapes press release, now available across all partner countries!

With a sense of purpose and creative energy, the Danube Ruralscapes project officially kicked off on 28–30 May 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. Over three days of lively exchange, the event brought together an inspiring mix of partners, experts, and institutional voices - not only to launch a new Interreg initiative, but also to strengthen ties with its sister project, PlaceCRAFT, forming a shared platform for collaboration across borders.

In the heart of Budapest, beneath the ornate ceilings of a historic building and within walking distance of the Danube itself, a quiet transformation began to unfold. It didn’t start with big headlines or sweeping declarations. Instead, it began with a map - and a question: What do our rural communities need to thrive in the 21st century?

The Danube Region’s villages are rich in history, identity, and potential — but they face mounting challenges from depopulation, poor infrastructure, and the loss of traditional built environments. Today, we are proud to announce our role as a partner in Danube Ruralscapes, a landmark European cooperation initiative that aims to turn the tide.

Знаем каква дата е Трети март. Като че ли все повече се обръщаме към този ден, към събитията от преди 138 години, донесли така жадуваната Свобода на България. Знаем за Шипка, за героизма и подвига на руските и българските войни, за няколко дневните ожесточени боеве, за Вазовата поема „Опълченците на Шипка“.

The Bulgarian tradition has it that on the first of March we wear martenitsa for health and good luck!
