| Project Objective: |
- To build capacity in the target groups by upgrading their skills and competencies.
- To enhance their innate qualities and transform them into "working tools".
- To enable the target groups to take part in the working processes either as valued employees, entrepreneurs or as project managers or management assistants for regional development projects.
- To elaborate a common agreement on what basic skills a person engaged in regional development processes in Europe should possess, by defining the new European profession of "regional manager".
- To develop curricula aimed, respectively, at regional development managers; regional development management assistants; management assistants for training and educational programmes in regional development.
- To develop educational guidelines for training regional development actors.
- To develop methods for improving the work of those are or planning to be engaged in regional development.
- To create broad understanding that regional development is a process, which cannot be successful without recognising divergences of view concerning regional and/or sectoral problems; public anxieties; and different solution potentials.
