Study visit review

For many years, these initiatives in Fougères ans its surrouding have been driven by committed individuals—men and women alike—who believed in their ideas and persevered to bring them to life. To take root and grow, these projects found a well-organized local ecosystem—a network of stakeholders capable of cooperation. This local organization did not happen by chance; it was built through the efforts of local elected officials and administrators who were convinced of their area's potential. They believed in the region, just as the community placed its trust in them. Gradually, they united key local forces—entrepreneurs, associations, institutions, and citizens—who organized themselves to support project leaders and local initiatives.
