Development Association of Ludbreg (Razvojna udruga Ludbreg - RUL) is an experienced NGO, but newcomer in the scope of KA210 and KA220, currently searching for partners in that context.

RUL was established in October 2015, based in the small town of Ludbreg (pop. 8.500) in the rural part of north Croatia. RUL members are experienced in working in the fields of entrepreneurship, youth support, adult education and elderly care - all in the framework in developing the rural parts of Croatia.

After being primarily focused on the topics of youth problems, social inclusion providing opportunities for people with limited opportunities in rural areas, rural development, (un)employment, social entrepreneurship - RUL is lately employing between 10 and 20 geriatric housewives (that were without employment) that take care of the elderly persons in rural areas. RUL is also active in digital skills for youth and adults, organising coding and informatics workshops.

Through our engagement and activities we'd like to provide the opportunity of participation to all of the members of our NGO (25 members in 2024), as well as to other young people in our area, since we collaborate with two local high schools. Moreover, we have a tendency to include local people from Ludbreg county in our projects in order to improve the quality of their life and to strengthen the sense of belonging to a community, as well as to promote European values and Erasmus+ programme.
