Network Digital Villages RLP
About the network
The Rhineland-Palatinate Digital Villages Network is an initiative of the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Construction, Housing, and Culture. The network’s goal is to share the insights and experiences of the project’s three model municipalities—Betzdorf-Gebhardshain, Otterbach-Otterberg, and Göllheim—with interested municipalities in Rhineland-Palatinate, thereby supporting them in their digital projects. Over the past few years, these three municipalities have served—and continue to serve—as points of contact within the municipal community when it comes to issues of digitalization. To maintain this valuable knowledge-sharing function and further develop it under one umbrella, the Digital Villages RLP network was founded. This provides interested municipalities and local communities with a platform to learn from one another and establish an exchange of knowledge and experience.
The network lives from participation
Together with small and medium-sized municipalities in predominantly rural areas in Rhineland-Palatinate, we would like to exchange our experiences within the network and jointly find ideas and solutions in the municipal family on how to use digitization in a wide variety of areas. Within the framework of regular events as video conferences and - if possible - as face-to-face events, we would like to invite you to actively participate in the discussions and working meetings.Our guidelines:
- All together: The network thrives on participation and the benefits come when everyone participates.
- Living Communal Family: Exchange positive and negative experiences and make them available to others, share knowledge and information, provide contacts, tools and solutions.
- Be open: create spaces for experimentation in everyday administration, embrace new methods, establish a culture of error in administrations.
