An initiatives started in 2015 to collect experiences of people moving from urban centres to rural Germany is experiencing lots of success during the COVID-19 situation, with more and more people requesting advice to move to rural areas.
The initiative Raumpioner Station Oberlausitz aims to "make the first step easier" for new settlers, providing first-hand accounts and direct contacts with people in Upper Lusatia, easter Germany. This happens through a blog, events and meetings.
The activities have been supported also via LEADER funding through the LAG Östliche Oberlausitz.
