The main objectives of our initiative in terms of inclusion are as follows:
Accessibility and affordability for all: The project aims to create an inclusive multifunctional space that is accessible to all residents, regardless of their age, abilities, or economic situation. The activities and services offered will be affordable to ensure that everyone can benefit from them.
Inclusive governance systems: The public consultation and active participation of the villagers in the decision-making process illustrate our commitment to inclusive governance systems. Residents have been involved from the beginning, ensuring that their needs and expectations are taken into account.
Design principles for all: The renovated building will be designed to be accessible to everyone, including people with reduced mobility. Specific arrangements will be made to ensure that everyone can use the facilities without obstacles.
New societal models: By diversifying the activities offered (arts, culture, crafts, etc.), we aim to create a local development model that strengthens social ties and promotes the inclusion of all community members.
These objectives have been achieved through a participatory and collaborative approach, involving residents at every stage of the project. The public consultation in 2015 and the citizens' commission meeting in 2024 allowed us to validate the residents' expectations and relaunch the project with a dedicated budget.
The initiative can be exemplary in this context as it demonstrates how a renovation project can revitalize a village by focusing on inclusion, sustainability, and citizen participation. By integrating NEB values and principles, we create a space that meets local needs while contributing to broader development goals.

A Local Rural Development Commission (LRDC) has been set up in 2015.
It is an advisory body representing the entire population and made up of inhabitants from different villages of the municipality. As the main interlocutor with municipal authorities, it actively participates in all phases of the development, execution, and evolution of the program. It has the following roles:
• Represent the population: each member represents one or more groups of citizens and has the primary mission of relaying their interests, opinions, and concerns.
• Act as a liaison between the population and the Municipal Council: the LRDC is the spokesperson for the population, but its mission also includes informing residents about the progress of the commission.
• Provide sound advice to decision-makers. The LRDC has at least 10 and at most 30 full members, as well as an equal number of alternates. Its members are representative of the population, bringing together residents of all ages, from all villages, and from different social and professional categories, who are willing to invest in promoting the well-being and quality of life in their municipality. A quarter of these members may be appointed from within the Municipal Council. The presidency is held by the Mayor or their delegate."
The impact:
The commission members will need to approve the specifications for the appointment of a project author (architect). They will then work closely with the architect to develop the layout and renovation of the building. Meetings will be planned with the municipality to monitor the progress of the project and subsequently launch the various public tenders for the implementation of the construction site.

The Rural Development Directorate of the Walloon region supports municipalities in the development of their communal rural development program (PCDR). It ensures the technical, financial, and regulatory follow-up of sustainable projects selected within this framework.
The program presented by the commission (CLDR) is subject to the approval of the Municipal Council and the Walloon Government. During the validity period defined by the Walloon Government, some projects included in this document may be subsidized by Wallonia at 60% or 80%.
The municipality of Libin has submitted 4 project sheets for projects to be carried out on its territory as part of this program. The project sheets present the various actions that have been defined with the citizens to achieve the development objectives. These sheets include a description, a justification, a work program with deadlines, a cost evaluation, and a breakdown of the financing distribution.
The municipality of Libin must also contribute financially since part of the work is not subsidized. In a difficult budgetary context, the projects proposed by the citizens have been delayed because the subsidies have not arrived.
Participation in this competition to support small municipalities could be a driving force for the project's revival in case of success. The total cost of the work was already estimated at more than 2 million euros in 2015 during the project's preparation.
We do not benefit from other sources of funding.

The disciplines and fields of knowledge reflected in the design and implementation of our initiative are varied and complementary:
Architecture and Urban Planning:The renovation of the former school of Redu into an inclusive multifunctional space requires expertise in architecture to design accessible and functional spaces. Urban planning also plays a key role in integrating the project into the village fabric and preserving the built heritage.
Rural and Community Development:The public consultation and participation of the villagers highlight the importance of community development. Experts in rural development helped identify local needs and mobilize resources to revitalize the village.
Arts and Culture:By diversifying activities towards art, crafts, and culture, the project integrates knowledge in cultural management and the organization of artistic activities.This contributes to enhancing the village's attractiveness and creating social bonds.
Environment and Sustainability:Promoting nature preservation and the energy renovation policy of municipal buildings require skills in environmental management and sustainable development.Energy and climate experts contributed to the development of the sustainable energy and climate action plan.
Local Economy and Tourism:The project aims to enhance local resources (agriculture, forest, tourism) to stimulate the local economy. Specialists in economic development and tourism worked on creating income-generating activities and improving the tourism offer.
Representatives from these different fields interacted collaboratively through working meetings, public consultations, and a citizens' commission.This participatory approach allowed for the cross-fertilization of expertise and ensured that every aspect of the project was considered holistically. The added value of this process lies in the synergy created between the different disciplines.By working together,experts were able to develop a coherent and integrated project

The guiding principle of the methodology is the involvement of the municipality's residents
Public Consultation and Citizen Participation:Launch of the Consultation: In 2015, a public consultation was held to gather residents' opinions and ideas on the potential renovation of the former school of Redu. Following this consultation, a working group and a local rural development commission were established to analyze the proposals and set project priorities. Regular meetings and participatory workshops were organized to involve the residents. The working group identified the specific needs of the village and the municipality, keeping in mind the goal of revitalizing the village. An evaluation of local resources (agriculture, forest, tourism, economy) was conducted to determine how they could be integrated into the project. The project objectives were defined, including the promotion of sustainable development, improvement of quality of life, preservation of natural and built heritage, and implementation of a sustainable energy and climate action plan.
Drafting the Project Sheet:Including a description, justification, work program, cost evaluation, and financing breakdown. Validation and Funding: In 2024, a citizens' commission meeting validated the residents' expectations and relaunched the project. A budget of €150,000 was included in the 2025 municipal budget to appoint a project author. Collaboration with Stakeholders:The project will be implemented in close collaboration with residents, municipal authorities, and the Walloon region. Regular monitoring will be conducted to assess the progress of the work and adjust actions if necessary. Meetings with the municipality will track the project's progress and launch the various public tenders for the implementation of the construction site

We have another communal building in Ochamps, a village to the north of the municipality, which also needs a thorough renovation. Uninhabitable and inaccessible since February 2021, this building located in the heart of the village could host numerous associations and activities. The local rural development commission identified the potential of this building as early as 2015 and has already collected the needs and wishes of the village and municipality residents, similar to the Redu project.
The same process can therefore be duplicated and easily transferred to this other village. The working methodology will be the same, and a new consultation with the population will be organized to update the project sheet from 2015 to see if the expectations identified at that time are the same, have evolved, or changed.
