Our membership spans across 22 EU Member States and 33 national member organisations, including an observer member from Latvia and two associate members from the UK and Serbia.

For this reason, it is important to influence the selfesteem of members of rural communities, as well as to boost economic activity and social commitment through training in innovation for present and future generations.” -  sspa-network.eu
