The document outlines Procasur's mission to enhance the livelihoods of rural communities by promoting the exchange of innovative practices and solutions. It describes a structured learning process called 'learning routes,' which focuses on critical reflection, practical knowledge, and the integration of local champions as trainers. The ultimate goal is to help participants adapt and implement useful innovations in their own contexts through networking and knowledge sharing.

4. *NOT a classic exchange visit!!
*Organized as a planned journey, the LR follows sequenced learning
blocks, fostering critical reflection and analysis of the experiences visited
*Valorises practical knowledge and put at the centre of the learning
process local actors (champions) that become trainers of their peers
during the Route
*Focuses on learning objectives (what we expect to learn from selected
cases) to respond to participants’ knowledge needs
*Enables participants to acquire direct and practical knowledge and
stimulate lessons learning, with the final aim of fostering the adaptation
and replication of knowledge and practices
*Intensifies networking through live and participatory knowledge sharing
mechanisms
GOAL: participants recognize
useful innovations, adapt and
apply these practices to their
own contexts
