Abstract

This chapter presents the MERge model in the context of educational activities conducted under the responsibility of a local council of a rural village. This case illustrates the model by the synergy between three entities: (a) a mayor with a well-defined vision; (b) a council that believes that the local authority should provide its residents with the best services, where education is one of the top three priorities; and (c) one of the council members who is in charge of the education committee of the city council.
