Rural Youth of Europe

ended

Rural Youth of Europe aims to enable young people, experts and Opinion leaders analyze the future of European rural youth in the European Year of Youth to design, facilitate, inform and reflect on rural youth after the Covid pandemic. For this we will have young people from different areas of influence who will be the protagonists of our project. At the same time, it is a non-formal education project with innovative training processes and group dynamics. The project will improve the skills of young people to act with experts and opinion leaders, as we give them the opportunity to share different points of view and experiences, learning from each other about life in rural areas of different countries. Through non-formal education methods, participants will increase their social and cultural skills and encourage citizen participation, especially of young people who do not have access to European projects and programs. They will participate in activities that will enrich their soft skills and prepare them to take the step towards a better world. This exchange of knowledge and opinions will have a significant socioeconomic impact, since young people will apply what they have learned once they return to their countries of origin, being able to contribute their grain of sand to fight to stop depopulation in rural areas; modernizing them and increasing their level of young entrepreneurs and the use of new technologies and methods of non-formal education.
