Resumo: Marginalized youth in European rural areas face challenges in finding appropriate jobs and continuing their education in order to advance in life and contribute to society. They are facing unemployment and have no idea how to get out of it. Starting a business in rural areas would be an excellent choice for them. This project intends to create awareness about entrepreneurship in underprivileged areas, as well as to teach adolescents young adults how to discover business prospects in rural areas and generate new concepts.
Project "Ruralville" will be hosted in Cyprus to promote these ideas. The youth exchange will take 7 days. The project is being carried out by organizations from nations with high rates of youth unemployment (Cyprus, Lithuania, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Romania).
Objectivos: The project's main goals are to train and motivate young adults in rural areas who have less opportunity to start enterprises so that they can be self-sufficient and self-reliant. By doing so, they can create jobs for other marginalized youngsters in rural areas, resulting in a snowball effect that reduces unemployment and aids in their integration into society.
The project will seek the following objectives in order to achieve its goal:
1. Introduce participants to the fundamentals of rural entrepreneurship and how to share their knowledge with other underprivileged youth;
2. Coach the youths on how to start and run sustainable enterprises in rural areas, as well as the necessary skills;
3. Create innovative enterprise concepts that will operate successfully in rural areas of participating countries, as well as display cases of successful rural enterprises to motivate them;
4. Create enterprises that include unemployed/underprivileged communities living in rural areas, reducing rural unemployment and increasing community accountability;
5. Creating a ripple effect by persuading other communities to contribute to established enterprises or to start new ones in rural locations.
The project will also strengthen youth workers' cooperation. They would see how Erasmus+ projects are implemented and may replicate them abroad. Finally, they will also learn how to effectively use YouthPass in their work with youth, set objectives, assess personal knowledge, and make reflections.
Moreover, the project will improve the participating organisations’ expertise in hosting projects and for active
citizenship. Most importantly, the organisations would learn new NFE methods that could be used in their future
activities, as well as find more efficient ways to navigate challenging situations. All the organisations will apply
and use the guidelines developed by participants on a daily basis. As organisations are continuously implementing activities related to active citizenship and youth engagement in politics, they will gain new (theoretical and practical) insights on how to improve these activities and, accordingly, the quality of youth work and exchange. At the same time, they would create stronger bonds with other members of the consortium, which could lead to more projects being developed together.
