Project Summary

The Training Course ‘Together for Rural Youth Entrepreneurship’ is dedicated to 30 youth workers and leaders working in rural areas/with rural youth. It will involve participants from 10 countries: Serbia, Austria, Finland, Estonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia, Romania, Albania, Czech Republic and Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. This TC aims at increasing the skills of youth workers working with young people in rural areas and the capacity of their organizations to tackle youth unemployment on a European level by promoting entrepreneurial spirit and education among young people in rural areas. In this way, the project aims to foster social inclusion of young people in rural areas across Europe and the cooperation among Programme and Non-programme countries in Erasmus + by establishing a network of organizations across Europe which work on tackling the same issue.Objectives of the projects are to critically examine the issues and consequences of youth unemployment in various regions in Europe through discussions, group work and role plays; to share ideas and tools among youth workers; to explore the challenges facing young entrepreneurs. A further objective is to equip participants with knowledge about corporate-social entrepreneurship and all the elements important when establishing a company such as business plan, marketing, digital communication etc. Youth workers and leaders involved in the project will learn new methods of non-formal learning, which they can use to multiply the project results. An important object is to develop a platform for future cooperation between Programme and non-programme countries in Erasmus +. By creating a connection between the participants that are from countries all over Europe, new partnerships and new projects will be developed. The participants will use these new skills and partnership to organise EU related projects that will target the young people in the local community. This will strengthen the bonds within Europe and the partner countries.
