Popis projektu:
„From Rural to Plural: Connect-Inspire-Transform” is a Partnership Building Activity organized under the European Youth Village umbrella, which aims to strengthen the capacity of youth workers and youth organisations active in rural areas across Europe to collaborate, develop, and implement high-quality [Erasmus+] projects that support the participation, inclusion, and empowerment of rural youth.
The activity is designed for youth workers, youth leaders, project coordinators, and representatives of youth organisations active in rural areas across Europe. Participants should have direct experience in working with young people from rural communities and a strong interest in developing new international projects that foster youth participation, inclusion, sustainability, and digital transformation in rural settings. The target group includes both experienced and emerging organisations seeking to strengthen their capacity, exchange good practices, explore the European Youth Village model, and build long-term strategic partnerships under the Erasmus+ programme in the field of youth.
During the mobility, participants will explore challenges and good practices in rural youth work across Europe, exchange youth work methodologies, and deepen their understanding of key Erasmus+ priorities such as youth participation, inclusion and diversity, digital youth work, and green practices.
They will discover and connect to the European Youth Village model as a structured ecosystem for empowering rural youth, reflect on the role of rural youth in European policy frameworks, and work together to identify common priorities and build concrete action plans for future collaborations. The mobility will also strengthen participants’ capacity to apply quality standards in rural youth work, promote international partnerships, and support the development of sustainable, high-impact Erasmus+ projects for rural communities.
Context (or the „Why):
Across Europe, rural youth face specific and persistent challenges: geographic isolation, limited access to quality education and employment, fewer opportunities for civic engagement, and often a lack of youth-friendly infrastructure and services. Despite these obstacles, rural communities are rich with potential and innovation, and young people living there are key actors for their sustainable development. Yet many rural youth workers and organisations struggle to access European partnerships and resources that could amplify their local efforts. There is a growing need to connect, strengthen, and empower those working for and with rural youth at the European level.
The Erasmus+ Programme, through its focus on inclusion, participation, digital transformation, and sustainability, offers powerful opportunities to tackle these challenges. However, developing strong, high-quality partnerships that are rooted in the real needs of rural youth requires time, trust building, and the exchange of good practices. The European Youth Village (EYV) model has demonstrated that by creating ecosystems of collaboration at local and national levels, rural youth can drive meaningful change. Expanding this approach across borders by connecting like-minded organisations can increase the impact and visibility of rural youth work Europe-wide.
This Partnership Building Activity is therefore designed to bring together youth organisations committed to rural development, to share their experiences, explore innovative methodologies, strengthen their capacities, and co-create future projects. By linking their work to the European Youth Village approach and to the Erasmus+ priorities, the participants will not only improve their local activities but also contribute to building a stronger, more inclusive European network for rural youth empowerment. Through dialogue, mutual learning, and collective action, we aim to lay the foundations for long-term partnerships and new initiatives that will give rural youth a louder voice and more opportunities to thrive.
Objectives (or the „What“):
- Facilitate the creation of new partnerships among youth organisations committed to supporting rural youth, by providing space for networking, sharing of experiences, and trust-building.
- Enhance the understanding of rural youth challenges and solutions across Europe by exchanging realities, analysing obstacles, and mapping successful interventions already applied in different rural contexts.
- Strengthen youth work practices by sharing, experiencing, and developing non-formal education methodologies, tools, and approaches tailored to rural youth, especially those tested and refined within the European Youth Village program.
- Promote quality standards and policy frameworks for rural youth work by exploring best practices, existing national and European policy frameworks, and the integration of Erasmus+ Quality Standards into project design and implementation.
- Deepen the understanding of key Erasmus+ priorities — Inclusion and Diversity, Digital Transformation, Participation in Democratic Life, Environmental Sustainability —and explore their specific application in rural youth work and the European Youth Village model.
- Support participants in designing future collaborative projects through identification of common priorities and joint action planning, addressing rural youth needs.
- Strengthen the dissemination, visibility, and sustainability capacity of rural youth projects by developing concrete follow-up strategies, communication actions, and tools for wider impact.
- Promote the European Youth Village model as a transferable and scalable approach for empowering rural youth and fostering inclusive, participatory rural communities across Europe.
The participants‘ profile (or the „for whom“):
The Partnership Building Activity is designed for youth workers, project coordinators, youth leaders, and other professionals in the field of youth from non-governmental organisations active in rural areas.
Participants must be youth workers or other professionals (including community organizers, project managers, facilitators, volunteer coordinators, or young volunteers taking active roles in their organisations), aged 18 or above, who are motivated to strengthen their capacity to work with rural youth, develop international collaborations, and co-create new projects within the Erasmus+ framework.
They should be committed to exploring rural youth realities, sharing best practices, and engaging actively in peer learning experiences linked to youth participation, inclusion and diversity, digital transformation, green practices, and rural youth empowerment. Participants are expected to attend the entire duration of the Partnership Building Activity and to contribute to follow-up actions, including the development of new project ideas and partnerships. A good command of English is required, as all activities will be conducted in English.
