Inovland 3.0 – Building the future

What can you expect in the Training Course? The training Course will explore the topics of youth (un)employment at the rural areas, youth entrepreneurship in landscape, agriculture and organic agriculture and youth village opportunities, Erasmus opportunities in rural areas, and other youth issues.

The social issue at hand revolves around the dearth of opportunities for young individuals residing in rural areas, which severely hampers their personal, social, economic, and cultural development. This identified problem cascades into a series of repercussions and hurdles that demand urgent resolution. Primarily, it leads to the depopulation of interior regions as the youthful population, devoid of prospects, seeks greener pastures elsewhere. Consequently, this exodus weakens the economic vitality of these territories, eroding the business landscape, diminishing job prospects, and impeding the active participation of young people in societal affairs.

This project sets out to tackle the aforementioned challenges head-on by facilitating direct engagement between young individuals and rural communities grappling with these issues. By offering hands-on experience coupled with critical reflection on topics directly or indirectly linked to rural youth, this project empowers young people to become catalysts for personal, social, and local change. Through active participation, they become agents of positive transformation within their communities, laying the groundwork for a more vibrant and inclusive rural landscape.
