Razvojna udruga Ludbreg (RUL)

Razvojna udruga Ludbreg (Development Association of Ludbreg) was established in October 2015, based in the small town of Ludbreg (pop. 8.500) in the rural part of north Croatia. At the time of it's establishment, most of the RUL's members already had experience working within NGO framework in the fields of Democratic political culture, International cooperations, Sustainable development and International youth exchanges.

Up to date, we’re primarily working and acting on the topics of youth problems, social justice, social inclusion of young people and youth with less opportunites, providing opportunities for people with limited opportunities in rural areas, rural development, (un)employment, social entrepreneurship, as well as the ones on the topic of Erasmus+ framework and opportunities that it provides through KA1 and KA2.

Our target groups include youth with limited opportunities, youth in general, gifted children, unemployed, rural population, NGO's and volunteers.

Through our engagement and activities we'd like to provide the opportunity of participation to all of the members of our NGO (25 members in 2020), as well as to other young people in our area, since we collaborate with two local high schools. Moreover, we have a tendency to include local people from Ludbreg county in our projects in order to improve the quality of their life and to strengthen the sense of belonging to a community, as well as to promote European values and Erasmus+ programme.

We’re working dedicatedly to get empowered as youth leaders in our community and through the concept of multiplier disseminate the skills and knowledge to as many individuals as possible and this way we’re eager to benefit the whole community.
