Rural Youth for Employment

Aims & objectives

The aim of the training was to provide the participants with tools for combating youth unemployment, especially in rural areas.

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

We had 8 partner countries (France, Finland, Hungary, Turkey, Estonia, Italy, Slovenia and Denmark) each one sending 3 participants. The participants were youth workers looking for methods of increasing employability among young people in their countries.

Training methods used & main activities

We used non formal learning methods in researching and understanding the employment situation n the participation countries, we used project development tools to start projects to combat the issues that lead into youth unemployment, and we used intercultural methods to understand the European context.

Outcomes of the activity

We had successful mapping of the current employment situation and the impact of education on it. The participants learnt about the different realities that the young people were facing across Europe and especially in Reunion Island.
