The “Europe in the countryside” project is a cooperation between NGOs from Romania, Hungary, Italy and Netherlands which have the following objectives:

• Expanding the knowledge of young people in rural areas in the countries involved about the European Union and active citizenship

• Encouraging the involvement and active participation of young people from rural areas in local communities

• Supporting new and less experienced organizations to gain experience in managing Erasmus + projects

• Developing the knowledge and capacity of the organizations involved regarding the mobilization of young people in rural areas; Within the project we will organize:

• 3 transnational meetings that will be organized every 4-5 months to follow the process of the project and its activities.

• a 7-day seminar for youth workers, teachers, youth NGO representatives and youth experts to empower young people in local involvement, mobilization and education on EU-related topics

• a series of 6 workshops in each partner country, in which 35 young people from local communities will be involved

• an online meeting to evaluate and conclude the project, with the involvement of partner organizations

Following these activities we expect the following results:

• A handbook to be developed following the seminar, which will be a guide to help youth NGOs and youth workers (internationally) in mobilizing and involving young people from local communities (mainly rural communities).

• A video as a result of the workshops, in which the young people involved share their experience

• 4 local campaigns, as a result of workshops on civic participation of young people in rural communities

At the end of the project we will have:

• 4 organizations with experience in international project management;16 youth workers trained and skilled in the local involvement of young people;

• stronger cooperation between international and local youth organizations;

All the activities and actions organized in this project are closely linked to our chosen priorities and are all built in a way that focuses on the involvement of young people, the participation of young people in their communities and their information on European Union issues.
