The activity is designed for youth workers, youth leaders, project coordinators, and representatives of youth organizations active in rural areas across Europe. Participants should have direct experience 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 organizations 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, 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 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.
