Rural-You is an invitation to look at the rural world from the youth perspective: it aims to involve motivated rural young people to play an active role and contribute to rural development and decision-making processes; it enhances youth participation in the social, economic and political life of rural and remote communities of Northern Albania in the medium-term. Adopting a bottom-up approach, support to rural youth is applied to 3 levels and through 3 clusters of activities: AC1) Awareness, AC2) Activism, AC3) Network. Thus, the project supports rural youth in better understanding existing sector policies, opportunities and perspectives (AC1), mobilizing local resources for \/sustainable growth of local economies (AC2), and promoting constructive dialogue among young people and with public authorities (AC3).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
