We are pleased to share the key outcomes of the Empowering Rural Communities: Youth-led Spaces for Transformation project. These results reflect the collaborative efforts of all partners and the active involvement of young people throughout the project.
🇷🇴 Mobility in Romania
As part of the project, an international mobility activity took place in Romania, bringing together participants from partner organisations.
During this mobility, young people engaged in workshops, collaborative learning, and practical activities focused on community engagement and youth empowerment. The experience strengthened intercultural dialogue and provided participants with tools to initiate change in their local communities.
📘 Community Involvement Guide
The Community Involvement Guide has been developed to support youth workers and young people in fostering active participation within rural communities.
It includes practical methods, tools, and examples that can be easily adapted to different local contexts.
🧪 Pilot Testing of the Handbook
The handbook was tested through pilot activities organised by project partners.
These sessions allowed participants to apply the proposed methods in real-life contexts and provide valuable feedback, which contributed to improving the final version of the material.
