AIMS OF THE PROJECT
BRAVO invites motivated youth workers and professionals in the field of youth to apply for an awesome opportunity to participate in the “From Rural to Plural” training course, which will be held from 17th to 26th of January 2025 in Bran, Brasov County, Romania. This Erasmus+ professional development activity is designed to empower participants to address challenges faced by rural youth through policy-making and media advocacy.
Across Europe, rural youth face limited access to education, job opportunities, infrastructure, and platforms for decision making. This results in depopulation and the decline of rural communities. The “From Rural to Plural” training course aims to tackle these challenges by equipping youth workers with the knowledge and skills needed to empower rural youth, advocate for their needs and contribute to the development of supportive policies.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

* Equip participants with tools for youth policy-making and media advocacy.
* Utilize traditional and digital media to raise awareness and promote rural youth initiatives.
