Objectives

Rural innovation is a project to develop social innovation and support youth initiatives in european rural areas. Eurasia net want to achieve this project because we identified together with partner organisations and local partners various needs and issues: the youth mobility in rural areas, rural unemployment and the need for rural areas to develop sustainable activities to create opportuinities for youth : - The need for youth to get opportunities to develop innovations within Social and Solidarity Economy for a sustainable local development (aware of economic, social, cultural and environmental realities) - The need of European organisations wish to improve their tools and methods to implement quality projects with youth and support them to implement their projects. Through this project, Eurasia net aims to guide and inspire youth workers using methods of "DIT" (Do It Together) to create social innovations and cooperation projects, to support youth in implementing social innovations taking natural resources and local cultural heritage as an asset for sustainable and innovative initiatives in rural areas and strengthen youth workers capacities to promote social sustainable innovation and cultural diversity including participatory methods and non-formal education practices toward youth. The project aims to answer to the problematic: how the cultural diversity and local ressources mixed with youth initiatives can lead to social innovations by implementing activities that support our objective of sharing best practises and capacity building for youth workers to: - Provide youth workers the appropriate tools to support youth initiatives and social innovation taking into consideration the geographical, historical and cultural realities of a territory. - Strengthen youth workers capacity to promote social and cultural diversity on their territory including participatory methods and non-formal education practises - Tools to support youth in implementing social innovations taking heritage and local resources as an asset - Provide tools to youth worker for intercultural exchanges - Guide and provide youth workers participative and intercultural methods of "DIT" (Do It Together ) to create social innovations + support in using " projet de solidarité" within European solidarity corps At a local level, the project also aims to promote European cooperation, Erasmus+ programs, european solidarity corps opportunities - opportunities it can provide for youth and youth organisations in rural areas.
