Objectives

Marginalized youth living in European rural areas have a problem getting good jobs & continued education to get ahead in life and contribute to society. They’re facing unemployment & they don't know how to get out of their situation. Starting a business in rural areas would be a great solution for them. This project aims to raise awareness about entrepreneurship in rural areas, provide youth with the skills on how to identify the business opportunities that exist in rural areas & develop new ideas. The main objectives of the project were to train & inspire youth with less opportunities to start businesses in rural areas, so that they can be self-sufficient and self-reliant. By doing so they can create jobs for other marginalized youths in rural areas, thus creating a snowball effect of lowering unemployment and helping integrate them in-to society. In order to reach its aim, the project seek the following goals: (1) introduce participants to the essentials of entrepreneurship in rural areas & how to share the knowledge with the other marginalized youth; (2) coach the youth on how to create sustainable businesses in rural areas, and the key skills needed for that; (3) generate new business ideas that would work well in rural areas of participating countries & show examples of successful businesses in rural areas to inspire them; (4) create businesses that include the unemployed/underprivileged communities living in rural areas, thus decreasing rural unemployment & building accountability for the community; (5) creating a spill-over effect by inspiring other communities to contribute to the established businesses or to create new businesses in rural areas themselves.
