Objectives

Overall, the “YOUTH 4 RURAL CHANGE” project aimed at promoting multiculturalism and intercultural dialogue among youths living in rural areas of Italy, particularly in the province of Ragusa (South-east Sicily) and Romania, particularly in the Argeș County. This promotion was meant to be done by actively involving youths in recognising, preserving and promoting the (co)-existence of multiple cultural identities. The project targeted these two specific areas in order to reaching out isolated and/or marginalised young people living in rural areas, allowing them toh ave more oportunities to develop themeselves, to meet and knowledge new cultures, thus promoting diversity, intercultural and inter-religious dialogue, common values of freedom, tolerance and respect of human rights. Moreover, it was conceived to equip youth workers with competences and methods for their professional development, especially in rural contexts. Finally, it aimed at supporting the inclusion of young people from rural areas as well as to benefit local communities and establishing a positive imagine of rural areas, by ensuring the decentralisation of different activities.
