Objectives

Our goal is to bring modern farming trends closer to young people, who are turning to a sustainable, eco-friendly way of thinking and acting, while using the latest technological and digital acquisitions in agriculture, business, promotion and marketing. We want to acquaint the young people with the latest trends in the fields of agriculture, rural tourism, business planning and nature conservation, equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills, ideas and motivation to develop an individual business path in the domestic rural environment. In the Agrikultura 2 Youth Exchange project, participants will have the opportunity to learn about inspiring stories and successful business practices, to hear experts from various related fields, to gain important knowledge that will make it easier for them to plan their own and unique business paths in agriculture, tourism, service marketing or nature conservation in the home environment. Our goals are: - We hold a preliminary preparatory meeting and then a youth exchange with 4 partners (Slovenia, Greece, Italy, Czech Republic), to which each participating country brings 4 in the topic interested youth and one youth leader. - Young people learn about the profession and mission of modern farmers, herbalists, winemakers, tourism workers, conservationists, etc. socializing with them, viewing good practices, interactive lectures, occasionally engaging in on-farm practical work, having fun workshops and intercultural activities. - Participants learn about good practices and gain knowledge from experts. They realize that sustainable farming, tourism and nature conservation are an opportunity for young people to become self-employed, even if they do not own agricultural land. - Learn how to come up with a good business plan for starting an agricultural or other business, promoting and selling services or products. - Share different opinions, experiences and ideas among young people from different cultural backgrounds. They deepen their understanding of various international agricultural and business practices and their impact on the local and wider environment, local tourism, the economy, development and on the lives of young people. - Young people from urban or rural backgrounds, whether or not they come from peasant families but who face unemployment, emigration or migration, find that there is also a viable opportunity in modern agriculture, related tourism and nature conservation. - Young people get to know young people from other geographical, linguistic and business-cultural backgrounds, develop genuine contacts and a social network (national and international) for the benefit of developing their own entrepreneurial ideas. - We get at least three project announcements and results promotions on the Facebook pages or websites of all participating organizations so that each organization provides at least 1 project article in local media and each organization organizes at least 1 local dissemination event after the exchange has been completed.
