Almost one third of the EU population live in rural areas. Statistics show that real disparities exist between urban and rural areas, with rural youth facing distinct challenges relating to poverty; education, training or employment opportunities, and access to basic services. According to Eurostat, a higher proportion of the population living in rural areas in the EU face the risk of poverty or social exclusion, compared to those living in cities. For young people (15-29 years) specifically, the percentage of those at risk of poverty or social exclusion is higher. The share of young people (aged 18 to 24) living in rural areas who were neither in employment nor in further education or training (NEET) is higher than in cities. GDP per capita in rural areas is approximately 72.9% of the EU-28 average. In these field, youth NGOs can make up for the lack of educational and leisure activities in the countryside and play an important role in the personal development of young people. Moreover, there is an additional tool available for youth NGOs in rural areas and rural young people in general: international youth projects. Local youth work is vital, but international projects can provide some additional benefits. A number of these benefits are identical for all young people but some are particularly valid for rural youth and rural youth NGOs. Access to new media tools in rural and developing areas still remains limited. Through this project, we wanted to address the problem of social exclusion of youngsters from rural areas by giving them a concrete opportunity for personal and professional development. The opportunity was offered by a specific tool which are digital storytelling and its benefits. It was used as an instrument for social inclusion and social development specifically to address the problem of marginalisation and lack of participation of people from rural areas and, in this field, we were oriented to the needs of young people with fewer opportunities: youngsters from rural and isolated areas; youngsters with low income and early school leavers. Thanks to a peer to peer approach youngsters from rural and isolated areas met to bring creative solutions to tackle current problems, therefore the solutions were found from youngsters for youngsters.
