Objectives

One of the European Youth Goals is “Moving Rural Youth Forward” that aims to create conditions which enable young people to fulfil their potential in rural areas. Another one is "Space and Participation for All” that aims strengthen young people’s democratic participation and autonomy as well as provide dedicated youth spaces in all areas of society. Our project is in line with that both goals. The main aim of the project is to empower youth workers in active citizenship issues in rural areas by using non-formal and informal learning. Cancer is a real challenge around Europe. People needs to increase their awareness, cancer patients need more supports, especially in rural areas where the resources are even more limited. Cancer is a complex group of diseases with serious implications not just for individuals and their families, but also for society in general and health systems in particular. The availability of emotional, practical and informational support from family, friends, peers, healthcare professionals and other cancer patients becomes crucial. Support to young people with cancer is not enough when it is an only one-off. It should be continuous. So, we believe we need young cancer ambassadors to work on this issues. The main aim of the youth exchange is to increase awareness in cancer and create cancer ambassadors in different European countries so that they can work in their locals.
