Our project idea was started to focus Eurostat report in a higher unemployment rate for young people living in rural areas, emphasizing the importance of enhancing their skills and entrepreneurship opportunities. The future of rural regions depend on their youth, and stimulating entrepreneurship could fuel economic growth and job creation. What we aimed in RuralUp project to enhance the key competencies of rural youth through non-formal education, with a focus on creativity, inclusion, and entrepreneurship. We exchanged ideas, tools, resources among partner organizations and we implemented several virtual meetings and a mobility event in Luxembourg aimed to equip 26 youth workers with tools to promote Erasmus+ projects, establish high-quality non-formal projects, and foster networking among partner organizations. This initiative was critical in fostering sustainable development, driving economic growth, and ensuring the future of rural regions within the EU.
