The 4 main objectives of the project were: - To raise awareness and make participants identify themselves with the idea of sustainable development. The goal was to provide knowledge about the facts of cvlimate change, reflect upon the own responsibility, values and attitudes aligned with sustainable development and thereby strengthen the ecological sensitivity of the participants, encouraging sustainable decisions in our everyday's lives. - Get all participants connected to the chances and challenges of rural areas. To do so, the participants learned about the functioning of value chains and sustainable startup or business ideas. - Improve soft skills of all participants. Precisely, to train the ability of working together in a heterogeneous group both target-oriented and creatively. Furthermore to train situations of free speaking in front of an audience of around 40 people, being able to formulate ideas and thoughts in a foreign language, English. - Personal development in the context of intercultural exchange. Develop and strengthen the European idea under the slogans: United we are strong! Let's work on ourcommon European house! During the CultRURAL Labs, all participants become a big family, after a few days they feel, as if they would already know each other for a lifetime. Of course, an important part is to learn more about other countries and cultures and by this to overcome stereotypes.
