The initiative aimed to empower young people from rural areas by equipping them with the tools and competencies needed to design sustainable entrepreneurial ideas capable of generating local impact. The primary goal was to foster a culture of innovation, social responsibility and active citizenship, while highlighting how youth entrepreneurship can address depopulation, limited job opportunities and socio-economic challenges typical of inland regions. The programme also sought to enhance key transversal skills such as digital literacy, creativity, teamwork, intercultural communication and critical thinking. Through experiential learning, field visits, structured reflection and collaboration across countries, participants were encouraged to analyse rural contexts, identify local resources and transform them into viable business concepts. A further objective was to strengthen European cooperation by offering a shared space for dialogue among Italian, Spanish and Turkish youth, promoting long-term collaboration and mutual understanding.
