1. Description "EcoVia Europe: Youth and Diversity in Action" follows the Project-Based Learning approach, where young people will take the initiative in rehabilitating a section of the Via Augusta, one of the most significant routes of Roman heritage that connects various regions across Europe. Located in the municipality of Espera, in the Sierra de Cádiz region, this route represents a shared European heritage, linking different cultures and territories of the continent. The essence of this project is to highlight the natural and cultural landscapes of the region, promoting a sustainable, accessible, and inclusive vision that enables young people to directly interact with a shared heritage and actively participate in its preservation. In this way, the Via Augusta becomes a symbol of European unity and diversity, serving as a space where Europe's common history and traditions merge with youth-led actions focused on sustainability and social inclusion. 2. Needs This project addresses the urgent need for the social inclusion of young people with disabilities in rural municipalities while also emphasizing the European value of the Via Augusta as a shared cultural asset. The main challenges include: Stigmatization of disability: In the province, negative perceptions of disability persist, such as pity or perceived incapacity, which foster overprotection and exclusion. Lack of inclusive youth development spaces: Despite the existence of specialized centers, these tend to be welfare-oriented and do not provide spaces for real social skill development. Geographic and social isolation: The lack of infrastructure and isolation in the Sierra de Cádiz limits opportunities for rural youth development, restricting their access to educational and recreational experiences. Disconnection of young people from nature and local and European culture: The disengagement of rural youth from their cultural traditions and natural environment leads to a loss of identity and a phenomenon of youth detachment. Loss of natural heritage: The depopulation of native trees and the lack of accessible green spaces for young people further contribute to their disconnection from the environment and local biodiversity. 3. Objectives OG1. Promote democratic and active youth participation by highlighting the European value of the Via Augusta. Combat the stigmatization of disability by encouraging the active participation of young people with and without disabilities in the rehabilitation of the Via Augusta, reducing prejudices through collaborative activities.
