The main goal we aim to achieve with the “EcoDescoperiri Rurale cu Tinerii (Y-RURALITY)” project is to transform young people's perception of rural life and empower them to become active agents of sustainable development and social innovation in rural areas. Our youth exchange activity seeks to reach this goal through a participatory, non-formal learning-based programme aligned with local realities. Within the framework of youth work practice, the project’s core objectives are structured as follows: 1. Fostering a Positive Attitude Towards Rural Life Encouraging young people to overcome prejudices about rural areas and discover the quality of life, opportunities, and community strength they offer. +Observing rural dynamics through direct experience, +Exploring best practices in rural development, +Raising awareness of potential in agriculture, eco-tourism, and social entrepreneurship. 2. Raising Environmental Awareness and Responsibility Supporting young people in adopting a sustainable lifestyle through hands-on activities. +Workshops on recycling, use of local resources, and eco-friendly production, +Strengthening both individual and collective environmental responsibility. 3.
