Details:
Youth from rural areas grow up to live with limited social and economic opportunities, which negatively influences their social lives, education, mind-forming. Often they become adults unable to voice their opinions at any level – starting from family and up to civic and political participation. A number of serious problems confront these young people: higher unemployment, marginalization, lack of resources, they have no opportunity to visit other countries and meet their peers: they have a very poor understanding of cultures and common values, thus become hostile towards them and do not feel that they belong to any other reality than the one which they are accustomed to be. "Let's Shape Our Future Ourselves" TC aims at providing rural youth workers and youth leader with competences to build the capacities of young people as leaders and encourages civic activism in their communities. We believe that many young people, when supported and recognized in their role, these young people can become peer leaders and educators, involve other young people in development of rural policy, engage in constructive initiatives instead of being the multipliers of hatred and rejection which fuel prejudice. While reflect upon the role of young people as community leaders, exploring the ways of reveling and developing leadership potential of rural youth, encouraging active participation of young people, by means of providing them tools for participation, project creation and management, creativity and community changes and providing participants with space to exchange best practices we can further equip youth leaders from rural communities with knowledge and tools for getting involved in international youth work and encourage cooperation while implementing such projects within and beyond Youth Programme.
