Summary: A 3-day study visit for 21 youth leaders, youth workers and youth municipality officers to explore practices of youth participation in rural areas by visiting examples of good practice being implemented in rural and geographically isolated areas.

Group size: 21 participants
Details:
DYPALL Network and the Danish partner Ung Egedal, assessed gaps as regards current resources and capacity on developing the inclusive participation of youth from rural areas, at the local level. The main conclusions were that there are insufficient competences of youth workers concerning structures, instruments and methods on how to get young people to participate while taking into account the critical context in Europe. More particularly, there is a lack of advanced competences on how to make the participation inclusive and open for NEET youth, young people from different social, cultural and economic backgrounds. There is also a lack of understanding of local, regional, national and European Youth Policies, lack of advanced skills in developing action plans and youth policies among different stakeholders (youth organizations and municipalities and other decision making structures). At the same time the competences and abilities of youth workers are strongly connected with the effective involvement of young people from different backgrounds in decision-making at local level and these skills and knowledge of youth leaders, youth workers, and municipal officers need to be improved.
This study visit envisions to allow the participants to:
• Explore, experience and understand the specific challenges to youth participation in rural and geographically remote areas.
• Visit examples of good practices and based upon interaction with the project organisations, filtering out elements to transfer to one's reality.
• Think of innovative youth participation models in rural areas (new technologies, long-distance tools, etc.).
• Offer possibilities for partnership building among organisations active in the field of youth participation in rural areas, for future projects within the frame of E+ Programme.
• Experience Danish culture and Portuguese culture through the involvement of their local communities.
Look closely upon:
• How to set up programmes and project to increase youth participation in rural areas: strengths and challenges, resistance and factor, etc.
• Long term strategies and approaches to youth participation in rural areas, including connection of programme design with E+ framework for fundraising and impact measurement.
