About the project
Juventud Rural Activa: Participación y Futuro en Jaén is an Erasmus+ European youth project addressing Development of disadvantaged rural and urban areas, Tackling geographical remoteness and involving rural areas and Democracy and inclusive democratic participation. It was developed to with this project we aim to empower rural youth in the province of Jaén to become active protagonists in the social, cultural and environmental processes of their municipalities. The project uses non-formal education and international cooperation to turn these themes into practical learning, organisational development and community-level action.
Objectives
* With this project we aim to empower rural youth in the province of Jaén to become active protagonists in the social, cultural and environmental processes of their municipalities.
* Our main objective is to strengthen youth participation in rural contexts where depopulation, unemployment and the lack of dialogue spaces limit young people’s opportunities.
Activities
* International non-formal learning activities involving participants and partner organisations.
* Practical workshops, collaborative work and reflection connected to the project themes.
* Follow-up and dissemination activities within the participating communities.
Impact
The project will result in 100 rural youth trained in leadership, participation and digital competences, and the creation of 5 pilot youth councils in Jaén municipalities (Alcalá la Real, Úbeda, Martos, Alcaudete and Linares). It will produce digital content (videos, podcasts, posts) with an estimated reach of 10,000 views, amplifying youth voices. The methodological handbook “Participating from the Rural” will be published and shared through the SALTO Toolbox and Erasmus+ Project Results Platform to ensure long-term use. A provincial youth festival will bring together 40 young people and decision-makers, reinforcing visibility and local policy influence.
