future entrepreneurship initiatives. Art and entrepreneurship will be very well engaged and

participants will gain the skills on how to use art in a productive way towards employment.

The project will also give these youngsters the possibility to meet new people, collaborate

on international group work. Participants will also learn how to use intercultural learning in

the society. The activities which will be proposed, and lastly will conclude in a group street

performance will be composed interactively and demonstrate a creative way to tackle social

problems.

Projektist lähemalt:

The objectives of the course are multifaceted with the overarching aim being to encourage the development of participants as active and responsible citizens through the exploration of civil, political and social components of citizenship within the framework of the European Union. More specifically, it will allow for a conceptual and theoretical understanding of the notion of European Citizenship, develop the necessary skills and attitudes for active participation in civic life whilst simultaneously exploring the role of European Citizenship in youth work.

The methodology adopted will emanate from principles of non-formal learning. More specifically, activities on citizenship education as contained in the Council of Europe COMPASS training manual will be implemented with a view of promoting the necessary skills and attitudes that underlie active citizenship. Participatory activities such as team games, role plays and wall magazines will be employed throughout with theoretical presentations being combined with debates and interactive discussions. The group will also have the opportunity to participate in a workshop conducted by a lawyer on the rights and duties of European citizens. There will also be a 'Europe Day' where participants will learn all about the history, founding principles and values of the European Union and an 'Intercultural Learning Day' where participants will explore the semantics of this notion within the framework of European Citizenship. Towards the end of the exchange, participants will prepare and implement a presentation on any aspect of their choice pertaining to European Citizenship. This will be open to the youth workers, NGO workers, journalists and other interested individuals. The central purpose of the two-fold methodology combining the cultivation of attitudes and skills on the one hand and knowledge on the other constitutes an effective and long-term embracement of European citizenship. The project will include participants with fewer opportunities.  AEQUITAS will be the hosting organization.

Themes:

 Providing support to young people with fewer opportunities living in rural or

deprived urban areas

 Raising awareness about the nature of youth work

 Promoting the sharing of best practices in the sphere of youth work

 Urban/Rural development

Summary:

"The Rural Leaders of Europe" is a training that was generated by people from rural areas. The event represents a practical course where the participants, youth workers and young leaders will learn and share methods of bringing leadership to the rural areas.

The theme of the event is leadership in rural areas and its adaptation for young people from rural areas. One instrument that will be used to empower young people in the rural area in order to make a step forward will be the promotion of the Youth in Action programme in an easy-to-digest way, framework for personal and community development. The participants will create further partnerships for their ideas to be implemented under this programme, mainly under Eastern Partnership Window.

Facilitation as a tool for coordination of groups will represent one of the key methods to be used during the training and afterwards, in the rural area. As the methodology of the training course will be based on a participatory attitude, trainee centered approach, the activities will be based on the acquiring and practicing by the participants skills on facilitation.

The process is meant to improve the capacity of youth leaders in EU countries and EECA countries (part of the Eastern Partnership Window) to organise and empower rural communities as they promote rural development. The 6-day long training course that will be logistically implemented by the partner from Romania, will bring together 29 youth workers, youth leaders, trainers, facilitators and support staff. It will be held at the beginning of September 2013 in Bran, Romania. The partnership consists of an equal

numbers of countries from EU and EECA, namely Estonia, Italy, Lithuania, Romania and

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova. Our training course will provide the participants with the possibility to impact the EU’s sustainable developmental strategy across Eastern Partnership Windows' countries as a key point and a good practice for dialoguebuilding capacity.

The participants will rediscover their potential to improve their immediate surroundings, becoming multipliers in their own communities by active involvement and initiative, as well as determination through working within the framework of Youth in Action programme. After the event, a good practice and improved kit for empowering youth in rural area will be created with the help of the different sessions (group work,

simulations, interactive activities, analysis of cases on videos, role play) and will be actively implemented by the multipliers in their local communities. The 8 partners will

also ensure the visibility and applicability of the tools presented during the training by

helping multipliers in their activities.

Objectives:

Our project is based on a partnership within the Eastern Partnership Window, aiming to foster the cooperation and share of good practices among the countries of this facility. This initiative is meant to assist young people and the relevant civil society groups in EU and EECA countries in the field of rural leadership and citizenship that comes with it. The top priority for us is to shape a project that will tackle the needs of young leaders and social workers in their effort of empowering youth in rural areas.

More generally, the project will:

- train 24 youth leaders and social workers from EU and EECA countries in a 6-day training in leadership and facilitation;

- empower young people to become aware of what they want and enable them to create their action plan for the future;

- test new methods in intercultural facilitation;

- promote the Youth in Action programme as a tool for working with realization of ideas

in the rural area;

- share best practice in European youth work in EU and Eastern Partnership;

- bring awareness of the EU initiatives and programmes, and therefore to make young

people more attracted to Europe.

Partnerlusseminar Inglismaal

1-8. august toimub Inglismaal partnerlusseminar "Rural and Women Entrepreneurship" mille eesmärgiks on toetada kogemuste jagamist ettevõtluse toetamiseks maapiirkondades ja eelkõige naiste seas. Projektiga soovitakse luua uusi partnerlusi ja algatada uusi ettevõtmisi maapiirkondades. Kandideerima on oodatud noortejuhid ja noorsootöötajad vanuses 18+. Eesti osalejatele on 3 kohta. Valituks osutumisel on kohapeal tasuta majutus, toit ja seminar, kuid Inglismaa korraldajad (mitte Eesti pool) on seadnud osalustasu 50 € (NB! Vähenes 30 € peale), sest seal on väga kallis korraldada seminari. Teatud juhtudel on võimalik, et see tasu ka väheneb. Alguses tuleb samuti osalejatel osta lennukipiletid, millest korraldajad tagastavad 70 % kuludokumentide alusel. Kõige lihtsam on kohale saada lennates Riiast, kust on otselennud East Midlands lennujaama (ca 200 € edasi-tagasi). Umbes sama või veidi kallim hind tuleb ka kui  lennata Londonisse ja sealt bussiga.

The PBA “Rural and Women Entrepreneurship” aims to empower rural and women entrepreneurship by offering a space for skills development in the domain, share of good experiences and set up pilot projects and partnerships among different organizations coming from rural area. Participants will get familiar with European rural reality and will explore the similarities and differences of participating countryside and deprived areas. They will share the social problems of their community, and will find out how other countries are dealing with them in particular using the concept of social entrepreneurship.

The project is coming together to mobilize the potential productivity of rural people, especially of women, who can contribute to economic growth and globalization. Women's role, productivity and equality will be explored in the context of entrepreneurship and employment.

The PBA will inform participants about the possibilities offered by Youth in Action programme and other European institutions supporting youth initiatives, involvement and development of rural youngsters.

The project will run between 1-8 August 2013  in Loughborough, UK as a result of co-operation among 10 organizations from Programme Countries (the UK, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Romania, Estonia, Norway, Hungary and Poland).  

 About half of the planet’s population are poor, living on less than two dollars a day, and 75 per cent of the world’s poor live in rural areas. Because of not enough opportunities provided to sustain their lives, a large number of rural people are migrating to overcrowded cities with a better economic situation. The migration aspect is giving birth to many social problems such as unbalanced families, social orphan children and desperate youth.  Women and girls in the aforementioned situation are placed in the group of risk and because of their vulnerability the women trafficking and exploitation is a well-known term. Especially in rural areas women assume multi-faceted roles in society, as breadwinner of a family, unpaid family workers, service providers in the communities and mother/care-taker of the family. Be it in rural or urban areas, be it in micro or medium and large enterprises, women must be an integral part of development, not only as beneficiaries, but also as decision–makers and agents of change. Rural development and gender equality are key elements of strategies to reduce poverty and create income and employment opportunities.

The PBA has the following objectives:

- Share rural reality of the participating countries alongside the share of good experience in terms of women's involvement in economic growth.

- Develop human capacities that will encourage and support entrepreneurship initiatives of rural people and women

- Promote and develop the understanding of gender equality in the employment and market sector

- Introduce Youth in Action programme and Promote rural youth co-operation

- Develop pilot projects aiming to solve rural social needs through youth projects and entrepreneurial initiatives.

The seminar will be held in Loughborough in July 2013 and will involve 30 participants from 10 European countries.

Lähemalt: 

In these complex times for Europe, youth employability is a vital concern as many countries are facing high youth unemployment rates. With this project we would like to respond to the current pressures and challenges of youth unemployment through reinforcing possibilities in the civil sector that offer self- empowerment of the young people through upgrading their skills, changing their expectations and offering possibilities for a pro- active approach through practical volunteering experiences.

This training aims to be a tool that will change and re-shape the perceptions of the young multipliers that will take part in order to improve the access and participation rates of young people in volunteering projects and community programs. Through volunteering, young people get the benefits of increasing their skills, upgrading knowledge and improving their position on the job market. Voluntary activity has many advantages for the unemployed young people- it can help keep them in touch with the labor market and It can offer opportunities to obtain skills and experiences that make moving into work easier. if this link between volunteering and employment is to be strengthened, voluntary organisations need more funding, jobseekers need more information, and we all need to understand how volunteering can help employability.

An accent will be put on the networking in order to follow- up with joined projects of exchange of volunteers and specific project ideas on how to undertake further specific steps in targeting youth employability. This training will offer specific jobsearch related workshops, project management sessions, YiA possibilities, Presentations of EVS and other volunteering programs, and networking and work on follow-up projects that target youth employability for 31 pax. On this training we will explore volunteering, internships and employment; the group will visit workplaces, meet with employers and share their experiences with the other participants.

Kokkuvõte inglise keeles:

Eco Village Action is a multilateral youth exchange (Action 1.1) that will take place in the village of Dorna Arini, located in the historical region of Bucovina, a beautiful but rather isolated part of Northern Romania. For 11 days, 38 young people, between 18 and 25 years old, and 6 leaders with no age limit, coming from Romania, Italy, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic and Sweden, will meet in order to share experiences, learn and focus on concrete actions for promoting ecology and raising awareness about the harmful impact of man against the environment. They will acknowledge the importance of good ecological practices through concrete actions in rural areas by the use of non-formal education methods and inter-cultural dialogue.
We will establish links between the participants and the people from the local community, which will become more aware of how they can protect the environment and do less harm after their attention has been raised by the special actions performed in the youth exchange. Our main objectives are to realize a series of Eco Actions promoting good practices with a direct impact on people, to create interaction between the participants and the local community (especially the young people with fewer opportunities from the area) and to involve as much as possible local authorities and decision-makers during our activities.
Most important, we wish to promote the meaning of European Citizenship as being a way of life and not just an abstract idea, as it involves many good practices in the society. In our
project we will focus mostly on the care for the environment and on taking action in order to make a difference in the community where you live.
