Keeping young talents in rural areas is one of the current key challenges identified at regional and local level in Europe. Involving and empowering young people in the rural community and helping them to find or create an active role in it is at the core of our project. Therefore, YESpecialists aim at promoting an entrepreneurial attitude to foster rural development.
One of the main objectives of the YESpecialists project is to set up local and regional communities that are attractive to young people, by supporting young people in developing and carrying out their own initiatives.
This attractiveness can be boosted by the development of innovative ideas that foster economic development in key areas such as sustainable agriculture, green tourism and creative industries. This guide provides five steps to take plus resources to support these steps.
