Project Description 

The RURALITeast project aims to establish Living Labs in Eastern European Countries to support youth workers and potential entrepreneurs in rural areas.

The initiative includes tailored training, workshops, and mentorship sessions, engaging diverse stakeholders such as public entities, businesses, universities, and youth organizations. By involving local authorities and fostering youth participation, the project aims to drive positive change, uphold rural traditions, and promote sustainable practices.

Its vision is to revitalize rural communities by leveraging the potential of young people, addressing challenges such as ageing populations, economic restructuring, and promoting sustainability, innovation, and cultural heritage.
