The REDR and the European LEADER Youth Community of ELARD are organizing the webinar “Rural Youth in decision-making”, financed by the Spanish Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and 2030 Agenda.
You can register here (you don’t have to be a youth to participate).
Friday, June 13 – 10:00-11:45 CET
Language: English.
The first part of the session will present the European LEADER Youth Community and how you can become a part of it. REDR will also share the results of the surveys we launched a few months ago to analyze the role of young people in rural areas.In the second part, we will speak with several young people involved in decision-making at various rural entities: associations, local action groups, or city councils:
- Matías Rubio, Member of the Youth Advisory Council of the Council of Europe – Spain
- Aleksandra Niewczas, Coordinator International Project ESC Voluntary – Poland
- Francisco Javier Sánchez Vega, President of ADEME and REDEX – Spain
- Vladimir Dedić, President of LAG “Bura” – Croatia
- Emma El Aouni, Animator in LAG Seine Normande – France
What are we seeking with this online exchange?
We want to create a common space where young people will share their experiences about youth participation and representation in rural areas. We want to promote connections, identify opportunities, potential challenges, co-create solutions, and, above all, motivate others to get involved in the development of their territories through real-life examples and case studies.
