UpRural Toolkit for youth workers and EU youth on rural development through social innovation and entrepreneurship

This toolkit is the result of the collaboration of 10 EU organisations reflecting on the potential of European youth to change various socio-territorial dynamics, especially isolated and rural areas through innovative entrepreneurships and participatory actions for community empowerment. After months of research and interactions, the consortium met in France (Clermont-Ferrand) in July 2023 to test tools, visit innovative projects in order to develop this toolkit as a deliverable for all European project managers curious on how EU youth and youth work in general can contribute to territorial development processes. The mobility was attended by 30 EU project managers who brought on board their experiences and ideas to stimulate the creation of an interactive and innovative environment where the tools contained herein where tested and developed for the use of anyone aiming to spearhead local community actions through youth work, social innovation and entrepreneurship.
