Between December 5-7, the transnational meeting took place within the “Eurocreative Youth” project from the Erasmus Plus program that took place in Tirana (Albania), which is also the European Youth Capital 2022, which is why we organized this meeting in Tirana, having as hosts Kongresi Rinor Kombëtar, official partner in organizing the activities of the European Youth Capital 2022.
The project consortium consists of AEGARE (Spain), Razvojna agencija Sotla (Slovenia), Inbie Pl (Poland), Kongresi Rinor Kombëtar (Albania), Universitat Jaume I – UJI (Spain) and
Kepder Kültür Eğitim ve Proje Derneği (Turkey).
The “Eurocreative Youth” project aims for this group of young people to improve and increase their entrepreneurial skills in cultural tourism, with the aim of facilitating their inclusion and social fixation in these rural territories.
This context in which young Europeans living in rural areas and the challenges related to the development of these regions, is not local or national, but European.
Project objectives:
– The main objective of the “Eurocreative Youth” project is the social inclusion of young people living in rural and remote areas, so that they acquire, through training, the necessary skills that will allow them to creatively undertake cultural tourism in these areas.
Therefore, many young people living in rural and remote areas have fewer opportunities to train and acquire appropriate skills or abilities to improve their employability.
– The overall objective of this project is to use cultural and creative tourism as a catalyst to attract population, economic activity and quality jobs to rural and remote areas with high levels of depopulation and/or economic and social depression.
