Connecting roots

This partnership building seminar is a base for deepening of existing partnerships, or for creating of new ones, for future projects and cooperation. It is designed for representatives of the organizations working with youth mainly in the rural areas.

Our organization ART KRUH is located in a region with highest rate of people living in a rural area in Slovakia. In such a place young people can hardly find personal fulfillment, especially the basic condition: job opportunities or higher education. Therefore they often migrate to the cities and rural remains just a place for visiting old members of family.

However, specific situation is in urban areas, where demand for healthy and natural products depended on countryside (healthy food, natural medicine and cosmetics, nature itself, …), grows. One of possible answers is support of entrepreneurship, farming or creative industry among young people, specifically focused on connection between urban and rural areas.

The need is therefore to improve working methods, projects flow, and organizational network for organizations from rural regions.

In second point the need is to improve learning and working opportunities for youth in rural regions by providing non-formal education.

Attention: Participants from Slovakia are already nominated.
