Young people informed the strategy’s preparations and identified demand for a series of capacity building events dedicated to youth participation in the revitalisation of their rural communities.
The project also helped young people in the LAG area to develop project ideas and promoted rural networking connecting young people to rural youth development initiatives and opportunities outside of Finland via involvement in European partnership actions.

Production of a Youth strategy.
Organisation of information sessions, other youth events and Erasmus+ project plans.
1 500 young people involved in project activities.
