<< Objectives >>Need for the project is shaped mainly by challenges partners observe in their local communities. Growing social diversity in Europe (shaped by the refugee and migration crisis, as well as by the economic crisis Europe is facing last years) is combined with xenophobia and growing nationalism, especially among young generation in Europe. This situation creates a need for NGOs to actively involve in actions promoting diversity and social inclusion. In order to do so, we need specific knowledge and working methods.The project consists of two activities – seminar and a training course. They are both designed to meet needs of partner organisations (and their members – project participants), diagnosed at the initial stage of the project.The main objective of the seminar, first activity of the project, is to equip partners with complex knowledge about diversity and social inclusion of minority groups in Europe, situation of young people in Europe in general, problems and situation of young migrants and refugees, and about strategic importance of social inclusion for European society. The seminar will also provide space for exchange of good practices, networking, and planning future activities in international cooperation.As a result of the training course participants (and their organisations) will be equipped with practical tools of working with minority groups and young people in general, using theatre related methodology (mainly, but not exclusively, forum theatre).The training course will be oriented on practical tools of youth work. Participants will exchange, learn and use in practice theatre related methods of youth work, learn about methodology of forum theatre, and link those methods to problems and issues diagnosed before.<< Activities >>The project consists of two activities – seminar and training course. The seminar will be held in Braga, Portugal, in August 22nd-29th 2019. The training course will be implemented also in Braga, Portugal, from 28th of November till 6th of December 2019 (including travel days on both).The project gathers 11 youth organisations from 11 different European countries (Portugal, Poland, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Lithuania, Romania, and Spain) and foresees in total 65 mobilities of youth workers (for both project activities). Participants of the project will be workers, co-workers, volunteers and local leader from partner organisations, engaged in their activities at a local level. Project methodology will be mostly based on “learning by doing” principle and based on non-formal education methodology. During the seminar we will use mainly presentations, discussion, working in groups, analysis of documents, meetings with guests and experts, and theatre related methods (also for ice-breakers, energisers, and team building). The training course will be run mainly using non-formal, learner oriented and theatre related methods. We will base mainly on theatre related methodology, supported by presentations and active non-formal methods of exchanging ideas, experience, and knowledge. Such attitude to the learning process will enable engagement of all participants and provide them with space not only to learn, but also to share their competences with others<< Impact >>As the project is designed to provide new competences to direct participants, they are expected to be the group that is influenced by the project the most. Through acquiring new competences by them, also capacities of partner organisations will grow, which in turn will affect young people in their local communities, especially young refugees and migrants, whose problems are at the core of the project.Participants – group of members and co-workers of partner organisations will acquire new competences related to supporting and working with groups of socially excluded youth using theatre related methodology (including forum theatre method). Through acquiring of new tools of youth work and better understanding of situation of young people in Europe in general, and also by changing (or strengthening their attitudes) they will be ready to implement new activities on local, regional, and European levels. As the project will consist of two activities, seminar, more oriented on knowledge and exchange of experience and good practices, and very practical in its shape training course, impact on participants will be multidimensional. We expect it to be slightly different for participants from different social realities (for example different experience of the migration crisis between participants from for example Poland and Greece), but as a result we expect to create a group of highly trained and motivated youth workers, able (and willing to) to work as a group and cooperate internationally to solve problems of young people in Europe.

Youth people that live in disadvantaged rural areas are facing many challenges In their daily life, but the hardest is to find employment. This problem contributes to the drastic increase of young people that, underestimating the potential of rural areas, leave their villages to move to big cities in search of best opportunities. Rural Up aims to raise awareness among the young people with fewer opportunities on the potential of rural areas, to train and inspire them to start new business in rural areas, and raise awareness on the benefits that rural entrepreneurship can produce In their Communities. We intend to contribute to decrease youth unemployment, to Develop of rural areas and the increase of social and economic cohesion. The 24 young people from Italy, Bulgaria, Grecee and Slovakia, between the ages of 18 and 25 who will participate in the exchange live in rural territories where there is an high rates of unemployment. We will select young people full of resources and potential to increase thanks to their project the employment in Europe The phases of the activities require a very strong active participation of young people, in a collaborative environment monitored and tense slaughter of relationship difficulties between individuals of different cultures. The methods will be based on non-formal learing and will be oriented to the needs of the participants. The facilitators and trainers will propose specifically: individual reflections, group exercises, workshops, presentations conducted by the participants and input sessions, exhaustive debates, team building exercises as well as to more complex simulations, role-playing games. The youth exchange will have a direct positive impact on young people, but also on the community, in fact, the participants will acquire the skills to develop new business into their own villages. The project results will be disseminated through various actions by partner associations to their members and to the participants' home communities. In addition, the young participants will have a new attitude towards Rural areas.
