Connecting Rural Youth Work - International Youth Work Practices for Rural Youth Organisations

Seminar

26-29 May 2024 | Waterford, Ireland , Ireland

This is a two-day event for rural youth organisations, who would like to become involved in international youth work and international volunteering opportunities.

The event will illustrate how the European Commission funded programmes, Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps, can be used to gain these invaluable experiences for young people. It aims to highlight good practices in rural youth work, the needs and challenges faced in rural youth work, and how these can be addressed through international youth projects and collaborations. Participants will also have a chance to meet similar organisations from across Europe who are looking for partner organisations to work with. 

Aims and objectives 

The event's overall aim is to promote the value of international youth work for rural youth organisations and to equip the participants with a good understanding of what International Youth Work is and how they can use Erasmus+ and ESC funding opportunities to expand the work they deliver through their rural youth services.  

The main objectives are to: 

  • Develop rural youth organizations' competences in international youth work and international volunteering. 
  • Inform the participants about the opportunities offered through the Erasmus+ and ESC programmes 
  • Highlight good practices in rural youth work, as well as needs and challenges and how they can be addressed through international activities 
  • Offer networking opportunities for future partnership building.
