Training Course
8-14 March 2024 | San Vito Lo Capo, Italy
The program aims to strengthen the capacity of youth organizations working in rural areas through developing expertise in design thinking methodologies, community engagement strategies, and environmental sustainability practices.
This 6-day program is the second part of our placemaking journey for rural areas, following our first training on becoming a Village Facilitator. Participants will build on the skills and network developed previously to foster creativity, entrepreneurship, and well-being of young people through community-led sustainable development.
