Discover the key outcomes of the SOS project that empower young people in rural and remote areas to share their voices, strengthen their communities, and contribute to the future of rural Europe.
Through participatory learning, storytelling, and community engagement, SOS creates opportunities for young people to develop skills, connect with their communities, and actively contribute to discussions on rural development and youth participation.
A training pathway designed to support young people in developing leadership, community engagement, and participatory research skills.
Through training camps and local workshops, participants learn how to analyse community needs, facilitate dialogue, and collect local stories related to migration experiences and rural life.
These activities empower young people to become active contributors to their communities and local development.
A series of geo-localised podcasts created by young participants that document stories, migration experiences, and the cultural identity of rural territories across Europe.
Each podcast connects storytelling with specific locations, allowing listeners to discover local places, histories, and perspectives through immersive audio experiences. These podcasts help give visibility to rural communities and highlight the voices of young people.
A collaborative policy document developed through participatory workshops, community consultations, and youth discussions across six European countries.
The paper gathers ideas, insights, and proposals from young people and local communities, contributing to policy dialogue on rural development, youth participation, and the future of rural territories in Europe.
SOS organises local events, public discussions, listening workshops, and dissemination activities that bring together young people, local communities, and decision-makers.
These events create spaces for dialogue, reflection, and collaboration, strengthening connections between youth organisations, institutions, and communities while promoting youth participation in shaping the future of rural regions.
