Europe’s rural areas have one common problem, and that is the migration of the young people. The purpose of the project is to identify the causes of migration in each partner area through a joint discussion of the project partners and to identify suggestions for preventing youth migration through active workshops. The quality of the analyzes and thematic discussions will be contributed by the experts (demographers and sociologists) who will be involved in the design of the EFYRA Study. The EFYRA Study will try to make an impact on policy-making at EU level. The project will involve young people who will be actively involved in analyzes and workshops, and the creation of EFYRA Study.
EFYRA Study will be sent to the national governments of the project partners, the Euro-parliamentarians and to the EU Commission.
The project will last 15 months.
Will be organized 5 thematic events:
1st event LET’S START – presentation of the project and the project partners, creation of sub-topics
