From Barriers to Action!

[From Barriers to Action] On the 4th of May, our partner, RIT Croatia, hosted a workshop event in Zagreb.

The aim of the workshop was to examine the regional conditions, evaluate challenges and harness opportunities in cooperation with rural youth and local stakeholders. Furthermore, the gathering also served as a validation effort to compare completed country reports, which paint a clearer picture on the actual conditions of rural youth.

With the help of distinguished guests of the academia, the organized round table helped to further convert ideas and research results into practical implementable solutions, which will empower rural youth. The most pressing of questions being on what creates the gap between interest and active participation among youth and how do we bridge it? How does SMILE bridge it?

Keep an eye out for future updates from SMILE team!

SMILE goes on... smile with us!
