Rural Voices 2030

Engaging young rural European citizens in a gender responsive approach to soil protection

In the DEAR project Rural Voices 2030, we work together with young people in rural areas to design educational activities and events that highlight the connection between soil protection and global challenges. The aim is to motivate and empower them to get involved (in their communities), to implement their own ideas, or to advocate their concerns to decision-makers.

As part of the project, methods and activities are being developed that are specifically tailored to the requirements and needs of young people and organisations in rural areas, for example:

  • EU-wide development of an innovative, learner-centered approach to education in rural areas
  • Groundbreakers workshop on soil for groups of young people in rural areas
  • Hands-on activities with young people, such as gardening together, implementing artistic activities or developing (sensory experience) exhibitions on soil protection
  • Development of casual learning educational materials
  • Development of an interactive mobile exhibition to accompany public events in rural areas
  • Advocacy and participation formats, such as round tables with various stakeholders
  • Training for multipliers to disseminate the project approach
