THE FIRST TEAM OF THE “RURAL RAPSODY” PROJECT IS READY TO REALIZE ITS VISION.
On Saturday, April 27, 2024, an educational workshop was held with the first team as part of the “Rural Rhapsody – young people in the rhythm of community” project.
A team of young people from the area of Vodice presented an ambitious idea that would improve the quality of the offer offered by the city, and at the same time motivate the community to physical activity and sustainable means of transport. What exactly it is about, we’ll keep to ourselves for now. 😉
Before the actual implementation of the project, young people had to go through education on the basic items that they will use in the implementation. They received answers to the questions “What is a project?”, “What is design thinking?”, “What are the phases of a project?” and “How to make a budget?”. All this is important information that expands their knowledge that they will certainly use in the future. Of course, the workshop was conducted with the help of informal methods, which brought this possibly demanding topic closer to young people in an accessible way.
Now that they have absorbed the knowledge, the young people face the challenge of turning the idea into reality, but with professional mentoring, we are sure that they will do the job successfully!
*The goal of the “Rural Rhapsody” project is to empower young people from the local community to actively work in their own rural community and take on the role of initiators and organizers of cultural, entertainment and other content through the preparation and implementation of their own projects. This project is an opportunity for the young population of rural areas to acquire knowledge and skills in an alternative way, different from the one normally offered in their environment.
*The project is financed by the Central State Office for Demography and Youth through financial support from available funds from part of the income from games of chance and the State Budget for 2023.
