The ‘School of Rurality’ open call is seeking 50 young people (aged 18–30) from across Italy to participate in workshops, meet with policymakers, and develop new knowledge and skills related to policy development. This summer school is free of charge and will take place in the municipality of Bagnoli Irpino and the hamlet of Villaggio Laceno.
It is an initiative of the EU-funded YES I AM project, led by the Give Back Giovani Aree Interne think tank, working to strengthen young people’s engagement in rural development.
