Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
MIJARC Europe, the International Movement of Catholic Agricultural and Rural Youth, is an international non governmental and non profit youth organization with a Christian identity, which is runned by young people and for young people living in the rural world.
As a European umbrella organization that gathers around 130.000 youngsters from all over Europe, MIJARC is a training and education movement, which targets young people coming from and living in rural areas.
The aim of our organisation is to defend the future and the interests of the rural world and the persons who live in it,specially youth, motivate them to contribute for a sustainable rural development.
By promoting training and education in the rural environment, MIJARC Europe aims also to provide tools to rural youngsters to fight social exclusion and to improve their opportunities as well as to empower them to be active citizens, making their voice heard towards decision-makers.
At European level, we aim at represent the interests of rural youngsters towards the international organizations, the church and the public opinion.
