A recent ENRD workshop (3 May 2018 – Brussels, Belgium) brought together young farmers, entrepreneurs, and policy-makers to explore ways of creating employment opportunities and services for rural youth.

The event showcased inspiring examples of youth initiatives and projects related to entrepreneurship, rural-urban linkages, communication, and digitisation. Additionally, it discussed how various policy tools, funds, and their strategic combination could be used to improve the attractiveness of rural areas for young people.

The event is part of the broader ENRD thematic work on ‘Social Inclusion’.
