Our organization has been presented on a Partner Building Activity in February, 2016 in Spain. During the seven-day long mobility new reliable partners from rural areas have been found.

One of the goals of CultRural View is to implement Youth Exchanges in different Hungarian villages that are isolated and not yet discovered by multicultural communities. The PBA was a great opportunity to us to broaden our horizons and start to develop a new project with two more partners.

About “PBA in Rural”:

Youth exchanges (YE) change young people’s life. But also can change the live of a small town if it’s properly organized. This PBA wants to help in the challenge of create new projects of YE in rural areas (populations of less than 20,000 inhabitants), YE rooted on the places. Erasmus + underlines the importance of such Youth Exchanges as a powerful tool for young people (especially those with fewer opportunities) to empower themselves and to grow towards active citizens of their own community.

Objectives:

• To provide the chance to find good and reliable partners from rural areas to make youth exchanges with, creating a solid network of contacts and partnerships.
• To grasp the impact and social change a youth exchange can have within a small local community.
• To share what is needed to plan a youth exchange of good quality in rural areas.
• To discover the possibilities of local involvement.

We would like to thank Las Niñas del Tul association for the professional organization and great facilitation.
