Objectives
- Exploring the principles and values for working with youth

Description
This activity brings together Leader LAGs from different parts of Europe. It aims to discuss the role of Leader LAGs in supporting local and international youth activities and how can it link to the LAG's role of rural development.
Working with young people requires suitable practices and resources, but it also creates impact that only young people can create. In this activity you will look at important values and applicable principles behind youth activities and agree on common practices in involving young people in future cooperation. You will also see potential partners to future international activities and initiate ideas for cooperation. You will understand how Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps funding can help you to activate your young people and develop your work.
