Urban–Rural Divide: Enhancing Access for Disadvantaged Youth through Social Entrepreneurship
About the project
Urban–Rural Divide is an Erasmus+ project coordinated by NextGen e.V. from Munich, with ArtInspire as one of the partners. It brings together young people from Germany, Spain, Poland, Türkiye and Estonia to look at the barriers that young people with fewer opportunities face in cities and in the countryside, and to answer them with social entrepreneurship.
The project has two youth exchanges of six days each. The first, Exploring Urban Realities, took place in Munich in June 2026: study visits to NGOs and social initiatives, workshops on social entrepreneurship and the first prototypes of ideas. From July to November 2026 the national groups keep developing their ideas with online mentoring. The second exchange, Exploring Rural Realities, takes place in Alcalá la Real in Andalusia, Spain, in December 2026, with visits to cooperatives, farms and artisan workshops and public presentations of the ideas.
Each partner sends five young people aged 18–30 and a group leader to each exchange. A practical booklet with the methods, prototypes and reflections of the participants will be shared with youth organisations across Europe.
Funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union (Key Action 1, youth exchange).
