INFO about the PROJECT
Study Visit “Rural Development through entrepreneurship” aims to explore the possibilities of developing and running different kind of entrepreneurship activities in rural areas based on share of good experience and reality of the Republic of Moldova. It is well known that the migration from rural to urban areas or to develop countries, special in EECEA region brought the fact that many of the villages remained populated only by old people and children.
The investments usually refers to the welfare of particular families and not to an entrepreneurship activity where the money can produce sources for community development and change the rural life into a prosper one. Moldova is one of the countries famous for massive migration to European countries. While many citizens remained to work on the black market some of the turned back home and invested in their communities, these mainly referring to agriculture, social life and manufacturing. We do believe that a Study Visit where young people can get acquainted with the successful examples of rural entrepreneurship, can raise the self-esteem of rural young people, stop the massive migration and motivate those who immigrated to invest in their community. The project is based on the share of good experience alongside the concrete information to be provided on how to develop an entrepreneurship activity, what are the needed resources for a good start, what kinds of European grants do support rural development and how to put the ideas into practice. The project will deeply explore the topic of Global Warming and new technologies offered for ecological entrepreneurship.
