“Agro Youth Camp” is a project under the Erasmus + – Key Action 1 program in the framework of organized mobility for young learners, organized by the Asturian Agricultural and Food Cooperatives in the city of Oviedo. The project aims to improve the skills of technical staff currently working or wishing to work on programs to promote rural recovery through the active participation of young people, and to promote the networking of rural associations and the creation of an international network based on the promotion of rural areas through the presentation of its resources and benefits to young people. The project aims to support the creation of an international network of youth organizations that collaborate in the development and promotion of youth associations in rural areas as a resource for the revitalization of these areas and as a model of life, with the aim of sustainability of all stakeholders and social institutions involved.
