WHY: Low participation of citizens in decision making process, especially of young people, the lack of capacities among local organizations in rural areas, social exclusion and poverty are directly contributing to migration of young people from rural areas in both countries.

WHAT: This project strives to mainstream the use of social media as a powerful tool for raising awareness about the issues of youth in rural areas and to promote the potential of the two regions – in North Albania and Northern Serbian province of Vojvodina.
