"7 STEPS" is a step-based international project, which aims to fight problems that youth from rural areas faces today. Youth groups from 7 countries will meet in Lithuania to learn these 7 steps that will help them to reach success in life. Our goal is to help young people feel more comfortable about themselves and have a vision in life, with the help from our partners we can change youngsters’ point of view and support them in dealing with challenges in their lives and in the labor market. A person with healthy habits, clear mindset, high motivation is more likely to get a job and/or start their own initiatives. The project aims is to empower young people to be more active and live healthy and successful lives. As the “Baby boomer” generation is going into the retirement Europe needs more young and creative people.This project aims to involve organizations that are working with youth from rural areas and groups of young people active in youth work. This will be beneficial for all sides. Youngsters from rural areas will have a chance to participate in international project and improve their competences for employability.
