RYE aims to contribute to local, regional, national and transnational rural economic development by stimulating latent entrepreneurial abilities among young people in Northern Ireland, Faroe Islands, Finland and Greenland. This will be achieved through transferring and adopting a successful urban enterprise programme, the Young Entrepreneurs Programme (YEP), into the rural communities of the above mentioned countries by developing a bespoke Rural Young Entrepreneurs programme (RYE) using an innovative and creative online methodology. Such up-skilling and outreach will maximise the full potential of young peoples ability in the target rural areas. In turn, this will help facilitate the development and sustainability of more vibrant indigenous micro and SME sectors in these areas.Aim & Objectives:The overall aim of the project is to create and test an innovative Rural Young Entrepreneurs programme for developing youth enterprise skills and business start rates in rural areas.
