Introduction
The European Rural Youth Summit will take place in Panaci, Romania from 29 August to 2 September 2023. The Summit aims to strategically develop the rural youth ecosystem in Europe. It brings together young people from rural areas across Europe, youth workers, youth organisers, and decision-makers. Organised by the European Youth Village Program, this summit provides a platform for rural youth to raise their voices, share experiences, and discuss rural youth work and rural development.

The European Rural Youth Summit has the following objectives:
– Create a space for dialogue between rural youth and decision-makers to address the challenges and opportunities facing rural areas in Europe;
