| Title | INVOLVING YOUTH IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT: LESSONS FROM THE LEADER PROGRAMME IN BANSKA BYSTRICA COUNTY, SLOVAKIA |
| Summary | Although the youth involvement in rural development has immense importance for keeping rural communities sustainable, productive and democratic; policies are usually not oriented toward rural youth. The LEADER programme, the special method of integrated rural development aimed at participatory and bottom-up approach, appears to be an ideal way to involve youth in rural development. Hence, this thesis attempts to examine the actual involvement of youth in LEADER programme using the case study of Banská Bystrica county in Slovakia. The results of the research show that there are several opportunities to involve rural youth through the LEADER programme, yet at the same time, the local context and the LEADER design play an important role too. |
