ABOUT
“To the youth of today, I also have a wish to make: be the scriptwriters of your destiny ad feature yourselves as stars that showed the way towards a brighter future.”
- Nelson Mandela

The overall objective of ACORN is to develop and implement a new suite of resources including a transferable mechanism for youth inclusive rural development in four European regions during the lifetime of the project. Our ultimate goal is to engage, empower and inspire rural young people to become active citizens, co-creators and implementors of rural development initiatives that affect them and their future.
