Developing transnational transversal youth strategies in regions with migration

Many regions within the Central Europe area are suffering from demographic change and brain drain of young and skilled population. 

The project Yura wants to develop transnational transversal youth strategies to counteract the consequences of demographic change and brain-drain. The participating regions are all suffering from above-average migration of especially young and qualified people.

The development and implementation of transnational strategies for the adaptation of social infrastructure (access to education and culture, mobility and transport, leisure opportunities, living conditions, etc.) in the participating regions should contribute to counteract social and spatial segregation and integrate the interest of relevant target group (young people and young families) in the early planning phase. An important effort of the project is the integration regional decision makers from different policy areas (regional development, economy, education, social and urban planning), key stakeholders from industry and academia, regional employment agencies as well as the social partners and relevant target groups (young people and young families) already in the early planning phase.
