The project wants to promote their participation in democratic life in Europe and in the labor market, strengthen links between the field of youth and the labor market, thanks to the many active non-formal laboratories,helded with senior experienced professionals, linked to the professions of the mountains and the rural world. Thanks to the involvement by all the Partners of SMEs, forums, councils and youth associations, the project aims to integrate specific youth reforms at local, regional and national level, to improve access to employment opportunities for young people. The project also aims to involve young people with social barriers, often determined by the high rate of youth unemployment, which gives these involved areas sad records. The broader view of the professions of the mountain, thanks to the network that will grow up with the European project, can and should enable the development of "new" workers and the identification of specific areas of work for young people of rural and mountain areas of " Youth 4L @ B ".
