This badge recognises participation in the “Youth Voices from Rural Europe” event, organised on May 12–13, 2026 at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
The event brought together European rural youth, educational professionals, territorial development actors and decision-makers through a process of dialogue, co-construction and advocacy-building for rural youth across Europe.
Participants contributed to spaces for reflection, debate and European cooperation aimed at strengthening youth participation in rural territories and within European democratic processes.
This edition represents a key milestone of the CONNECT-R project, which aims to develop long-term European democracy spaces dedicated to rural youth : https://europe.mfr.fr/category/projets/connect-r/
