Tv as a factor in development of rural tourism

This document discusses the role of television in raising ecological awareness among rural populations as a factor in developing rural tourism. It first establishes that television is the most influential mass medium and can serve an important educational function by informing viewers about environmental issues. The document then examines several television programs in European countries that aim to educate rural audiences about agriculture, rural life, and environmental protection. However, it finds that television programs in Serbia do not sufficiently promote ecology and environmental protection in rural areas. The role of developing ecological awareness among rural populations through television is important for the sustainable development of rural areas and tourism.

Municipality of evosmos

The Municipality of Kordelio-Evosmos is located in northern Greece near the city of Thessaloniki. It has a population of around 170,000 people, many of whom are school-aged children and youth. The Youth Information Center of Kordelio-Evosmos was established in 1999 and aims to inform and promote social engagement among local youth aged 15-30. It organizes various programs and activities focused on youth empowerment, cultural exchange, and community involvement.

Set Designer: Costume Designer: Lighting Designer: Choreographer: The Prince and the Pauper is a new opera based on Mark Twain’s classic novel of the same name. The story tells of two boys who are born on the same day in London – one a pauper named Tom Canty, the other the Prince of Wales. By a twist of fate they meet and decide to trade identities for a day, with unexpected and amusing consequences. The opera is a co-production between the Estonian National Opera and the Latvian National Opera. It will receive its world premiere in Tallinn and then travel to Riga in March 2013. The music is composed

Challenge
+ Lack organized representation, as opposed
to ‘grown-up stakeholder groups’ (e.g. trade
unions, industry lobbying groups, etc.), so difficult
to involve directly in decisionmaking.
+ Not used to having agency in strategic
processes, especially in Ida-Virumaa; the default
attitude is: „why should I care, I am going to
leave anyway.“
+ Low awareness, since the context they grow
up in is largely denying climate change.
+ Language barrier (80%+ Russian-speaking).

Transition is about the future, but the
youth (who will need to lead that future)
are pretty hard to reach:
Youth climate
assembly
+ Took place in November – December 2021.
+ Organized by the Estonian Nature Foundation
and NGO Rohetiiger.
+ Participants: ~40 Ida-Viru youth, selected via
an algorithm based on national register’s data to
ensure acurate representation.
+ Format: meeting stakeholders, learning about
climate policy, developing a climate-friendly
vision for Ida-Virumaa.
+ Results: 1) 26 suggestions for inclusion into
the TJTP; 2) a new youth NGO founded and
included into the JTF steering committee; 3)
served as a pilot for other assemblies.

Climate
Assembly
During March – May 2024, we carried
out a communication campaign that
focused on the youth of Ida-Virumaa.
Spring 2024
campaign
+ Local kids;
+ Real stories;
+ Tangible impact.
+ Goal: to lend a ‘human dimension’ and a
positive emotional background to the
transition process – locals should not be
spectators of the transition, but active
shapers of the process.
+ Budget: 16,7 mln euros
+ A lot of the projects are for and by the
youth.

Tourism in macedonia

Macedonia has significant natural and cultural attractions that make it suitable for tourism, receiving about 700,000 tourists annually. The country treasures many historical and cultural sites and holds internationally recognized events. It has also established initiatives like MEDMACEDONIA to promote medical tourism and campaigns like "Macedonia - Timeless" to attract more visitors. While tourism plays an important economic role, women in Macedonia face challenges in terms of political representation and land ownership, with patriarchal social norms limiting their participation and decision-making power within families and the labor market.

RURAL GROWTH MILAN PRESENTATION

This document discusses opportunities for rural growth and outlines a proposed research agenda. It identifies three types of rural regions and their main challenges. New technologies and business opportunities can provide rural dwellers with new sources of income if connectivity and skills are improved. The document proposes pulling together existing research findings, identifying rural assets like ecosystems services, and better communicating research to policymakers to help shape policy and investments that support rural growth. A phased approach is suggested starting with understanding contexts and potentials before establishing development strategies and addressing obstacles.

Lesotho is an under developed economy and faces challenges of the HIV AIDS pandemic, political instability, high poverty levels, high unemployment rate, high public expenditure, declining revenues and inequalities. The country has got three universities. This study sought to analyse the programmes offered by the universities and how they contribute to the development of the national fiscal and establish gaps that need to be filled. The study is explorative and investigative and uses qualitative analysis of the data.

Lessons learned
+ The youth have a lot to contribute to the
just transition process. It is paramount that
you ‘tune in’, listen and take them
seriously;
+ Reaching the youth requires effort and
creative thinking. Meet them where they are
and speak their language. You also need
to dig deeper – Estonia managed to
discover the importance of the youth in the
transition based on data and pretty early in
the process;
+ It’s not enough to just ‘reach out’ to the
youth – you need to make sure to allocate
resources that they can use.

The Role of Youth in Setting up a Just Transition in Ida-Virumaa, Estonia

  • 1. Role of the youth in setting up a just transition in Ida- Virumaa Ivan Sergejev Just transition process coordinator Estonian Ministry of Finance "Youth Empowerment for a Just Energy Transition“ June 18th, 2024 Kiviõli Adventure Center. Foto: Marko Koks
  • 2. Please meet Ida- Virumaa! + Target region of the EU’s Just Transition Fund (JTF) in Estonia due to its high dependence on the oil shale sector. + Border region of EU and NATO. + Population 133 358, ageing and decreasing. + Incomes – among the lowest nationally, except in the oil shale sector; unemployment rate 2x the Estonian average. + Highly dependent on large industry, least entrepreneurial region of Estonia. + Only 17,5 % of the regionś residents speak Estonian as their mother tongue. © Tõnu Tunnel
  • 3. Interventions 1. “Economy and labor” 273 mln € (~80% of JTF volume) Support for large scale investments and SME’s, R&D support in local colleges and enterprises, incubation and other business services, labor market measures and training. 2. “Environment and social inclusion” 66,74 mln € (~20% of JTF volume) Decoupling district heating from oil shale, renovation of housing, addressing environmental and health impacts, supporting municipalities and grass-route regional initiatives. Estonia’s JTF allocation is 340 million euros +TA, and it is split into two main programmatic strands:
  • 4. Involvement of partners + National steering committee, involving ministries, local stakeholders, MP’s, industry and trade unions, environmental associations and the youth; + Regional just transition platform and local ‘soft’ networking structures, e.g. clusters; + Public consultation activities, incl. public opinion polls, seminars, written consultations, focus groups with individual stakeholders, public communication, etc. Photo: Renee Altrov A multi-level approach:
  • 5. Challenge + Lack organized representation, as opposed to ‘grown-up stakeholder groups’ (e.g. trade unions, industry lobbying groups, etc.), so difficult to involve directly in decisionmaking. + Not used to having agency in strategic processes, especially in Ida-Virumaa; the default attitude is: „why should I care, I am going to leave anyway.“ + Low awareness, since the context they grow up in is largely denying climate change. + Language barrier (80%+ Russian-speaking). Photo: Juri Všivtsev Transition is about the future, but the youth (who will need to lead that future) are pretty hard to reach:
  • 6. Youth climate assembly + Took place in November – December 2021. + Organized by the Estonian Nature Foundation and NGO Rohetiiger. + Participants: ~40 Ida-Viru youth, selected via an algorithm based on national register’s data to ensure acurate representation. + Format: meeting stakeholders, learning about climate policy, developing a climate-friendly vision for Ida-Virumaa. + Results: 1) 26 suggestions for inclusion into the TJTP; 2) a new youth NGO founded and included into the JTF steering committee; 3) served as a pilot for other assemblies. Photo: Climate Assembly
  • 7. During March – May 2024, we carried out a communication campaign that focused on the youth of Ida-Virumaa. Spring 2024 campaign + Local kids; + Real stories; + Tangible impact.
  • 8. + Goal: to lend a ‘human dimension’ and a positive emotional background to the transition process – locals should not be spectators of the transition, but active shapers of the process. + Budget: 16,7 mln euros + A lot of the projects are for and by the youth.

  • 9. Lessons learned + The youth have a lot to contribute to the just transition process. It is paramount that you ‘tune in’, listen and take them seriously; + Reaching the youth requires effort and creative thinking. Meet them where they are and speak their language. You also need to dig deeper – Estonia managed to discover the importance of the youth in the transition based on data and pretty early in the process; + It’s not enough to just ‘reach out’ to the youth – you need to make sure to allocate resources that they can use.
