Rural futures: What are the opportunities for young people in the countryside? (short version)

The next decade will bring considerable changes to economies and societies. On one hand, the side-effects of the COVID-19 combined with the uncertainties coming out of the war in the Ukraine will certainly affect globalization, mobilities and policy-making at national and international levels. On the other hand, the succession of crisis show the importance of shifting societies to greener, more sustainable societies, supported for ever more sophisticated technologies. We are, therefore, facing a transition between eras with all the transformative energy, but also with all the destructive power that transitions bring attached.

Mark Brennan, a professor of Sociology at Penn State University and a UNESCO Chair in Community, Leadership, and Youth Development closes our podcast series with a broad reflection about young people dreams, expectations and similarities across the world.

Our guest argues that massive technological changes as well as the need for a more sustainable way of life may represent a tremendous opportunity for rural communities. If this scenario is confirmed, rural people can have a pivotal role in reshaping rural ways of life.
