Education Model
Local Youth Stay Project
The Local Youth Stay Project is a project in which young urban people with various skills stay in local villages and grow with those villages to reduce the problems of declining population and education inequality in different regions.
It is an expanded form of the triangular mentoring model (basic) which reduces educational gaps together with young adults in cities, and in this model, young adults are sent to reinvigorate regions and reduce educational gaps between regions.
Targets of the Local Youth Stay Project are university students and young adults who expand communities together with teenagers. Young adults accumulate job experience in companies in various fields connected to the region while staying in the area and conducting community activities needed by teenagers or the local community to become agents of change. They gain drive and advice for decisions about their career and life goals by building cooperative networks with mentoring by members of society and empowerment.
