let, ki so izključeni iz zaposlovanja, izobraževanja ali usposabljanja. Do
danes raziskave niso zagotovile celovitega, nadnacionalnega okvira za
razumevanje profila teh mladostnikov in (ne) formalne podporne sisteme na
podeželskih območjih. Šele pred kratkim se je razlikam med mladimi, ki
temeljijo na izvoru, začela posvečati pozornost, posebej do učencev, kot
pomembnega merila za preučevanje položaja mladih, ki niso ali so slabo vključeni
v izobraževanje, uposabljanje in s tem zaposlovanje. Nekatera dela so odkrila
večje in raznolike v posameznikovi ranljivosti, posebej za podeželske NEET, kot
tudi omejitve glede podpore, ki jo zaznavajo in izvajajo njihovi neformalni in
formalni sistemi. Zato je glavni cilj te akcije
izboljšati poznavanje in razumevanje problemate povezanih s socialno
izključenostjo mladih na podeželju ter prenos dobrih praks med državami preko
vzpostavitvitve mreže raziskovalcev in drugih zainteresiranih deležnikov, ki se
ukvarjajo z različnimi vidiki podeželskih mrež za mlade in tveganji povezanih s
socialno izključenostjo mladih na podeželju. Gre za interdisciplinarne vsebine
in pristope do družbenih izzivov na podeželju, kot vprašanja, ki so pomembna
tudi za Slovenijo. Zato smo od vsega začetka bili vključeni v pripravo projekta
in njegovo prijavo. Kot partner pri akciji CA18213 bo le-ta za Univerzo na
Primorskem kot tudi celotno Slovenijo predstavljala pomemben preboj na področju
interdiscilinarnih pristopov do družbenih izzivov med mladimi na podeželju pri
nas v primerjavi z drugimi državami v Evropi. 

The term NEET refers to young people aged 15 to 34 who are excluded from employment, education, or training. To date, research has not provided a comprehensive, transnational framework for understanding the profiles of these young people or the formal and informal support systems available in rural areas. Only recently has significant attention been paid to disparities among young people based on their background—particularly regarding their educational trajectories—as a criterion for examining the situation of those not integrated into education, training, and employment. Studies have revealed greater and more diverse individual vulnerabilities, especially among rural NEETs, as well as limitations in the support provided by formal and informal systems. Therefore, the main goal of this initiative is to improve knowledge and understanding of the issues surrounding rural youth social exclusion and to facilitate the transfer of best practices between countries. This is to be achieved by establishing a network of researchers and other stakeholders addressing various aspects of rural youth networks and the risks associated with rural youth social exclusion. The project involves interdisciplinary content and approaches to addressing rural social challenges—issues that are of great importance to Slovenia. Consequently, we have been involved in the project’s preparation and application from the very beginning. As a partner in Action CA18213, this initiative will represent a significant breakthrough for the University of Primorska—and for Slovenia as a whole—regarding interdisciplinary approaches to the social challenges faced by rural youth in the country, in comparison with other European nations.
