BucoliCAT

Eveho has activated the ‘BucoliCAT’ project with the help of other other organisations in Catalonia such as Cecot, Dkaia and Tandem Social, and funded by the ‘laCaixa’ Foundation.

The objective is to implement this project in the municipalities of the rural area  to promote the processes of repopulation and socio-economic dynamis, as well as the accompaniment of young people ex-guardians ships or in the process of emancipation, to start a business or offer a service in the community independently.

‘BucoliCAT’ is a technical project created by the Arke Office of Eveho as a response to the demographic challenge and the depopulation processes that affect spain today and specifically in Catalonia, This is due to the low birth rate, the closure of businesses and the disappearance of services in municipalities in rural areas, the lack of training and employment opportunities for the young population, which places them geographically in a situation of vulnerability, the exodus to other urban sites, and the need to promote independent actions for a harmonious and sustainable development.

The process of repopulation of at least 3 municipalities is favored in a pioneering experience, addressing labor insertion, social inclusion and transition in adult life to facilitate these people to overcome obstacles such as bureaucratic processes, the regularization of their legal situation, or the lack of opportunities that impact on the profile of young people and their emancipation.

Eveho’s ‘BucoliCAT’ offers individualized support towards the professional autonomy of young people for integration into the labour market through self-employment in key companies neglected or which close to support the economic activity of the municipality, but also the emancipation and integration in the community, and the autonomy of this group of vulnerable young people. Taking into account in a cross-cutting manner the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda, and in particular Goal n°8, on the promotion of inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all, and N°10 on reducing inequalities in and between countries.
