ABOUT
URBAN-ROOTs: Youth-Led Regeneration is a 24-month Erasmus+ project that aims to empower young people and youth professionals through sustainable urban regeneration and social entrepreneurship. The project promotes the transformation of abandoned and underused urban spaces into sustainable community gardens and environmental learning hubs.
