Do you want Gotland's rural areas to be a good place for young people to live, thrive, and work? We are looking for you with great commitment and drive who wants to make a difference by strengthening young people's entrepreneurship and uplifting young people who live and work in Gotland's rural areas!
Leader Gute's project ”We rural builders in Gotland” is about uplifting and developing social entrepreneurship in the island's rural areas. We want to inspire, exchange experiences, and transfer knowledge to stimulate more to become what we call ”rural builders” – that is, those who make efforts to develop their own community. The initiative is primarily aimed at young rural residents.
The project started in 2022 and is now entering its final and concluding year. Therefore, we are focusing our efforts on young people's entrepreneurship and looking for you who want to work to reach out to, inspire, and strengthen young people's entrepreneurship in Gotland's rural areas.

Tasks
With us, you will be part of a small and dedicated team of employees with different areas of responsibility who encourage and support each other where needed.
You will work together with colleagues to arrange and carry out physical meetings, lectures, workshops, and similar activities related to entrepreneurship and innovation, both social and economic. The target group for the activities is young people aged 13–25 in Gotland's rural areas.
You will also work with colleagues on communication towards the target group of young people aged 13–25 in Gotland within the framework of the project. For example, via platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, or similar. Within this framework, you will also create segments and highlight young ”rural builders” who are active on the island.
You should actively work to be where young people are and adapt content and the project's activities to young people's needs and interests. This means actively seeking out young people and exploring their interests and needs to shape the project's activities accordingly. You will also collaborate with other relevant actors and associations in Gotland.
