Objectives

The aim of the JACTRA project was to prevent depopulation of the cross-border region due to a lack of awareness of employment and training opportunities in the Comminges-Arán cross-border area of the central Pyrenees.

Dates : 01/06/2022 – 30/11/2023
Budget : 8 805 €

Project actions

Results

The main results achieved were:

1. Outreach through information sessions and joint initiatives led by training and employment organisations.

2. More than 10 young volunteers took part, with equal representation of both genders and nationalities (young people aged between 18 and 25 with educational backgrounds ranging from Year 10 to engineering).
