Description of organisation

The Association of Young Trainers for Promoting Rural Development, is a youth association, founded in 2009. The idea of setting up this association belongs to a group of trainers from Valcea County, who wanted to promote training skills among young people in Valcea, especially among young people in the rural area.
Mainly ATFPDR aims to improve the quality of rural education system in Valcea but also involve local factors in the educational process.
