Dreams and expectations of the youth

Dreams and expectations of the youth

The depopulation and the aging of the population is a typical characteristic in the mountainous areas of Greece. The prospects for the conservation and development of mountainous regions are closely connected with the stay of young people in these regions. For this reason, the teenagers are the objective of study in this paper, as they will be the future residents of the area of the Municipality of Zitsa. More specifically, this paper examines the views, the difficulties, the thoughts, the problems, the dreams, the way of life and the expectations of the students of High School, of the Municipality of Zitsa. The paper sheds light on the pupils and highlights what makes them happy in the place where they live and what their main concerns for the future are. The results are particularly interesting and important, as a policy tool to the direction of the stay and the return of young people in this mountainous area.
