SARAJEVO, May 19 (FENA) - Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) presented its new "Western Balkans Youth Lab" Project: It’s time to change - young people should take the lead.
This project of the RCC will establish Western Balkan Youth Labs to work on important issues common for all young people across the region, such as employment, entrepreneurship, education, etc. together with policy makers, to mobilize and involve the youth in decision-making process.
So far, 50% of the young people in the region did not even discuss options that could affect government decision making and as many as 32% did not care for it at all, our latest Balkan Barometer says.
Western Balkans Youth Labs is a 3-year Project that is funded by the European Union (1.5 million EUR) and implemented by the RCC.
The project aims to provide opportunities for youth to participate in decision-making in Western Balkans six economies (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia), in which youth constitutes 21.27% of the overall population, RCC announced.
