EMPOWERING YOUTH TODAY - SUPPORT FOR YOUTH EMPLOYABILITY IN THE WESTERN BALKANS

What are key youth employability policy challenges in the Western Balkans today? Does cooperation between CSOs and public authorities exist? Are youth entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial learning developed enough?

We will discuss these and many more topics at our regional two-day online conference “Western Balkan Civil Society Organisations for Youth Employment Support”. The Conference will gather representatives of civil society, partner institutions/foundations, and government from the Western Balkans and the European Union, as well as representatives of the business community, researchers, and activists. The foreseen panelists during the Conference are coming from respective institutions, other international organizations, and both European and Western Balkans based civil society organizations, together with the country’s representatives and distinguished experts and members of academia.

You will have the opportunity to hear speakers such as Jan Zlatan Kulenovic (Regional Youth Cooperation Office), Lida Kita (European Training Foundation), Aleksandra Djurovic (Belgrade Open School), Irena Topalli (Beyond Barriers Association), Darko Rovcanin (Junior Achievement Serbia) and many more.
