Fully Funded International Youth Conference

The conference will bring together participants from the countries of the SEE region and Turkey, as well as guests from youth organizations partners from Germany, France and Poland in the role of mentors.  The topic of this year event is “European Values for the Future of SEE countries”. The discussion will be focused on the values shared by both EU countries and Western Balkans.

Striving towards answering the questions “Will 2018 be a year of opportunity for the region?”, in the Balkans, apart from the country-specific issues, experts observing the region have identified a number of trends, such as erosion of democracy, fast-rising nationalist sentiments, and external influences based on the global geopolitical movements, corrupted political elites, difficulties in implementing rule of law, all of which, require a priority action. The challenge lies, therefore, in speeding up the enlargement process, but without compromising the quality of reforms.  Hereby, young people are important key figures for tise important process in the region.
