We are inviting students to share their experiences and raise voice concerns regarding migration trends of young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, especially those from marginalized groups.
As such, we would like to invite you to participate in the International Youth Leadership Camp which will be organized in Montenegro, during the period of (12/04/2024) to (14/04/2024). The Camp will be organized for the purpose of discussing and defining key challenges related to scarce employment opportunities for young people in Bosnia & Herzegovina and Kosovo. The camp welcomes applications from young individuals aged between 18 and 30 who are eager to engage in discussions and collaborative initiatives.
It is crucial for individuals to collectively raise awareness that the economic future of both countries depends on young people. As future decision-makers, they will drive developments and policies. During this Youth Camp, participants will acquire decision-making, leadership, and soft skills essential for personal growth. Through exchanges with experts from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, they will develop tools to navigate the job market and actively engage in advocacy, policy development, and change.
Participants are invited to share experiences from their personal stories and work towards fostering a sense of community between different groups of young people.
Number of participants for the International Youth Leadership Camp is limited and participation is planned for 10 students from each country/territory.
Applications will be reviewed by the project team and 20 applicants will have the opportunity to participate in International Youth Leadership Camp. Students from marginalized groups in (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo) have the advantage!
Who can apply: Students and young professionals (up to 30 years old) from Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, interested in the field of decision-making and leadership skills and soft skills. Applicants should have good communication skills in English. All expenses related to participation in the program, including travel, accommodation, and food, will be covered by the organizers.
