FIRST PARTNER MEETING OF THE BALKAN REGIONAL PLATFORM FOR YOUTH PARTICIPATION AND DIALOGUE Featured

31 Jan 2015

LDA and LDAs in the Balkans have began the implementation of the operational grant "Balkan regional platform for youth participation and dialogue” with the first partner meetings held from 27 - 29 January in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Representatives of the Local Democracy Agencies, local authorities and young people had the opportunity to familiarize themselves and discuss about the objectives of the project/network and define the directions of its development, as well as mechanisms for effective joint cooperation. Also, the aim of the meetings was the strategic planning of project activities and the new platform for cooperation in the Western Balkans.

In order to analyze the general situation in the partner countries and define common priorities that will determine the successful construction of the regional platform, partners had the opportunity to present and exchange about the situation in their local communities related to youth policies, local priorities in the field of youth, as well as examples of good practice in youth participation at the local level.

In addition, the meeting of Youth engagement workers was held, who form the regional youth working group and will work actively together with the representatives of Local Democracy Agencies and partner municipalities/cities in achieving the objectives of the project. In Mostar, they had the opportunity to meet, participate in planning project activities and select the logo of the project/new network.

During 2015, a new platform will be created in the Balkans - a network of organizations that will work on strengthening regional cooperation and coordination between civil society and public authorities, with the aim of creating a better environment for youth participation and activism.

Prvi sastanak partnera projekta: „Regionalna platforma za učešće i dijalog mladih Balkana”

Predstavnici Agencija za lokalnu demokratiju, partnerskih opšina/gradova regiona te mladi : Mostara, Zavidovića, Prijedora (BiH), Subotice i Knjaževca (Srbija), Nikšića (Crna Gora), Pec-Peja (Kosovo) i ALDA-e započeli su implementaciju operativnog granta "Regionalna platforma za učešće i dijalog mladih Balkana" prvim sastancima partnera održanim od 27-29. januara u Mostaru, Bosna i Hercegovina.

Predstavnici Agencija, lokalnih vlasti i mladih su imali prilike da se bliže upoznaju sa ciljevima projekta i definišu pravce razvoja, kao i mehanizme zajedničke saradnje. Takođe, povod sastanka je bilo i strateško planiranje projekta i aktivnosti nove platforme za saradnju na području Zapadnog Balkana.

U cilju sagledavanja opšte situacije i definisanja zajedničkih prioriteta koji će odrediti uspješnu izgradnju regionalne platforme, partneri su imali prilike da prezentuju stanje u svojim lokalnim zajednicama vezano za omladinske politike, lokalne prioritete u oblasti mladih, kao i primjere dobre prakse u participaciji mladih na lokalnom nivou.

Pored toga, održan je i sastanak savjetnika za pitanja mladih, koji čine regionalnu omladinsku radnu grupu i koji će aktivno raditi, zajedno sa predstavnicima Agencija lokalne demokratije i opština/gradova partnera, na ostvarivanju ciljeva projekta. U Mostaru su imali prilike da se upoznaju, dobiju osnovne informacije o projektu i učestvuju u planiranju projektnih aktivnosti.

Tokom 2015. biće kreirana nova platforma na području Balkana - mreža organizacija koje će se baviti jačanjem regionalne saradnje i koordinacije između civilnog društva i vlasti, sa ciljem stvaranja boljeg okruženja za aktivizam i učešće mladih.
