A training course for strengthening capacities of key youth actors under the project – You(th) inspiring others

On November 2017, BLINK together with partners NGO PlusUnë, NGO Center for Citizens Empowerment and NGO IUVENTA decided to apply at the PILOT Open Call for Proposals with the project titled: You(th) inspiring others, launched by RYCO – www.rycowb.org

A seven days training course, for strengthening capacities of key youth actors.

BLINK will be the hosting organization of the training in Prishtina. Through this activity it is foreseen to break the prejudices and the disinformation for the youngsters from RYCO Contracting Parties – Kosovo , Montenegro and Serbia, for Kosovo, as a safety and attractive place, with the people that want to cooperate and to be integrated.

This is a 7-day training course for strengthening capacities on which will participate 30 youngsters, from 3 places, 10 from Montenegro (5F+5M), 10 from Serbia (5F+5M), and 10 Kosovo (5F+5M).

The criteria of age 20-30 years old, is defined because of methodology of work and because the project want to improve this target that will work (inspiring others) in the next stages of the project. 15 of them will be youth worker that are involved/working/ volunteering/ in minority issues. This criterion is decided because of the main aim of the project.

Social exclusion features similar characteristics in many RYCO Contracting Parties – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia and is determined by a multi-layer deprivation of basic human rights.
On the other side, young people who are not excluded, one can recognize difficulties in detecting exclusion in their own communities and to show empathy to their peers with fewer opportunities leading to the creation of invisible borders in societies.

The project aims to make a contribution to inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities and fostering the quality of support structures for young people by enhancing the competences of those working with marginalized youth. Furthermore, the project aims to strengthen civil society by facilitating the integration and active participation of young people through an exchange of best practices in order to contribute to intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding and tolerance among young people.
