Details Framework and aim of the study visit

While many partnerships exist between organisations in Youth in Action Programme countries and most of the countries of South East Europe, relatively little cooperation within the Programme involves specifically partners in Kosovo (under UNSC Resolution 1244/1999). Realities of young people and youth work in this part of Europe are still unknown to many youth leaders and youth workers in other countries.

This study visit wants to give a push to the cooperation with this part of South East Europe by offering the opportunity to a small group youth workers and youth leaders to discover the youth work scene in the western part of Kosovo, in particular the areas around Prizren and Peć/Peja, and explore possibilities for establishing partnerships with organisations from this region.

Specific objectives

Visiting different youth organisations and learning about their priorities and activities;
On the basis of the experiences during the study visit, reflecting about the situation of youth work in the participants' countries;
