OSCE Mission to Montenegro organizes capacity-building course for administrators of local youth services

In co-operation with the Directorate for Sports and Youth, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro organized a capacity building training course for young women and men engaged in local youth services across the country from 25 to 27 November 2021.

The training course took place after the Directorate for Sports and Youth completed the selection of new administrators of local youth services in 11 municipalities through a public call for performing administrative and technical work in youth services.

The training course focused on youth equality, volunteerism, solidarity and active participation. Participants also discussed management of youth services and service provision. ​

Opening the workshop, Marko Begović, Acting Director of the Directorate for Sports and Youth, said that with renewing the work of youth services, young people will primarily be given the opportunity to make decisions, express their views and act in order to improve the position of young people in society, and make changes that are crucial for young people. “We will provide young people with an adequate environment, and influence their attitudes regarding the desire to leave their country,” said Begović.

Following the completion of this training course, the Mission will support organizing separate mentoring sessions for each centre, to ensure that administrators apply the acquired knowledge in their daily work.
