OSCE Mission to Skopje supports youth participation in democratic life
Empowering youth participation in democratic life is the focus of a seminar supported by the OSCE Mission to Skopje that will take place from 20 to 22 November 2014, in Bitola.
Representatives of youth, public authorities, international organizations will work together to identify the current state of youth involvement in society as well as obstacles for developing their full potential and ideas for the way forward.
“Youth plays an active role in leading community initiatives, contributing also to economic development and political process. Young people must be encouraged to take part in national development and spread positive social change.” said Head of OSCE Mission to Skopje, Ambassador Ralf Breth “Inter-ethnic tensions affect youth and school environments, which can be effectively countered through dialogue and exchange.”
The seminar is organized by the OSCE Mission to Skopje, in co-operation with the Agency for Youth and Sport.
