Exploring Youth Work Realities in Kosovo

Deadline: 16/08/2010

SALTO South East Europe Resource Centre is organising a study visit: “Exploring Youth Work Realities in Kosovo”.

This study visit aims to give a push to the cooperation with Kosovo by offering the opportunity to youth workers and youth leaders to discover the youth work scene there and explore possibilities for establishing partnerships.

The activity will take place from 3 till 7 October 2010 and is open for project managers, youth leaders and youth workers.

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 change this 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 Pe?/Peja, and explore possibilities for establishing partnerships with organisations from this region.

Specific objectives:

  • Learning about the realities of youth work in Kosovo,
  • 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;
  • Developing ideas for future joint youth projects, in particular within Youth in Action;
  • Identifying partners for future Youth in Action projects.

It will include out-door visits and activities as well as non-formal learning activities aiming to reflect further and intiate ideas and partnerships for future cooperation.
