From 23 to 25 February, the mountain of Kozara near Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina hosted the fourth Regional network meeting of the Balkan Regional Platform for Youth Participation and Dialogue.

The Regional network meeting marked the start of project’s third year, full of activities for 5 Balkan countries by 8 Local Democracy Agencies (LDAs) in the Western Balkans.

During the meeting, the delegates of the LDAs together with the youth workers, involved in the project, reflected on the past activities of 2016, such as the Regional forum for local democracy, My City – Youth City, Youth taking over day, research on a regional level, and many others. An action plan was then created for the project implementation of the activities foreseen in 2017, among which a Regional forum for local democracy will be organized in Peja, Kosovo, and a regional research on the topic of cultural participation will be conducted.

The Balkan Regional Platform for Youth Participation and Dialogue has the aim to encourage youth participation and to foster dialogue between local authorities and civil society. The project is funded by the European Union, coordinated by ALDA, and implemented by 8 Local Democracy Agencies in 5 Balkan countries: Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Kosovo.
