Youth Policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro: Challenges and Opportunities for Regional Cooperation

Domaci - udruga za kreativni razvoj

A conference on youth policy in BiH, Croatia and SCG will be held in Sarajevo, March 8-9, 2006. The conference will discuss the challenges and opportunities in the area of regional cooperation. The sessions of the conference will be held in two venues, the Parlamentarian House Hall and the Centre for Student Initiatives (formerly Igman Cinema).

Two key objectives of this conference will be: (1) to give youth representatives from these three countries the opportunity to shape the future development of youth policy in the target countries in accordance with the recommendations of the European Union; and (2) to propose a platform for regional cooperation that will support the improvement of state youth policies in these countries.

During the final part of this conference the participants will review the conclusions and the conference summary, which will include suggestions about how local and international institutions and bodies can support future youth endeavors and play a stronger role in improving youth policies in the target countries.

This regional conference will be organized by Catholic Relief Services, Association Domaci from Croatia, Association Child Rights Center from Serbia and Montenegro, Foundation for Creative Development from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Youth Information Agency from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The conference will be implemented within a larger regional project entitled, �Youth Lens - Youth Network for Cooperation with Government�, which is working to develop an effective, sustainable, empowered network of youth from Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina that will promote multi-ethnic tolerance and insure joint advocacy on prioritized youth policy issues at community, state and regional levels.

The organizers hope that your participation and suggestions will encourage the youth activists involved to continue their commitment to improving youth policy and promoting democratic principles in South East Europe and welcome you and look forward to seeing you at the conference.
