The “POLITEIA Western Balkans School for Youth Participation” event will reunite experts, researchers, representatives from associations and institutions from around Europe to discuss youth participation in the political process within POLITEIA School, that this year has turned digital! ALDA is glad to be actively involved in this great experience, making its knowledge available to the participants
From a general perspective, POLITEIA School is a successful project, which started already in 1997, when, in a period of civic and students protests, people started to turn the attention and deepen their knowledge as far as the democratic and European values concerned.
An opportunity to discuss education, youth and the Balkans future
This year, young people will join lectures and workshops from May 7th until 29th.
ALDA’s Secretary General, Antonella Valmorbida, will be among the keynote speakers at the opening panel, entitled: “Youth in the Western Balkans – Agents of Change”, which will launch this year edition!
