Skopje Regional Conference: Youth Policies for the Future

On 25-26 October, in Skopje, over 50 young decision-makers (mayors, members of municipal councils, youth officers, and representatives of civil society and local youth councils) from the Western Balkans discussed youth policies and constructive narratives at the local level.

The discussions encompass a wide array of topics, including youth engagement at the local level, the creation of youth-friendly spaces, the implementation of measures for the benefit of young individuals within municipalities, countering hate speech, promoting respect for diversity, fostering social inclusion, and advancing gender equality.

The event is organized as part of the regional UN project ‘Youth 4 Inclusion, Equality & Trust’, financially supported by UN Peacebuilding and coordinated by UNDP Serbia, in cooperation with UNFPA, UNESCO and UN Women.
