CBM Focus Area: Youth

Kosovo has a very young population; the majority of its citizens is between the ages of 15-24 years old. This signifies the importance of youth in Kosovan society; not only do they hold the future, they also hold today. CBM is very active in the field of youth activities, aiming to create a strong basis for today’s youths to become actively engaged citizens, particularly so by putting an emphasis on civil society activities and peace building. Our projects bring youths of different ethnicities together to create understanding and friendships, train youths in various skills ranging from advocacy to employable skills, educate and inform youths in creative ways about important issues such as health and human rights, and stimulate engagement with society and culture in Mitrovica. Furthermore, we support initiatives from Mitrovica youths  hemselves.
