Applications Open for the Balkan Youth Forum to Understand the Past and Present of the Balkans

Call for Proposals from Local NGOs/CSOs/CBOs in Timor-Leste

Deadline: 15 April 2018

Applications are now open for the Balkan Youth Forum which is a non-formal learning program for youth from diverse types of Balkan states, designed by a very young team of alumni of the Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellowship program and is funded by the Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund.

The purpose of these activities is helping participants form a more profound understanding of the past and present of the Balkans, to shape a personal opinion on the importance of cooperation and to inspire them to take action. BYF combines peer-to-peer learning, edutainment and volunteering.

It brings together 2 participants from each Balkan country for an intensive week of lectures, debates, workshops, simulations and meetings with representatives of the European Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant institutions and organizations.

At the end of the program, the participants will present their own projects for sustainable cooperation between their communities, which they will later implement in their own countries with the help of their BYF mentors.
