Today, the Assembly of Central Bosnia Canton unanimously adopted the Youth Strategy 2022-2027. For young people in the Central Bosnia Canton, this means new programs and opportunities to improve their status. These new programs and opportunities are expected to address youth issues in employment, education, health, social security, culture, and sports. The position of young people can only be improved through collaborative efforts of all relevant institutions and stakeholders, guided by the youth policy.
The strategy emphasizes activities intended to involve young people in decision-making processes, support youth organizations, and develop the youth sector in the canton, and address housing issues faced by young people.
