Call for CSOs Focused on Youth Work to Participate in Two-Day Advocacy Training

The Institute for Youth Development KULT, within the initiative Western Balkan Civil Society Organizations for Youth Employment – WeB4YES, is inviting civil society organizations dedicated to youth work to take part in a two-day training on advocacy.

The training is a part of a larger program for supporting CSOs and building their capacities for active participation in the process of developing and changing public policies, especially ones aimed at improving youth employment rates. The next step will be issuing a call for funding organisations implementing projects focused on public advocacy and improving public policies.

The goal of the training is to build CSO capacities for implementing public advocacy activities aimed at employing youth and encouraging entrepreneurship, by providing them with the basic technical knowledge and skills related to advocacy and creating public policies.
