Public Call for Young People – Youth! Wake Up!

The Institute for Youth Development KULT is issuing a Public call for submitting proposals for local civil initiatives (LCIs), exclusively for young individuals active in youth organisations and organisations dealing with youth issues, registered in accordance with the Youth Law of FBiH, the Law on Youth Organising in RS, or the Youth Law of Br?ko District.  

Details are provided below. 

LCI is a citizen-led activity intended to improve the local community and the society. Civil activities can be led by individuals or groups of citizens and their goal is to draw attention to concrete issues and solve the problems in their community. 

The Institute for Youth Development KULT supported around 13 500 youth in BiH and the region in their initiatives for improving the position of youth in the society. Over the last 5 years, the Institute awarded more than BAM 2,5 in grants to non-governmental organizations. This is a testament to social consciousness and the citizens’ willingness, and the willingness of youth in particular, to affect positive changes in their communities.
