As part of the project "Together for Youth", which is implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the National Youth Council of Serbia – NYCS issued a public call for the selection of five (5) local self-governmental units that would develop and use a model of structured dialogue with young people. The NYCS calls on local self- governments (municipalities/cities) to apply. They will be supported by the NYCS to implement pilot projects on the local structured dialogue with the aim of increasing responsible care for young people, youth participation in decision-making and improving the quality of life of young people in local communities.

The National Youth Council of Serbia will provide training to 5 selected local self-governments in the period from September 21 to 23.  The training will be organized for a structured dialogue, so that future local coordinators could, at the very beginning, familiarize themselves with the methodology, the use of the structured dialogue at the local level and the possibilities for customizing such a model in their community. However, the training will also aim to enable them to process all the information they receive at the local level from young people and decision-makers, as well as to formulate them into a concrete public policy, the implementation of which they will advocate in the municipality/city.

To apply, fill in the application form and send it by e-mail to konkurs@koms.rs, with the words   "Application for the development of a structured dialogue by self-governmental units". The application deadline is September 2, 2018.

For more information, please send an e-mail to Boban Stojanovic  boban.stojanovic@koms.rs
