European Academy: fostering peace and integration through youth engagement

Regional Youth Dialogue for Europe - RYDE

Through the Youth Fund of the Regional Youth Dialogue for Europe, We are supporting regional projects that will contribute to the improvement of youth activism, participation and policy making skills at the local and national level. We are increasing the political participation of women, empowering young people for changes in the community, for dialogue, fostering peace and integration, advocating for a green future and the Youth Guarantees. 

Regional Youth Dialogue for Europe - RYDE is funded by European Union.

Organization: AIIS - Albanian Institute for International Studies (Instituti i Studimeve Nderkombetare), Albania. Associate partner: European Movement Serbia.

Project: European Academy: fostering peace and integration through youth engagement.

The overall objective of this project is to increase the capacities and the engagement of young people from Albania and Serbia in shaping policies and public narratives that bring their countries and the region closer to the European Union. This objective has been chosen through the assessment of the current state of affairs which has seen a rising level of hostility and lack of cooperation, stagnation of the process of EU integration.
