We dedicated the year behind us to additional capacity building, new partnerships and promotion of our ideas to the general public, preparing for serious undertakings from 2023. However, this did not prevent us from realizing numerous activities, remaining recognized for our dedication and field work.
Young activists Katarina Eger and Veljko Avramović continue to spread ecological ideas among young people, this time discussing green policies with high school students of VIII Belgrade Gymnasium, from the Department specialized in biology and chemistry. Dynamic workshop was realized as part of the project “Environmental Mobility By Raising Awareness on Changing our Earth – EMBRACE” whose coordinator is the USB association from Greece, and its aim was to bring the concepts of ecology and sustainable development closer to young people.
There is another good news for the end of 2022 – at its last annual meeting, the Programming Committee on Youth included the “Voice of Youth is the Voice of the Future” project on the list of international activities approved by the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.
Veljko Avramović represents Development Center for Youth at the first international meeting aimed at networking and joint development of project ideas, organized by our long-term partner, the United Societies of Balkans (USB) in Thessaloniki from December 6 to 10.
With the support of the European Commission, USB gathered almost 20 European organizations dealing with various fields within the EU program, all with the aim of establishing and intensifying cooperation, exchanging project ideas and preparing for their joint submission in 2023.
Young trade union members are not just a number in their general statistics – they are a driving force that can influence the needs and priorities of young people through their actions, affecting the entire society.
