DRC SIGNED A NEW AGREEMENT WITH NGO SIT TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH LOCAL YOUTH

On March 1, Danish Refugee Council (DRC) signed the agreement with the Implementing Partner - Center for Counselling Social Services and Research (SIT). This is the third phase of the project on strengthening resilience to conflict, which aim is to bring together up to 60 youth from the Albanian and Serb ethnicities, including youth from other non-majority ethnicities.

A “Dialogue for Peace” project will be implemented in four multi-ethnic municipalities: Kamenicë/a, Fushë Kosova/Kosovo Polje, Mitrovicë/a South, and Mitrovica/ë North. Activities in this phase will focus on bringing youth together physically, as the situation with Covid 19 seems to be relaxed and restrictions are easing up. A variety of meetings and interactive games with youth from the aforementioned municipalities will be organized in the upcoming period.

Finally, the project will implement initiatives based on community needs. Youth will propose activities which will benefit all communities within the implementation area. The project will last for 10 months and will be the part of the project “Supporting Social Entrepreneurship and Promoting Socio-Economic Empowerment in Minority Communities in Kosovo” funded by International Development Cooperation Agency – represented by the Embassy of Sweden in Kosovo (Sida).
