Youth Movements for Equality, Safety, and a Greener Future
What do we want to do?
The project will invest in local, youth and child-led groups across Kosovo from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including children with disabilities, to provide them with skills, networks, and resources to lead impactful campaigns on issues that matter the most to them. This approach builds on the momentum of the child-led campaign #KryeqytetiPaMakina (Capital Without Cars), where children where shaped public discourse on environmental issues and secured the partnership of municipal authorities (including the Mayor) for greener public spaces in Prishtina.
