This project, financed by IOM through UNICEF, aims to promote peace, mutual understanding, tolerance, and intercultural dialogue among youth from diverse ethnic backgrounds in Kosovo, empowering them to become active agents of social cohesion in their communities.
Through a wide range of activities, the project will equip 3,600 girls and boys aged 13–18 with skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, peacebuilding, and tolerance, while also strengthening their ability to resist hate speech and divisive narratives.
Special attention is given to the inclusion of marginalized groups, such as Roma, Ashkali, Egyptian youth, and girls, ensuring their active participation in community initiatives.
The project will support 27 youth-led initiatives that foster dialogue and mutual respect, enhance collaboration between schools, parents, Municipal Education Directorates, and civil society actors, and raise visibility on peace and tolerance through outreach campaigns and Peace Day events. By combining capacity-building activities, mentorship, and community engagement, the project contributes to building stronger, more cohesive, and inclusive communities in Kosovo.
