Given the complex and sensitive political situation, as well as recent unrest in the relation between Kosovo and Serbia, there is a pressing need for regional cooperation and fostering positive dialogue. Having that in mind, we invite you to apply for the Youth Exchange and Storytelling Workshops, which will be held in Prizren from the 7th until the 13th of August 2023.

In light of these events, the Youth Exchange and Storytelling Workshop emerges as a significant opportunity for young individuals from Kosovo and Serbia to gather, exchange ideas, and contribute to building bridges of understanding. Through intercultural dialogue and shared experiences, this program aims to create a space where participants can work together towards reconciliation.

Participants (aged 18 - 30 years old) will have the opportunity to engage in intercultural dialogue and mobility, with a specific focus on dealing with the past. Through the workshop participants will develop storytelling skills and utilize this technique to share and co-create stories.  In addition to the other aspects mentioned above, participants will have the opportunity to take part in events organized by the Dokufest film festival.   

Please note that only selected applicants will be notified of their acceptance. All travel expenses, accommodation, and meals during the Youth Exchange will be covered by the organizers.

Application deadline: 01 August 2023
