AIM OF THE EVENT:
This workshop will focus on promoting and developing sport for young people in
schools and communities in Kosovo. Through the exchange of views and
knowledge with university authorities and experts in other countries, it aims to find
an overall picture and direction of measures for sport promotion for youth in
Kosovo. It will build on the P2P event on "Youth and Sports Activities" organised
in 2010, and come up with a set of conclusions/recommendations which could be
again subject for discussion and follow-up at another similar P2P event which
could take place in 2016.
The event is open for the participation of representatives from Kosovo of Sports
Associations and Civil Society organizations active in the area of youth, sports and
inclusion. Members of Municipal Education/Youth Offices and Youth Action
Councils will be also invited.
The event will be complemented by a series of sport activities to which all
workshop participants are invited to participate as athletes and spectators.
