This publication is not only an outcome of one project, but it is also an amazing intellectual product of the number of young activists who diligently worked together to promote their ideas and hard work.
Modern society faces various challenges and, as a result, it is constantly changing. To ensure a successful fight with the changes, we need to analyze and work on them. The youth is best in initiating those discussions, and they must express their perceptions on society and fast life evolution. With their help, the debates can produce amazing results. We need to think and talk about resolving various issues in society, but firstly, we must read what youth is thinking about.
Below, you can find a couple of quotes about participants’ experiences during the study :
‘For me, CPLA was such a unique project. Having a chance to work on regional networking and cooperation, it also gave us a time to create opinion pieces and share our voices. I will highly recommend applying for the project to my peers.” – Ivan Durgutov (NMK)
”Surrounded with the right people, at the right time, doing together the things we know the best for one simple purpose – to raise a global awareness for some hot topics, brought me the greatest experience of youth work so far. Because, we will either find a way, or make a new one.” – Dzenan Rizvanovic (NMK)
”Participating in CPLA program helped me develop new understandings and views of numerous subjects, and during these three modules I heard many inspiring and motivating stories. Also, I met wonderful and determined people who I’m sure will make a huge impact in the world” – Maja Mijović (MNE)
”CPLA is one amazing story run by empowered young people who seek to promote and inspire youth activism in the WB region. I enjoyed working with all trainers and developing inspiring pieces that shed a light on the important topics together with my colleagues in the region. CPLA brought me new experiences, great skills, a wider network, and tons of memories.” – Mina Mededovic (MNE)
The CPLA project is something I would recommend to all young people who have the desire to present their ideas and talk about things that are important to them. This program gave me the opportunity to point out the problems in my community and to influence it. By raising awareness of the need of developing empathy. Support we have received during the project gives us additional motivation to continue our activism both locally and regionally.” – Mersiha Comor (B&H)
