GIZ, in partnership with Internews and DW Akademie, proudly announces the call for applications for the "EmpowerMedia Program," aimed at bolstering media freedom and pluralism in the Western Balkans. Funded by the European Union and the German Government, this initiative invites innovative media organizations from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia to apply for grants to develop new media business ideas. Targeting forward-thinking media enterprises ready to explore pioneering business models and embrace digital integration, the program seeks to enhance the economic viability and independence of the media sector. Through supporting creative collaborations and digital innovations, "EmpowerMedia" aims to foster sustainable growth and a more diverse media landscape in the Western Balkans, ensuring the media's critical role in society is both preserved and strengthened.
Six pairs of young vloggers went on a road trip to uncover the answer. They ventured to captivating destinations in the Western Balkans and engaged with the local entrepreneurs supported by the EU, sharing their experiences and highlighting the existing opportunities in the region on their social media.
We believe the young generations are the real driver for change.
That is why the Young European Ambassadors in the Western Balkans attend training events, courses, seminars and workshops that provide them with all the tools they need to become great influencers in their community and inspire a positive social change for the future.
