News / Third generation of Young European Ambassadors from the Western Balkans join the network
60 new leaders, activists and young voices from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia joined the Young European Ambassadors Network. The Official Launch of the 3rd generation of the Young European Ambassadors event was organised on 21 October in the 2022 European Youth Capital– Tirana, Albania, while all the regional partners and media were be able to follow the event with open-access on webalkans.eu, as well as WeBalkans and DG NEAR Facebook live.
The candidates were selected by Representatives of the European Commission, the WeBalkans team, and the Western Balkans Expert Jury made up of prominent activists, journalists, musicians, educators from the region. Over 36,000 votes were cast from all over the region, showing that young people in the Western Balkans are eager, ready and willing to use the opportunities offered by the European Union and share them with their peers wherever they are.
The 60 winners will join the network of already 120 active YEAs who were selected in 2020 and 2021, thus making a total of 180 young people in the network who will take part in local and regional activism initiatives, EU programmes and projects, conferences, cultural events, and study trips in order to expand their skills and sphere of influence.
The names of selected YEAs will be published soon on the webalkans.eu
