YEA participate in debate on women empowerment in Belgrade
The hybrid EU4Balkans mini festival took place in Belgrade at the end of March. The event was part of the cooperation activities organised by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Regional and Urban Policy and the organisers of the Balkan Trafik festival. Through debate, cultural events, and meetings with Serbia’s Deputy Minister of Culture and Media, the event covered a range of important issues such as youth employment, inclusion and the development of rural areas in the Western Balkans.
The debate included the Young European Ambassadors (YEAs) and focused on women’s empowerment with participants emphasising that empowering women entails giving them the means and skills to thrive, to be independent and to change society.
EU4Balkans events aim to raise visibility on interregional cooperation as part of the IPA instrument for Pre-accession Assistance and the positive impact of EU Enlargement Policies.
