Guided by two of WYA\u2019s international experts, the training will strengthen the role of young people in shaping civic life and advancing democratic values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative is designed to promote active citizenship and the core values of the European Union, including human dignity, freedom, solidarity, tolerance, and non-discrimination. By placing education at the center, it creates opportunities for youth to deepen their understanding of EU values, foster intercultural dialogue, and build meaningful connections that transcend borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through interactive training and collaborative exchanges, participants will explore themes of citizenship, inclusion, and solidarity, while also contributing to a stronger youth dimension in EU\u2013Western Balkan relations. The program aims to equip young leaders with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make a lasting impact in their communities and in building a more cohesive Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program is part of WYA\u2019s broader commitment to empower youth as active citizens and is supported by key partners across Europe and the Western Balkans. It is implemented within the \u02ddEmpowering Human Dignity of EU &amp; WB youth\u02dd project, funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. The program is also made possible through the collaboration of key partners across Europe:  Bosnian Representative Association for Valuable Opportunities from Bosnia &amp; Herzegovina, Alianza Mundial de la Juventud Espa\u00f1a from Spain, K\u00ebshilli i Veprimit Rinor \u2013 Prizren from Kosovo, EPOKA University from Albania and Svjetski savez mladih Jugoisto\u010dna Europa (SSM JIE) from Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"92\" data-id=\"1721\" src=\"https:\/\/ssm-jie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Eu-logo-with-statement-2-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ssm-jie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Eu-logo-with-statement-2-6.jpg 615w, https:\/\/ssm-jie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Eu-logo-with-statement-2-6-300x45.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ssm-jie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Eu-logo-with-statement-2-6-18x3.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nadovezuju\u0107i se na uspjeh prethodnih Certified Training Programa, koji su educirali mlade lidere i osna\u017eili ih vje\u0161tinama potrebnima za aktivno gra\u0111anstvo, World Youth Alliance pokre\u0107e novu inicijativu: Promicanje vrijednosti EU-a i sudjelovanja mladih na Zapadnom Balkanu.
