The Regional School for Political Development is intended for young people from Croatia, North Macedonia, and Serbia who are interested in promoting active citizenship and the green agenda.

Through this project, young people are developing and advocating green public policies, which will be presented to public during this online event. This webinar will explore the crucial role of active citizenship in shaping inclusive, democratic societies. Participants will learn about the importance of civic responsibility, the promotion of democratic values, and the essential participation of citizens in decision-making processes.
