The training was intended for youth workers from Serbia who want to, or already are working on advancement of social rights of young people facing poverty and social exclusion.
Participants learned about social rights, local partnerships development between institutions/organizations for the purpose of helping socially endangered youth, as well as mechanisms and approaches while working with this youth population. Moreover, participants developed pilot projects that will be used to transfer theoretical know-how into practice.

Association “People’s Parliament”, along with 13 other NGO’s from Leskovac submitted during October 2010 an initiative for amendments of City Statute in regard to reduction of percentage of registered voters needed for running of people’s (civil) initiatives. The initiative proposed reduction from current 25% of registered voters to only 5%.

City Council of Leskovac positively responded to our initiative during December 2010 and official adoption of the amendments by the City Parliament is expected.

More information on this initiative can be found on www.narodnainicijativa.rs (Serbian only).

Association “People’s Parliament” implemented from 15th to 21st February 2010, an international training called “Cross-border cooperation on youth entrepreneurship development and promotion”.

This training was organized within “Youth in Action” Programme and gathered 36 participants, youth workers, from 6 countries: Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania.

Cross-border cooperation on youth entrepreneurship development and promotion is international training which will gather youth workers active in the field of youth self-employment. This 5-day training (excluding travel days) is going to be organized in Novi Sad, Serbia, from 15th – 21st January 2010.

We are going to organize this training because we feel that one of positive solutions to youth unemployment problem is entrepreneurship education of youngsters and that self-employment needs to be more seriously considered by youngsters, as well as those providing youth with services in area of self-employment support, as viable income-generation option and as an alternative to job seeking.
