OSCE Mission to Skopje
Youth
By engaging with young people nationwide in developing their capacities to influence national and local youth policies, the Mission works to respond to the real needs and priorities of youth.
To help enhance meaningful youth participation in policy dialogue and decision-making processes, the Mission supports the Agency for Youth and Sport, Municipalities, Local Youth Councils and the local branch of the Regional Youth Cooperation Office (RYCO).
The Mission works with youth activists so that they can help raise awareness among young people of the corrosive social effects of hate speech and hate crime and build resilience to radicalisation that can lead to violent extremism.
The Mission also provides training courses and capacity building activities for law enforcement to help them work better with young people and thereby increase young people's trust in the police.
