Recognizing young people as key partners for positive change and promoters of peace and reconciliation, the Mission implements a wide range of activities for and with youth. This includes continuous engagement and integration of young people and their perspectives in efforts to counter violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism, hate speech, bias-motivated incidents and hate crimes, segregation in education, as well as corruption.
Particular importance is placed on giving young people an even greater voice in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the Mission’s activities, which is carried out through the Mission’s Youth Advisory Group.
The Youth Advisory Group currently consists of over 40 dedicated young people with diverse perspectives from across BiH, and serves as the Mission’s primary instrument for the effective inclusion of youth perspectives in its work.
