Applications are now open for the 5th International EYC Educo Camp!
The camp will bring together 35 young people from Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Serbia. It will be organised from 12 to 14 August in Mojkovac (Hotel & Resort Gacka). This event is intended for young people aged 18 to 25 who wish to enhance their knowledge and skills through a series of workshops, panel discussions, debates, lectures by experienced professionals, and numerous outdoor activities while spending two days connecting and socialising with their peers.
What Awaits Participants at the Camp?
On the first day, a panel titled “On the Road to Europe: Where Are Young People in Decision-Making Processes?” will be held, featuring representatives from the Ministry of Sports and Youth, regional and international organisations, as well as youth activists. Over the course of two days, through a rich and interactive programme, participants will have the opportunity to acquire knowledge and develop practical skills in the areas of soft skills, financial literacy, teamwork, mental health, educational mobility, gender equality, media literacy, and participation in decision-making processes. There will also be outdoor activities, including an escape room, scouting challenges, sports, social games, and evening gatherings. The camp will conclude with a formal certificate ceremony.
