International project competition ‘Youth and Labor in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Serbia’

‘Swiss Labour Assistance’ and ‘Eye of Vision’ take pleasure in arranging an international project competition on youth and labor. All youth organizations which are eager to contribute to social peace in their countries or the region and have an innovative, encouraging idea to promote labor and trade union concerns with a small project are kindly invited to enter the contest. Eligibility, evaluation and award: The competition is open to all trade union youth sections and other legally registered youth organizations in Serbia, Kosovo and Bosnia- Herzegovina. Swiss Labour Assistance and Eye of Vision will select from each country maximum five project ideas (such
as campaigns, events, platforms, trainings, studies, etc.) tackling one or more of the below mentioned themes. The final project proposals will be presented in an international conference where the participating youth organizations will evaluate and award the best project of each
country. The winners will be awarded a grant of up to € 5000 to implement the project. Salaries and infrastructure expenses will not be supported.

Themes: Labor market, employment promotion, youth employment, employability and vocational guidance, trade unions and social dialogue, decent work, safety and health at work, working conditions, equality and discrimination (displaced persons, minorities, women, disabled persons),
social security, informal economy, labor migration.
