The Progressive Leadership Program builds on previous similar programs of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES), with tailored curricula that include two intensive and interactive workshops combining theoretical presentations and practical skills for representatives of youth organizations of progressive political parties and civil society activists from eight countries in the region: Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Slovenia and Croatia. The 2022 Progressive Leadership Program focused on the theme “Regional Cooperation for Peace and Security.”
Around 25 participants, including participants from the Qemal Stafa Foundation, had the opportunity to attend lectures and discuss political issues related to security in Europe and the Western Balkans region. The second training session will take place in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina on September 22-26 and the training will be accompanied by a study visit to Vienna, Austria on November 22-25, 2022.
