We Are The Bridge Between Balkan Communities
BtB aims and has worked to involve Kosovar youth in activities related to social
entrepreneurship, environmental protection, peacebuilding and interethnic communication as an
opportunity for self- career development and community benefits, as well as the exchange of
knowledge and practices with young people from European countries and especially with the
countries of South-Eastern Europe / Balkans.
We do things differently
Building the Balkans works closely with young people through participatory and creative learning approaches. Our activities combine non-formal education, practical experiences, and international cooperation to help young people develop skills, confidence, and new opportunities.
Through workshops, training programs, youth exchanges, and community initiatives, we encourage young people to explore social entrepreneurship, sustainability, inclusion, and intercultural dialogue. By supporting youth-led ideas and collaboration, we aim to inspire positive change in communities across Kosovo and the wider Balkan region.
Youth Empowerment & Non-Formal Education
We empower young people through non-formal education, training programmes, and international exchanges that strengthen their skills, confidence, and active participation in society.
Inclusion & Equal Opportunities
We promote inclusive youth work and support the participation of young people with different abilities and fewer opportunities. Through educational, sport, and community activities we aim to create spaces where all young people can learn, contribute, and develop their potential.
Social Entrepreneurship & Employability
We support young people in developing entrepreneurial ideas, practical skills, and creative initiatives that improve employability and encourage innovative solutions to social challenges.
Sustainability
We promote environmental awareness and sustainable practices through youth initiatives, community engagement, and educational activities that encourage responsible use of natural resources.
Intercultural Dialogue & Cooperation
We foster cooperation and understanding among young people from different communities in Kosovo and the Balkans, encouraging dialogue, diversity, and peaceful collaboration.
