We Dare to Make a Change: Aspirations of the Young Public Officials of the Western Balkans
About this learning event
The WeLead Project's Cohort 1 is concluding its WeWrite series with a dynamic event organized within the Young Bled Strategic Forum. This final gathering is strategically placed before the Western Balkans Panel, ensuring that the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas from the WeWrite policy papers are given a prominent platform. Participants are poised to engage in discussions that could reshape their reality, driven by changes they wish to see, the motivation behind their actions, the challenges they face, and the support they need to overcome these obstacles. It's an environment where persistence is not just encouraged but required, as it is the key to unlocking a new dimension of possibilities and progress.
