This autumn, RISE Balkans moves from research to action. Between October and December 2026, the partners organise the first Good Governance Clinics, the Training of Trainers for Youth Civic Drivers and the Youth Bootcamps in all 5 project countries.
The Good Governance Clinics introduce young people to 8 thematic topics:
- Lawmaking at national, local and EU level
- Good public governance
- Rule of law
- Transparency and access to information
- Integrity and anti-corruption
- Youth rights and participation
- Disinformation and fake news
- EU legal and institutional framework
The Youth Civic Drivers trained in each country will co-facilitate the Clinics alongside project experts in the second year of the project, while the Youth Bootcamps give participants hands-on experience in designing civic initiatives and policy proposals.
