Within the Balkan Regional Platform for Youth Participation and Dialogue and the Regional Research on Youth Mobility, that ALDA and each LDA are promoting and implementing a research that consists of interesting data collecting mechanisms, such as: survey, focus groups and youth organisation stakeholder interviews.
LDA Kosovo organized its first Focus Group on the 29th July 2016 in the Youth Centre/ Stand Hub, in Peja, with some of our LDA Kosovo volunteers and some Italian volunteers (within the Balcanimazioni & Adventure project), talking about Youth Mobility that is in the framework of the Balkan Regional Platform for Youth Participation and Dialogue project - within the Regional Research on Youth Mobility that is still ongoing and will soon come out with its results.
The focus group was leaded by: the Delegate of LDAK, Elbert Krasniqi and Mrs. Stella Gelmini from InCo Association in Trentino, Italy - an organisation dealing with youth exchange programmes and EVS programmes.
Italian volunteers commented on the difference between Italy and the Balkans participating in the youth exchange programmes and the way they think that the quality of life in Kosovo actually looks like. Of course, the Kosovan participants stated their opinion, as well on what they think about youth mobility and its differences and similarities between other EU countries and Kosovo, and Balkans in general. Moreover, on what they think about permanently living abroad and how they could change the community they belong to with different experiences imported from other countries in the world.
