On the 9th April 2021, the Local Democracy Agency Zavidovići organized an event called "Open Local Assemblies/ My City - Youth City" as part of the activities within the project "Regional Youth Compact for Europe” which is funded by the European Union.
During this activity, young people, high school students from Zavidovići, had the opportunity to talk with the Chairman of the Municipal Council, Ms. Erna Merdić Smailhodžić, and with young councilors Mr. Haris Mujanović and Mr. Adi Mahovac, as well as with Mr. Muamer Hrvić, youth officer of Zavidovići Municipality. On this occasion, young people were introduced to the competencies, ways, instruments and mechanisms they can use in order to solve the issues and problems of young people in the community. Also, during this activity young people presented to decision makers certain problems that they face in everyday life.
The Chairperson of the Municipal Council and the councilors who took part in this activity told the young people that they could address their problems to them and that they would use every opportunity to talk about the problems of young people at the Municipal Council.
The aim of the activity "Open Local Assemblies" is to increase knowledge and understanding of institutions, institutional procedures, transparency requirements and efficient accountability practices. Also, our goal is to provide young people with the opportunity to openly and freely discuss with decision makers about their problems.
This activity is organized within “Regional Youth Compact for Europe”, a three-year project implemented by Center for Democracy Foundation and 13 partners. The project is funded by the European Union and co-funded by Balkan Trust for Democracy.
