The Regional Youth Compact for Europe Internship programme offers one-month internship for Balkan youth in one of the offices of the project partners for the period of December 2019- April 2020. 

The internship program aims to provide a framework for young people in the region to gain firsthand experience about the functioning of CSOs and the work they do but also to assist in finding out and establishing innovative, youth friendly, forms and content of communication, leading to increased youth participation in civil initiatives, policy design and structured dialogue.

This project is funded by the European Union and the Balkan Trust for Democracy, a project of the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
