WESTERN BALKANS – The RISE project selected 129 young entrepreneurs gathered in 47 teams coming from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia to develop their social business ideas. Through a series of workshops, mobility programs and financial support, young people will have a chance to learn, grow, develop their businesses and at the same time help solve problems of their local communities.

The six Local Incubators based in the Western Balkans are looking for young people from 18 to 35 years old from the region in a group of a minimum of two persons who are motivated to learn about social entrepreneurship and be involved in a regional program.

The Regional Cross-Border Volunteer Program ROUTE WB6 has been presented in Podgorica, Montenegro on Tuesday, 8 June 2021. The program represents a unique opportunity for the Western Balkan youth to volunteer across the region. Approximately 400 young people from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia will have the opportunity to volunteer in the region, but also to learn more about the concept of ethical volunteering and how to improve volunteer policies and legislation.
