New youth office
The western Balkan states are setting up a joint youth office with the support of the Franco-German Youth Office.
The Franco-German Youth Office (DFJW), founded in 1963, is a success story. It encourages a lively dialogue between young people from Germany and France. Now there are plans for a regional youth office with the western Balkan states based on the DFJW model. At the request of the participating governments, the DFJW will be involved in an advisory capacity. The idea for the project was born in 2014 during the West Balkan Conference convened in Berlin by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
