WYA Croatia announces 5th WYA Week
‘‘We are staying in Croatia’’ is the title of the 5th WYA Week conference organized by World Youth Alliance (WYA) that will be held in Zagreb from 20th to 24th of November. This conference is the main title and main part of World Youth Alliance Week (WYA Week), which happens every year in Croatia. WYA Week is designed to bring young people together in a dialogue with decision makers, academics, and other influential people from the Croatian society. For this reason, different cultural and educational events, as well as round tables and debates, were prepared. The main goal of organizing WYA Week is to include young people in the activities of their own community, to communicate their own needs, and to debate current issues in their society.
‘‘We are staying in Croatia’’ is the title and the main theme of this event because of the issue in Croatia that has been going on for few years. Young people have been leaving because they don’t believe that they have a future in the country. They don’t believe that they can find good jobs after graduation, and they feel like they don’t have the support of the Croatian decision makers in this respect.
The goal of this event is to create an environment that will foster the development of a quality dialogue and mutual respect of opinions, so that together, we can reach the best solutions.
The World Youth Alliance Croatia is a Chapter of a global organization of the World Youth Alliance, which promotes and protects the intrinsic human dignity through three main areas – education, advocacy, and culture. In Croatia, this organization has been active since 2012 and has about 70 active members between 18 and 30 years.
The full program of the event is listed below.
