Participants in the 2-day sessions discussed topics focusing on the importance of dialogue in enhancing diversity, on boosting citizenship and youth participation, on the role of youth in local development, on means of creating non-traditional income-generating opportunities, on reactivating the role of culture in change, on building individuals and society and on youth’s vision to develop the higher education system.
