The project aims at enhancing the involvement and impact of the civil society in contributing to a more resilient and cohesive society, while encouraging youth participation in social and public life to reduce the risks of young people being attracted to violent extremism, by supporting CSOs to implement innovative approaches towards empowering young people with reduced opportunities to contribute, through the medium of sports, to processes that encourage social cohesion and to lead social initiatives (such as the establishment of Social Action Youth/Sports Hubs) which prevent VE and radicalisation in sensitive municipalities in North Macedonia; enhancing collaboration with (and among) local authorities and build trust and dialogue with them; and enabling CSOs to have a more active role in policy-making and dialogue through capacity-building and advocacy at national and EU levels.
