The video can provide youth workers and young people with examples of how digital technologies can be used in the context of social movement.
The WeBalkans offers insights into technology’s potential as a driver of positive change, and that online tools (including social media platforms) may be used to transform daring ideas into realities. Th event was organized by the Young European Ambassadors (YEA) platform – a creative network of future young game changers from across the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia).
