Empowering marginalized communities across the Western Balkans
Programmes Discover how each of our projects is building leadership, creating solutions, and defending civic spaces across the Western Balkans.
Leaders
We build leadership skills among marginalized communities, equipping them with tools, confidence, and networks to take action and shape change.
Solutions
We design practical and targeted policy solutions that unlock progress in the stalled EU integration process and advance human rights and justice.
Spaces
We protect and expand civic spaces — both online and offline — where people can act freely, safely, and collaboratively to drive democratic change.
ABOUT US
We exist to push for greater equality, dignity, and opportunity in the Balkans. Our work is centred around three key goals: building practical skills for new leaders, developing concrete solutions to move stalled parts of the European integration process and creating safe spaces where change can happen.
We focus on communities that are too often excluded from public life -LGBT+ people, Roma, youth and others whose voices remain on the margins.
Our mission is to support them in becoming visible, active and equipped to shape the societies they live in.
