- Title
Youth Work in South East Europe: Youth Transitions and Challenges in a Post Conflict Environment.
- Authors
Crownover, John
- Abstract
Youth work in the countries of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia has undergone many changes since the years of war and conflict that saw the breakup of Yugoslavia. Youth work has slowly grown into a largely positive force for social change in these countries in transition. This article outlines some of the achievements and challenges of youth work in South East Europe and how they are contributing to the rebuilding of divided societies in this post conflict phase. Some youth work specifically addresses human rights and dealing with the past, while much is focused on promoting the healthy development of young people, volunteerism and youth participation. We will look at some positive examples of youth work and some of the lessons learned by CARE International in its youth work in the region.
