Within the project “ZOOM” a first informational meeting of the Association of Kamenica and partners from Protecta with Youth Offices in the City of Nis and city municipalities was implemented. The meeting was attended by representatives of the city Administration for Youth and Sports, the Youth Council of the City of Nis, representatives of local funders (Help, Eneca), the economy (Agrozem Ltd and Monolith Innovation Group Ltd.). The space of the partner association Protecta was too small to accommodate all interested parties, which is why we organized this meeting in the great hall of the Youth Office of the City of Nis. Potential partners are thoroughly familiar with the implementation of the project and opportunities for cooperation. After the informative part of the meeting, a dialogue during which they discussed concrete models of cooperation with the aim of improving conditions for self-employment of young people in Nisava district followed. The dialogue will soon be resumed in order to formalize cooperation and materialize specific models support the youth by creating programs for youth employment within ZOOM.
