The participants were from Albania (host), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey.

During each training day, the youngsters were able to share their ideas that were related to the project theme as well as many of them related to their future development as regards the better development of democracy in each country.
