Youth Association - Young Active Gracanica / Udruzenje mladih - Mlada aktivna Gračanica (MAG), established in 2014, empowers Kosovo's youth through non-formal education, activism, volunteerism, and human rights education. It aims to bolster the capacities of young people in Kosovo Serb communities, enabling them to actively contribute to community development. Additionally, MAG strives to foster inter-community dialogue and cooperation among young people of all ethnicities across Kosovo. Their areas of advocacy encompass peace-building, cultural activism, and employment-boosting initiatives.
