YouthBank project
The Foundation has initiated five operational “YouthBank”s in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia. These were based on the experience from Northern Ireland of the operation of YouthBanks, involving catholic and protestant young people working together to identify need, promote philanthropy, and take decisions to assist local youth activity. The YouthBank project revolves around community relations, the exploration of identity, and the development of understanding, trust and respect, as well as issues around conflict resolution.
The Community Foundation for Northern Ireland built in exchange visits bringing young people from the Balkans to Northern Ireland and vice versa.
Areas of funding covered by Community Foundation include among others, the Ex-prisoners issues; Youth Development; Social Justice; Women’s Groups; Human Rights; and Victims of Violence.
