Project Overview
“Green Neighbors” unites Albanian and Serbian youth around shared environmental goals to strengthen coexistence and civic responsibility in Mitrovica. Through joint clean-up actions, creative campaigns, and the creation of shared Green Corners, the project transforms divided communities into cooperative and sustainable ones.
At least 60 youth (15–29 years old)—with 50% young women—will engage in practical, inclusive actions that combine ecology, art, and dialogue.
