Kosovo Youth Leadership Summer Camp

Sixty-four sixth through twelfth grade students representing seven regions of Kosovo came together in Ohrid, Macedonia on June 22–27, 2008 for the Leaders of Tomorrow Summer Camp organized by Civitas Kosova. The students, of Albanian, Bosnian, Turkish, and Roma backgrounds, participated in highly interactive civic education activities preparing them to be positive, responsible, and open-minded future leaders of Kosovo, willing to work together with people of differing backgrounds and points of view. The civic education approach combined We the People: Project Citizen with lessons on responsibility and authority from the Center’s Foundations of Democracy curricular program.

About

CCE LogoThe Center for Civic Education is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating an informed and thoughtful citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy. We do this primarily through our flagship programs, We the People and Project Citizen, but we also provide high-quality, inquiry-driven curricular programs that bring civic learning to life. The Center additionally equips educators with professional learning that builds confidence and capacity to teach civics with depth and relevance, unlocks students’ civic agency by creating opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and share their voices through simulated hearings and other public forums. These initiatives build a national community committed to strengthening civic understanding and participation for all and root everything in decades of research and evidence. Learn more.
