For second consecutive year the OSCE Mission to Skopje supported the Boys Camp Young Men Leadership Project, organized by YMCA Bitola and US Peace Corps in Tajmiste.
The goal of the camp is to develop core values of social inclusion, multi-ethnic cohabitation and commitment to democratic processes. On 2 July 2013, gender experts from the OSCE Mission to Skopje led discussions on gender and diversity and how the new generation of young men could help challenge gender stereotypes and prejudices in society.
Sixty boys aged 14 to 18 from across the country participated in the camp.
