The Council of Europe Youth Department has launched the project “Citizenship and Human Rights Education with Young People in Serbia” to support the implementation of the Charter on EDC/HRE and youth organisations as providers of EDC/HRE.

Central to the project is the capacity-building of youth leaders, multipliers, and youth workers to better provide and introduce EDC/HRE in youth projects and activities, based on the Compass and the Council of Europe Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education. COMPASS is a manual that provides youth organisations, youth leaders, and young people throughout Europe with tools that could help them in their projects and activities relating to human rights and human rights education.

In this framework, the Youth Department of the Council of Europe organises the course Training for Trainers in Human Rights Education with Young People in Serbia. The course will be held from 16 to 20 October, in Serbia.

The Council of Europe Office in Belgrade was opened by the Secretary General on 16 March 2001, as a contact point for co-operation with the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which had applied for membership in the Council of Europe. The work was already underway on joint projects. It has remained in place ever since.

Serbia became the 45th member of the Council of Europe in April 2003, a development that was a natural consequence of the major political changes which took place in autumn 2000 and which allowed Serbia to claim its rightful place among the democratic states of Europe.

Through the Office in Belgrade, the Council of Europe continues to assist the country in its process of democratic reforms and its European integration. In recent years, the Office, in close co-operation with the Serbian authorities, has supported reforms of democratic institutions, the rule of law, human and minority rights, including of the Roma and the LBGTI communities, and local and regional self-government.

The Office also continues to assist with co-operation regarding economic, social, cultural, scientific, legal and administrative matters, and in the maintenance and further realisation of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
