Mayor Idrizi expressed great interest in the project and project activities.

Through various skills building, volunteering, and training activities, the project will provide young people with the necessary skills to effectively design and implement youth-led community development projects. At least 3,000 young people will benefit from organizational and communication skills training (focusing on leadership, creativity, communication, and teamwork), project development training (focusing on community mobilization, subproject preparation, management, and implementation), and participation monitoring training. Through these training, the project seeks to provide young people not only with organizational, communication, and technical skills but also with essential ones that potential employers will especially value.
