This document outlines a youth design center initiative in Kosovo that aims to support young people ages 16-29 with innovative ideas to create social good. It notes that 73% of Kosovo's population is under 25, and 48% feel disconnected from decision-making. The design center will provide mentoring, workspace, equipment and small grants to help youth implement their ideas in areas like virtual city modeling, cultural identity art, and technologies to improve services like birth registration. It invites people to get involved by mentoring, providing feedback, and engaging youth participation.
