The conference “Points for Development: Regional Cooperation and Youth Empowerment through Sport,” organised by RYCO in Skopje, highlighted the transformative potential of sport in empowering youth and fostering regional collaboration. Panel discussions featured success stories showcasing how innovative sports programmes can bridge cultural divides, promote leadership, and contribute to community-building efforts across the Balkans.
The shared experiences underscored the unifying power of sport, emphasising not only competition but also mutual understanding and teamwork.
These initiatives demonstrate how innovation in sport—ranging from legislative reforms and educational programmes to regional partnerships—plays a critical role in driving sustainable development, nurturing talent, and promoting inclusive growth. By prioritising strong community connections and value-driven programmes, Kosovo* serves as a prime example of how strategic investment in sport can deliver significant societal benefits.
