The OSCE Mission to Moldova held a training event for youth from both banks of the Dniester River between 26 and 28 May 2017 aimed at enhancing youth participation in civic life.

The event gathered 39 students and teachers from across Moldova, including from the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia, and was held in Vadul-lui-Vodă – a town by the river.

During the training event, the students were encouraged to consider how they can contribute to their local communities by getting involved in volunteering activities and social initiatives. The students learnt about effective leadership and advocacy and analysed the principles of tolerance, political pluralism and gender equality.
