ERA Annual Plan of Activities as Contact Point for Kosovo:

• Coaching (March - November 2011): Is your organization looking for support for your youth activities? Are you interested in providing international and multicultural opportunities for your youth? Are you looking for more information about Youth in Action, and support to access the program? Do you need help in application writing, and/or partner finding? If you answered yes, then ERA can support you and your organization through our Coaching program. Support can provided through email, telephone, and meetings both at ERA’s center in Peja and/ or visits to your organization when necessary. Please contact Ellen Frank at or by telephone at +377 044 337 601 to be added to the distribution list, or to arrange coaching specifically for your organization.
