SECTION 2: RATIONALE The debates will focus on Youth issues represented in the Stabilisation and Accession Agreement, and the EU Partnership with BiH (both documents are available on http://www.dei.gov.ba ). 1. Please propose a choice of a town and two specific Youth related themes (from the SAA and EU Partnership) on which the applicant would like to base the debate*.
*Based on proposals, EUSR EU Outreach Programme will confirm one of the two proposed themes per successful applicant

Town: Brcko District BiH Theme 1: BiH Youth employment strategies in SSA and EU Partnership Theme 2: Improving efficiency of employment programs for youth in BiH

2. The debate would focus on a particular aspect/critical issue related to the above themes. Applicants should identify and propose specific aspects of both the above themes. Crossthematic proposals are welcome. Applicants should be specific in their answer. Aspects of theme 1: In EU Partnership there is a charter on Employment and social policies in article about European standards aiming to further develop policies of social inclusion and protection. Debate should focus on best examples from EU policies and responsibilities of BiH towards achieving this aim by investing in new creative ideas and development of strategies and policies that will include mechanisms of social dialog. Aspects of theme 2: Bosnia and Herzegovina has on June 16th 2008 in Luxembourg signed the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with the European Union. By this act, it has done the biggest step towards the membership in the biggest national creation which gathers developed countries of the European continent. By signing the Stabilization and Association Agreement, Bosnia and Herzegovina steps into the first contracted relation with the European Union. The task which Bosnia and Herzegovina overtook by signing the contract is to implement the agreed assignments from the Agreement and to continue with its activities and fulfilling the criteria for full membership. After signing the Agreement, the next step is attaining the status of the country candidate for membership in the European Union. Debate in Brcko District will focus on articles 99 and 100 in SAA where BiH authorities agreed to work on Social cooperation and Education and training.

By inviting relevant stake holders from BiH level discussion will give focus on inefficiency of BiH governments employment programs and low level of youth involvement on those programs. Those are the results of Research on youth in BiH conducted by GTZ and Commission for coordination of youth issues. Since more than 60% of unemployed are youth with secondary school debate will also focus on education system that is incompatible with labor market and economy demand. Questions of quality of government employment programs and low participation of youth in those programs (about 1%) will also be discussed. Debate will seek for creative and innovative employment proposals/strategies/activities from youth representatives that can become part of BiH employment strategies or BiH youth policy trying to establish balance amongst youth proposals and BiH government obligations towards SAA and other EU integration processes.
