What is a Young European Ambassador?

The programme Young European Ambassadors (YEA) is an initiative of the European Union, to create and develop a network for sharing skills, ideas and promote European values and opportunities among Youth. In this context their role in supporting the fight against hate speech and developing counter-narratives in line with European values and standards is fundamental in the process of advancing equality and diversity in the Western Balkan and Eastern Partnership regions.

As part of the Horizontal Facility III programme, the work with the YEAs from the Western Balkans focuses on developing counter-narratives to hate speech. Supporting their role in combating hate speech is essential for promoting equality and diversity in line with European values and standards.
