Short history The Kosovo Youth Network (KYN) is an independent, multi ethnic body representing 100 youth centers and youth organizations throughout Kosovo. Its mission is to develop the capacity of youth to address their needs and to become effective actors for a free, open, democratic civil society in Kosovo. The KYN was set up in 2001 as part of the Youth Post Conflict Participation Program, implemented by the International Rescue Committee and funded by UNDP. Its foundations were laid during the Kosovo Youth Congress held in June 2001, and its structure and goals were refined during a series of meetings of youth from all over Kosovo during the autumn and winter of the same year.
