The Regional Fireside Talks with High-Level Officials provide a platform for youth from the Western Balkans to engage directly with high-ranking government officials in meaningful dialogue. Designed to foster transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance, these talks empower young people to share their ideas, concerns, and solutions in a youth-friendly setting. Fostering dialogue contributes to sustainable practice of youth engagement through dynamic fireside talk that empowers young people to have a meaningful voice in shaping policies and practices that affect their lives.

The first Fireside Talk was held in Tirana during the presentation of the Balkan Barometer, where young people had the opportunity to hear data on youth for the first time, share their views, and engage in discussions with RCC Secretary General Majlinda Bregu and Head of the European Union Delegation to Albania Silvio Gonzato.
