Our Future Network
 Our Future Network (OFN) is a challenging and exciting exchange program and network of young people from Serbia, Kosovo and The Netherlands. OFN wishes to improve relations between Serbs and Albanians through open and (self) critical dialogue regarding the past and the future. OFN spreads knowledge of the European integration process and the political situation in Kosovo and Serbia, and stimulates more active involvement of youth regarding these issues within their own societies.
