Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS PRISTINA FY21 01
The BRIDGE Program: English Language for Cross Cultural Communication is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity offered through the U.S. Mission to Kosovo (U.S. Embassy in Pristina). It funds one organization to design and deliver an after-school program that combines English language instruction with enrichment activities for ethnically diverse youth ages 14 to 18 across six municipalities in Kosovo. The program title, BRIDGE (Building Respect, Inclusion, Diversity, and Good will through English), reflects its central purpose: using English learning as a practical and neutral space where young people from majority and minority communities can interact, communicate, and build relationships that reduce linguistic and ethnic divisions.
The program model is based on and extends the Access English Language Microscholarship Program, aiming to bring together roughly 30 to 40 students per site into shared classroom settings. The core educational focus is improved English proficiency and cross-cultural communication, but the broader civic goal is to cultivate tolerance and mutual understanding among participants. By learning together and collaborating in structured activities, students are expected to strengthen interpersonal communication, develop respect for diversity, and contribute over time to a more inclusive society. The opportunity frames participants as future leaders who can help reinforce a shared Kosovo identity within a multicultural, multiethnic, and religiously diverse environment.
Beyond language learning, BRIDGE is also intended to build practical, marketable skills connected to employability and community development. In addition to regular after-school English classes, the selected implementing organization is expected to integrate career development, leadership components, and exposure to development opportunities available to youth. The program encourages add-on modules tailored to local economic contexts, with examples such as English for Business, English for Tourism in areas with tourism potential, STEAM-focused courses (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), and other relevant skill-building ideas that support students in contributing to local community and economic development.
