The Local Youth Advisory Group (LYAG) of the Municipality of Centar, Macedonia held the first meeting on 30 May 2016 in ALDA Skopje office. The Local Youth Advisory Group is composed of young activists, representatives of youth organisations and members of the student plenum. The group represents a channel between young people living in the Municipality of Centar and the Municipality.
The role of the LYAG is to ensure that the needs of the Young people of the Municipality of Centar correspond to the outcomes of the project by providing advisory input to the project implementation.
For its first meeting the LYAG was introduced to the activities of the Balkan Regional Platform for Youth Participation and Dialogue. The young group’s input offered a relevant incentive regarding youth issues on local level as well as perspectives and ways to overcome them.
The meeting resulted in some excellent discussions and actions to move forward the planning of the next stage of the project.
