“The future is youth”, people say. Thus, a better future would be really distant without fostering youth’s vision, ideas and inspiration.

The civil association “Youth can” is implementing a project “Youth in Local Action” within the Balkan regional platform for youth participation and dialogue, supported through the Youth Fund Support Programme. The project offers 12 youngsters from the Municipality of Centar in Skopje the opportunity to develop their skills and to make changes in their local community through active participation.

Every participant gets the chance to go through three modules:

-          Module 1: 19-20 November, two-day training for influencing the local community and detecting local problems;

-          Module 2: 26-27 November, two-day training for team work and initiative planning;

-          Module 3: December-January, implementation of local initiatives in the territory of Municipality of Centar.

On 19^th and 20^th November, the first module was realized. The participants had the chance to work on their personal and professional development, but also to contribute towards positive changes in the society.

The project “Youth in Local Action” is funded through the Youth Fund Support programme within the Balkan Regional Platform for Youth Participation and Dialogue, supported by the European Union.
