In April we continued with the networking events for establishing youth centres, as part of the project “(Local) Youth Participation Matters”.

The two networking events took part in Tetovo and Struga.

The networking event in Tetovo took part on April 8th 2022 in URBAN. The speakers on that event were Mr. Robert Dekker (Deputy Chief of Mission in the Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands), Mr. Bilall Kasami (Mayor of the Municipality of Tetovo), Ms. Tamara Petkovska (Project Coordinator) and Mr. Metun Muaremi (the representative from the partner organization CED)

All of the speakers shared different details about the project with a specific emphasize on their role and support regarding the project.

Furthermore, the next networking event that happened on April 15th 2022 was in Struga in Hotel Drim. The speakers on this event were Ms. Emina Rustemoska (Youth Officer in the Municipality of Struga), Ms. Tamara Petkovska (Project Coordinator) and Ms. Ana Naumoska (the representative from the partner organization AKVA). Here, as well, were discussed the project activities, the possibilities of the participants involvement within it and the way how they can contribute.

In both events, besides the formal part, there was an informal gathering among the participants where they had the opportunity to discuss more in detail their involvement of the activities and processes within the project.
