Gjorgji Ristov, a Young European Ambassador (YEA) from North Macedonia, organized a public discussion in Kavadarci, his municipality, focused on the importance of Local Youth Councils. This event served as a follow-up to the visit by the German Embassy, facilitated by Europe House Skopje. The session commenced with an overview of the “LAW ON YOUTH PARTICIPATION AND YOUTH POLICIES,” aiming to inspire, guide, and connect the Kavadarci Local Youth Council (LYC) with the town’s young population. It provided an opportunity for youth to become more acquainted with LYC’s functioning and perspective.

During the second phase of the event, attendees had the chance to propose ideas beneficial to the youth. The best idea would be submitted to Kavadarci’s Council, which is set to prepare the 2024 budget by November 15th. The ultimate goal is to have this idea accepted and implemented in 2024. Europe House Skopje provided support for this event, continuing its discussion on LYC.
