In July 2020, during a very hard
time for the world and for our society as well, with the support of the British
Embassy in Skopje, the Institute for Leadership and Public Policy started the
implementation of the project “Always active youth even in challenging times”.
The lock-down was a hard and very
stressful period for everybody, but somehow the youth were mostly left aside
and nobody was addressing their needs. With the aim to activate the young
people both intellectually and physically we developed this project which not
will only stimulate youngster ’s intellect, but will also help them get
entertained, learn new skills, exercise from home and take good care of
themselves.
The project included activities
as:
·
Production of podcasts
·
Development of four online trainings
·
Essay competition with young people
·
Online exhibition for young artists to promote
their quarantine art
·
Online musical concert with local bands and
artists
·
Online debate and forums to discuss about youth
problems
·
Production of videos with nutrition advice
·
Production of videos with fitness workouts that
can be done at home
·
Production of videos for mental-health care
·
Conducted a research to identify the needs of
young people
·
Developed a brochure with project results and
research results
