The project “Zen 2.0 Caravan – Young Community Leaders” aims to encourage the mobility of young people, who through their proactive actions will contribute to social progress. Through 5 forums, in 5 municipalities across the country, the Zen 2.0 Caravan led by the EQUALITY Association will foster inclusion and provide support to young people who will be involved in the process of finding strategic solutions for various socially relevant topics, which are of great importance primarily for young people, but also for all other participants in social life.
Mission
The mission of the “Zen 2.0 Caravan – Young Community Leaders” project is to create a successful model of cooperation, with the aim of initiating positive changes that will create conditions in the country, in which young people have a wide range of opportunities for continuous advancement and successful creation of their own stories.
Results
Twenty young people from 5 municipalities (Kisela Voda and the wider area of Skopje, Gostivar, Bitola, Kumanovo, Strumica) will be given the opportunity to identify various problems and encourage positive changes in their environment during this project. The positive transformation will be supported by cooperation and support from the municipalities and local authorities. Throughout the entire process, the EQUALITY Association will put the youth themselves at the center of attention, offering them mentorship, networking opportunities and training for mental and physical immunity.
As a final task, it is planned to work on specific issues from the broad scope of social life, where young people will have the opportunity to act as inspirers and initiators of change by creating strategic solutions to the challenges and issues that they will identify as the most significant. By dedicating themselves to this initiative, they will also receive opportunities to improve their personal and professional skills, which will serve them in the future for continued active participation in various areas of social life.
