This initiative entails preparing a strategy for establishing a Youth Center in Veles. The strategy will be prepared in a participative process ensuring inclusion of most relevant stakeholders as well as marginalized and vulnerable groups. By utilizing the “learning by doing” approach, the local authorities (responsible to establish the Youth Center) will visit the existing Youth Center in Kumanovo to be exposed to a highly functional practice. Taking into consideration that Veles adopted the Strategy for Smart City (first ever in the country), the creation of a Youth Center would directly contribute to the implementation of the Smart City Strategy and put the needs of the young population at the core of the development efforts undertaken by Veles municipality.
