This 2I aims to inform and mobilize citizens regarding the Government measure for establishing a center for family care leave in the country.
Within the initiative a short survey will be conducted in order to determine how much the affected target group (people with disabilities and their families) is familiar with this measure. This will be followed by informative meetings with the target group, and interactive socializing with people with disabilities will also be organized.
In order for the initiative to reach more people, especially people from the target group, a short video will be recorded which will be distributed through social networks.

This 2I will introduce the benefits for young people by having the European Youth Card (EYC). Within the initiative, promotional mural will be created in order to promote the European Youth Card, as well as promotional brochures, pamphlets. Young people interested in the topic, will have chance to gather and discuss in person about the benefits of EYC.

Goal of this 2I is to inform the community about the responsibility of municipalities to open youth centers in the first 5 years of implementation of the law for youth participation and youth policies, and to inform about the opportunities that these centers will bring for youth.
As this measure is targeting mainly young people, the initiative will conduct a social media campaign on Tik Tok and Instagram with youth aged 14 to 18, and will also organize a panel discussion with municipality representatives, parents and young people. This will provide an opportunity for young people to share what kind of program they want to see in the youth centers. Their ideas and vision will be recorder in short animation video and shared with relevant officials, as well as with the general public via social media.

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.
