During this week, together with Organized Youth Association - OYA and the Center for Youth Education and Mediation- CYEM, we had the privilege of bringing together a diverse group of participants, including passionate eco-activists, representatives from our municipality, other important institutions, and the vibrant youth of Gostivar.

This focus group was a pivotal part of our ongoing research efforts to create a comprehensive strategic document that will outline the ecological priorities of Gostivar Municipality.

Our eco-activists brought invaluable insights and experiences to the table, shedding light on pressing environmental issues and suggesting practical solutions for a better tomorrow.

The representatives from the municipality and other institutions provided valuable perspectives and expertise, ensuring that our strategies aligned with existing policies and initiatives.

We are now analyzing the valuable insights gathered during the focus group and will incorporate them into the strategic document, which will serve as a roadmap for our municipality's environmental initiatives.

We are more motivated than ever to take immediate action and implement meaningful changes that will have a positive impact on the environment and the lives of our citizens.
