We are thrilled to share that our first working group session was a resounding success!

In partnership with Organized Youth Association - OYA and the Center for Youth Education and Mediation - CYEM we gathered a remarkable group of stakeholders, eco-activists, and youth from Gostivar to embark on a crucial mission: crafting a strategic document that will outline our ecological priorities for the next five years.

The energy in the room was palpable as we engaged in vibrant discussions, exchanged valuable insights, and charted a path toward a greener future. Our stakeholders provided their expertise and ensured that our strategies aligned with existing policies and best practices. The eco-activists brought their deep understanding of environmental issues and suggested innovative solutions. And let's not forget the incredible contributions of our youth, whose fresh perspectives and passion ignited the room.

During the session, we delved into a wide range of topics, from renewable energy initiatives and waste management strategies to the preservation of our natural landscapes and the promotion of eco-education. The collective brainstorming yielded exciting ideas and actionable steps that will guide our municipality's environmental efforts.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and contributed their time, knowledge, and unwavering dedication and we expect to continue with this energy in the following working group sessions since it is through your collective wisdom that we can shape the future of Gostivar and create a sustainable haven for generations to come.

We are incredibly excited about the journey ahead and invite you to stay tuned for updates on the progress of our strategic document and the upcoming initiatives that will drive us toward a greener, more sustainable Gostivar. Together, let's make our vision a reality!
