Public Space Prilep is a project initiated by Zvonko Dimoski in 2018, who is also the project manager, first in collaboration with youth association Info Front-Prilep, and the following year it became an independent civic association. This project was and still is, driven by the idea that the public space is mutual, and so the idea to revive the central city core through culture started. The implementation of this project was in public spaces, mostly in the area around the characteristic clock tower in the city of Prilep, from the beginning of June until mid of October. The type of events was different, but they were kept local. Few examples of the kind of events we had: Creative Bazaars, where local artists brought their handmade art and had the opportunity to present and sell it. We had natural cosmetics, jewelry, toys, clothes, etc. Themed parties such as 80's night, radio night, Latino, Macedonian evergreens, and all of them gathered people of all ages. Educational bike tours for the youngest and adults, where kids were thought on the basic rules about cycling, and then they practiced them on the polygon made temporarily for them. The adults had bike tours to the nearby museums, archeological sites, and cultural monuments in the city and outside of it. Postcards of the city made and sold by local artists. Besides its events, Public Space Prilep also supported other activities such as the music festival "With Marko on the street," poetry slam, and others. It collaborates with many city organizations and is often socially engaged. In the end, the result was encouraging and stimulating the city community's inclusiveness and creating a popular platform for exchanging ideas, experiences, products, raising awareness and stimulating volunteering and creativity.

I CAN - Network of Active Citizenship was a 16 months volunteering project promoted by AMC. The project that started in November 2017 and finished in February 2020, organized 6 long-term mobilities, within 8 partners, from 7 different countries, 2 Portuguese youngsters went to Slovenia and Greece and 4 youngsters from Spain, Italy, Georgia and Armenia moved to Portugal, one for each country. The aim of this project was to work on the concepts of citizenship, we lead the volunteers through reflections on this concept, their role as citizens and how to become active members of a society. With this project, volunteers became more aware of their reality and problems and were able to take actions that promoted a positive change in attitudes and make them more active and participative citizens. The involvement of this participants in local community activities with local partners allowed us to diversify the environment of the volunteer work, their experiences and training possibilities and their tools of civic participation. With the support of all organizations involved and local partnerships this project was a successful experience. 🔹 Human Dignity 🔹 Freedom 🔹 Democracy 🔹 Equality 🔹 Rule of law 🔹 Human Rights 🔹
