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.
