Empowering Youth & Strengthening Democracy

Empowering Youth & Strengthening Democracy

​From September 5–13, 2026, 8 incredible young leaders from North Macedonia represented Bright Macedonia in Samokov, Bulgaria, for the international Youth Leaders Training: “Navigating the Polarities of Democracy for Empowered Youth Participation”! 🌍💡

​Together with participants from Bulgaria, Türkiye, Croatia, and Hungary, our team dived deep into:

🗳️ Democracy & political polarization

📰 Media literacy & critical thinking

🤝 Active citizenship & inclusive youth participation

​📢 Passing the Knowledge Forward!

​Today, October 14, 2026, our participants held a Dissemination Event to share everything they learned! Through interactive discussions and teamwork, they inspired local youth to step up, speak out, and take an active role in shaping a better, democratic society. 💙
