LOCAL Encounters – Experiences that INSPIRE!

Jul 16, 2025

What does it look like when municipalities REALLY listen to children?

Discover through video testimonies from the local authorities of the municipalities: Kisela Voda, Debar, Gostivar, Vinica, and Veles – partners of the project “Place to Grow: Child-Friendly Municipalities!”

Titled: “Achievements and Best Practices from the Place to Grow Project”, the local authorities spoke about the shift in perspective regarding youth participation and the role children can play in shaping their communities.

Their testimonies reveal concrete changes, lessons learned, and examples that can serve as a roadmap for anyone aiming to create an environment adapted to children’s needs and ideas.

Get inspired for change!
