From June 4 to June 9, 2025, a working meeting on the project „Multiple intelligence for social inclusion,“ No. 2024-1-BG01-KA220-YOU-000249568, was held in the city of Ohrid, Republic of North Macedonia. The project is funded by the Erasmus+ program.
The meeting was attended by experts from the Center for Advanced Studies, North Macedonia, the Center for the Promotion of Innovation and Development, Poland, and the Standard Consulting Center Association, Bulgaria. During the working visit, the processes of implementing the innovative model in all partner organizations were discussed, as well as sharing impressions, progress, problems encountered when working with marginalized youth, and actions taken to address them. Future project activities, creating sustainability, and multiplying the project results were also discussed. Experts from the three countries described their work on the project as challenging. Representatives of the target groups, young people between the ages of 18 and 30 who are not working or studying, are easy to identify but difficult to motivate and engage in the project. Thanks to the interesting innovative model and the tremendous work of experts, psychologists, social workers, mediators, mentors, and others, the most needy representatives of the target groups were selected and numerous joint and individual events were held with them. That is why representatives of the target groups, interested parties, and experts from the Republic of North Macedonia also took part in the working meeting.
The working visit ended with a working meeting at the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy in Skopje.
