Following an open a call for applications, CID will select a group of 20 youth leaders from Municipality of Kumanovo, Lipkovo and Staro Nagoricane to participate in a series of two, five-day trainings on youth civic engagement and advocacy.
The trainings will focus on developing the young participants’ skills to promote positive changes in their lives and communities through: supporter recruitment, peer outreach, community mapping, establishing local partnerships, conducting structured dialogue, and using offline and online tools for campaigning.

The FPDL and CID will mentor the youth leaders as they transfer their knowledge to at least 60 peers involved in directly implement ing the campaigns. The CID-supported advocacy campaigns will initiate a constructive, youth-led dialogue at the community level.
