Use It (Ambassador Grant)

Replicating a Successful Model to Further Social Cohesion 

Spring-boarding from its success and trust built with the local community through its previous project, Use It held social cohesion workshops on peer-peer violence across the city for 39 people. The team also once again led the renovation of another public space – a multipurpose sports court in the heart of the city, engaging 35 community members. This was followed by a co-ed volleyball tournament to raise awareness around countering youth violence.

The Ministry of Culture of North Macedonia were impressed by the team’s abilities to galvanise other youth to invest their time and energy in local projects, and supported the team with a mini-grant with which they organised a cultural symposium, bringing together youth from around the country to discuss youth-led approaches to fostering social harmony.
