Young people in Macedonia face many challenges, including unemployment. In 2023, the youth unemployment rate was at 25.7%. With our support, they can access many more opportunities. By developing employment skills in our youth and promoting youth entrepreneurship, we can foster economic development in the region.
Young entrepreneurs contribute to our economy by creating jobs, increasing productivity, utilizing rural resources, and implementing novel innovations. We believe that for many youth, entrepreneurship is the best way to contribute to their families, communities, and societies.
Every year, we celebrate the agricultural traditions of the Polog region through the Beans Day Festival, attended by 500 people. Beans and other traditional foods are served, accompanied by student exhibitions, traditional music, and dance performances.
