Analytica is implementing the project “EU Youth Caravan”, which will be carried out in partnership with the Initiative for Civic Integration (ICI) Gostivar as the lead partner, and the Organization of Women Strumica.

Through debates, simulations, interactive sessions, and creative formats, young people will have the opportunity to become more actively involved, stay informed, and contribute to the processes shaping the country’s European future.

“EU Youth Caravan” seeks to bring European topics closer to young people in a clear, accessible, and practical way, with a strong focus on active participation, exchange of ideas, and the promotion of critical thinking.
