Tarefas: The activities we offer can be roughly categorised into two groups: Media and Comminications and Disabilities.
Media and Communications " Do Right" magazine
Youth Forum EYE has been publishing a youth magazine over the past several years (DO RIGHT Magazine). This magazine is being fully put together by local youngsters, students in the local elementary and highschool. It is a medium through which young people speak of topics of their interest, youth issues, but not only problems - positive aspects of living as well.What is worth mentioning is that the team workng on this magazine is of multicultural nature, uniting Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, Vlahs and Macedonian Muslims. Struga is a multiethnic society and this magazine promotes interethnic tolerance and understanding. The magazine is published in three languages: Macedonian, Albanian and English. The articles are written as well as translated by youngsters themselves.
The volunteers have a very important role in this project. He/she is the person who coordinates all the youngsters' activities. He/she holds meetings with them, discussing the magazine's topic, gives assignments, makes sure tasks are done on time and most important of all, keeps the team motivated and united.
Media and Communications "VoluntNET"
Another Media-and-Communications-related activity is making short movies. Youngsters who wish to be involved in NGO activities but are not good at writing or translating can choose to participate in this activity. Under the guideline of the volunteers they make videos or photo workshops, through which they attempt to draw attention to issues of their interest.The volunteers engaged in these activites gain computer skills, by editing sequences or photographs. They are often included in the graphic design of the magazie as well, thus closelly cooperating with the rest of the volunteers. Also volunteer will help to design posters, flyers and promotional materials for the organization using his/her creativity.
In this project we start a radio show, completely produced by young people, under the monitoring of a volunteer. Ideas and toughts about the show will be generated by the volunteer and youngsters with full support from the local radion station. Mainly the show is for the youngsters who are living in Struga and aorund the city.
Disability
In Struga there is a day-care centre for young people with slight or medium handicap. Everyday, around 15 youngsters visit this centre, with the hope to fulfill their routine days with some fun and laughter. Volunteers, together with the staff in this centre, organise the activites for these kids. They draw, sing, make jewelery, pottery, play games, do sports, go on excursions... Volunteers are free to use their imagination and creativity, all within the possibilies of the centre and with the suport of its staff, as well the staff of Youth Forum EYE.
Other activities
Volunteers are expected to spend 30-35 hours a week working. Their timetable predicts space for language lessons, days off, social activities etc. In their free time, volunteers are encouraged to develop their own project ideas and interest, for which they get our full support as far as feasible. They are also included in other activities in the organisation: they are sometimes involved in writing project applications, help out with organising youth exchanges and other seminars, participate in other current projects the organisation has taken on etc, which enriches their experience in the Youth in Action Program and Project Management in general.
