Resumo: The Youth Association creACTive is seated in the municipality of Gjorce Petrov, which is part of Skopje - the capital city of Macedonia. Gjorce Petrov has a total population of 40.000 people, out of which about 10.000 live in the urban part of the municipality, and the rest are situated in the villages around the capital. There is insignificant number of youth organizations and activities for young people in this part of Skopje; and in the moment creACTive is working hard on involving youth from Gjorce Petrov in a process of non-formal education.
The organization rents offices in an area where the communities of Vlae and Gjorce Petrov border. Our offices are fully equiped with all technical equipment needed for office work, such as computers, printers, LCD projector, copier, scanner, fax, TV, DVD, digital and video camera. There is an ADSL connection available 24 hours a day, which is also transmitted through wireless router, meaning that the volunteer would also have internet connecton if he/she owns a lap-top.
In addition, creACTive also rents a youth club, based on 10 minutes walking distance from the office. The club is provided with computers, printer, TV, internet connection and other office equipment; and it provides non-formal education activities for young people from Gjorce Petrov.
Though the organization's offices are based in Gjorce Petrov, creACTive is implementing projects and activities on the whole territory of Skopje, and on a national level as well. Organization's membership is consisted of young people from a number of different cities in Macedonia; as there are local clubs in Prilep, Kavadarci, Gevgelija, Sveti Nikole, Probistip and a couple of others are currently in a process of establishment.
