National Youth Health Policies Project
Start date: Aug 10, 2016, End date: Apr 9, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

It must be accepted that young people have health problems that are beyond the diseases of the general population. Youth is a driving force of a nation, that’s why it is necessary that their health problems should be solved and that’s the reason we want to make this project.Almost half of the population in Macedonia are young people under thirty years of age. With our project we want to raise awareness about the health of the general young population and to contribute to political objectives based on their health condition.Our aim with this project is the comparison of our standards and standards of European countries, discovering gaps in the country and find a solution to improve the health of young people, in order to help our country to be part of the European Union. Therefore we will hold discussions with young people especially with high school students and students from diverse backgrounds in our country, we will discover shortcomings and seek solutions for improvement.Through discussion with young people, we will find the deficiencies. This discussion will be held in 8 different regions in our country. Those meetings will include young people, guests, speakers and professionals that and will serve as a place from which all of the participants can gain new skills and ideas to act on concrete actions for better health of the young population. After following the results of those meetings, the results and conclusions will be delivered to many relevant institutions and eminent people like politicians, University professors and professionals, etc. The participants will be selected by an on-line registration by which we can see the variety of age and especially take care of the gender equity. From each region, 16 participants will be selected as active participants in the discussions and small working group. Also, those participants will be able to be part of the trainings and workshops that we will organized. Additional 2 people will be chosen as coordinators of each meeting. Those 2 additional participants will go through a more professional and experience-based selection. Outside the 16 + 2 participants, we will have 4 regional coordinators of the projects which goal will mainly be setting the logistics, PR and marketing and most importantly, contact with regional offices, institutions and youth organizations.The meetings will be done in the following cities:Skopje, Shtip, Strumica, Kavadarci, Bitola, Ohrid, Kumanovo, Gostivar.The biggest action point on the meeting is creating a new policies for health among youth and awareness of the same. The action point will be done by moderating a lot of trainings and workshops including discussions and debates by experience professionals in the field of health and health policies, education and health, public health, and other health connected branches from the society. The main goal is not to discuss mostly about the health issues among youth, but rather FIND NEW creative ideas and solutions that can be used in the regions and nationally to create a better society and health in the youth population.
