About the project

Beyond borders – united for change

Cooperation for a common future provides a unique opportunity to build a different mechanism for bringing together young activists from Macedonia and Bulgaria through various creative activities to cooperate through getting to know each other. This is the idea of the project “Beyond borders – united for change” which RAC started on October 1st with financial support from the US Embassy in Skopje.

The goal of the project is to bring together young people interested in intercultural dialogue from the two neighboring countries in order to break stereotypes and prevent political manipulation of young people. To provide young participants using tools and skills acquired during the project activities, to establish a network of young active leaders who can work together for a better common future and achieving the same goals. To develop trendy approaches, resources and materials to mobilize young people to undertake different activities on both sides of the border.

Planned activities
