Our activities

VCS, besides sending and hosting, is also coordinating organization for volunteers. We provide logistical support for other local institutions and organizations for their ESC volunteers.

Daycare centre for street children

In 2021 we continued our collaboration and support with Association for defense of children rights & Day care center for children from street. For our partner, we brought and hosted 2 Turkish volunteers. Belen and Muammer are successfully working on their ESC project entitled: “Roma children need care, too”.

Zlatan Sremec

In 2021, we also brought and hosted 2 volunteers for the Dr. Zlatan Sremec, special school and resource center for children with atypical development. Anthonia and Annik are 2 young German volunteers that accepted the challenge to gain practical experience on the project:“See the human behind - volunteering as a tool to support inclusion” in the school, and further develop their personal and professional skills.

Our team supported local actions, initiatives and took part in various events:

together towards a cleaner environment

We know that it is important to raise awareness about trashing and recycling. In 2021, VCS joined forces with the partner Za Pochista Makedonija and organized the eco-project “TrashTour” to aim for a cleaner environment and wake up the citizens to take action. In 6 days, there were organized cleanup actions in 6 different cities in Macedonia. VCS also regularly recycles trash in cooperation with Pakomak and Elkolekt.

Wizz air Skopje Marathon

Sunny weather, the spirit of friendly rivalry, motivated runners, and a unique and fun atmosphere – the 3rd of October was Marathon Day in Skopje. Our volunteers from VCS handed out water and bananas for the ambitious runners.

international Youth Day

On the occasion of August 12th, International Youth Day, VCS was part of the event organized by the Agency for Youth and Sports in cooperation with the National Youth Council of Macedonia and the Union for Youth Work where we presented Erasmus+ possibilities to young people and promoted our Voices magazine.

nGo Fair

In September, VCS took part in an NGO fair organized by Civica Mobilitas. About 90 organisations set up their stands, filled them with information about their activities and achievements and socialized with citizens.
