We know that in the previous period, due to quarantine, we spent most of our time at home. Therefore, the volunteers of the Youth Council-Prilep, carried out on-line activities by making newspapers, presentations, and sharing various types of recipes on the Facebook group #youthQuarantine.YCP volunteer Leonardo from Italy made an interesting newspaper with some of the previous activities. The volunteers of the Youth Council-Prilep had the opportunity to meet local young people and spend time with them, socialize, create and learn. Youth Council-Prilep will continue to implement creative workshops and activities.

4. 2 FESTIVITIES
1 DAY
On the 14th February in Macedonia, they are
celebrated two different festivities that somehow
divide people.
Those are Valentine's day and S. Trifun. While the first
one is well known worldwide, the second one is a
Macedonian tradition, where the peaseants trim the
vineyards, hoping for a big season. It's tradition
therefore to drink basically a lot during that day.

5. I met students of the local gymnasium that told me about
the history of S.Trifun and how much influence it actually
has on the life in Prilep. Afterwards all us volunteers told
how we celebrate Valentine's Day in our country.
It was really curious and
interesting to find out this
traditional festivity of which I was
completely unaware!

6. 27-28 February
Location: Kliment Ohridski - elementary school
Blaze Koneski - elementary school
Прочка

9. Procka is a traditional carnival where everybody
celebrates by dressing up how they want, whether
with traditional costums or any kind of other dress.
In occasion of that, I got the opportunity to visit a
couple of schools and help the kids preparing their
own mask.
They were so excited about it and it was a good
time also to know each other a little bit.
It's always a pleasure for me to work with kids and
students in general because they are (almost)
always positive and active about workshops and
they somehow share their happiness and
excitement, making the whole experience so
energizing

10. Woman's Day

12. I was so glad to spend this day,
