On December 5th, NGO THY, in cooperation with the Municipality of Prizren, marked International Volunteer Day by honoring the role of young people in shaping a more active and engaged society.
Held in the Assembly Hall of the Municipality, the event brought together young participants from Prizren and various European countries, creating a vibrant and inspiring space for reflection and exchange. The gathering was opened by the Deputy Mayor of Prizren, Mr. Kujtim Gashi, who welcomed the participants and highlighted the value of youth involvement in community development.
During the event, young people shared their volunteer experiences and emphasized the importance of civic engagement. A special moment was dedicated to the UPSHIFT teams, who signed agreements to begin implementing their community-based projects, developed through the UPSHIFT program.
The event was part of a broader commitment to promoting youth participation, supported by the Municipality of Prizren and the UNICEF Kosovo Programme, who continue to play a vital role in empowering youth-led initiatives.
