Target groups:
- Civil society of the Prespa-Ohrid region
- Stakeholders of the field of tourism in the Prespa-Ohrid region
- Children and Young People from the Prespa-Ohrid region and other European countries (Action 1 of the ‘Youth’ program)
All the volunteers are working mostly at the office in Agios Germanos, which is also a lending library, a centre for creative activities for children, a café and a shop for local and tourist products, which is run by the CTP staff as well as by the volunteers. Furthermore, volunteers write texts and update the website, prepare CTP’s newsletters and participate in an audition in a local radio. They are involved in administrative tasks, research, budgeting, financing and supporting the efficient running of the library. Many of the activities include travelling to the neighbouring countries Albania and fYR of Macedionia.
The second working place is an Internet café called Steki in a neighboring village. It’s open in the evenings (from 6 to 11 p.m.) and besides Internet and computer games it offers drinks and music. Almost every Saturday we organize an event in the Steki. This can be a concert, an exhibition, a computer competition, a party, etc. For the occasions like Carnival or Easter we organize bigger events for the children from all the villages. The Steki also functions as a meeting place for young people from the three neighboring countries (Albania, fYR of Macedonia and Greece).
Volunteers are expected to be creative and bring new ideas to the place. That also counts for all the activities. The organization is open for any proposals coming from the volunteers, they are supporting them in taking initiatives and implementing additional projects such as exchange meetings (Action 1 of the ‘Youth’ program), workshops, events, etc. with a support.
Additional tasks such as workshops for children either at the library or the Steki or even right in their villages, support children aged 4-12. In order to help the volunteers with these tasks a regular training at a local kindergarten is offered.
