👨👩👧👧 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FAMILIES👨👩👧👧 8th Community Event, organised by NEXUS Civil Concept 📍Municipality of Cair, Skopje 📌The International Day of Families is observed on May 15 every year. The Day was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993 with resolution A/RES/47/237 and reflects the importance the international community attaches to families. In light of the Day in the elementary school "Imri Elezi" municipality of Cair, the workshop was conducted with students in grades 6, 7, 8, and 9. On this day we provided an opportunity to promote awareness of issues related to children as part of the families and to increase the knowledge of their rights to social and economic processes that generally affect families. ☑ The project "Community-Based Intervention Programme: Thee Path to Reintegration", implemented by the Consortium of organizations, Macedonian Center for International Cooperation - MCIC, NEXUS Civil Concept, Initiative for European Perspective-IEP, Horizon Civitas and Pleiades Organization. The project is supported by the GCERF (Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund) Watch the video with subtitles in ENG 👇 https://lnkd.in/deBYKnEx
