Following the successful implementation of the Youth Eco Academy, participants continued their engagement by sharing their experience and knowledge with students in their schools. Presentations were organized at Gymnasium Kiril Pejčinović in Tetovo and at the Regional Centre Moša Pijade, where participants presented what they had learned during the activity and encouraged their peers to think more actively about sustainability, environmental protection, and youth participation.
The presentations reached around 100 students in total and were delivered in different classes across the schools, involving students from the first to the fourth year. This allowed the participants to spread the message of the project to a wider group of young people and to create space for discussion on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), environmental responsibility, and the importance of community action.
By speaking in front of their peers, the participants became multipliers of knowledge and positive examples of youth engagement in practice. Their school presentations showed that the impact of Youth Eco Academy did not end in Popova Shapka, but continued in the local community through peer learning, awareness-raising, and the sharing of personal experience.
These activities also highlighted the importance of involving young people directly in educational and community-based actions. Through their presentations, the participants not only informed other students about the project, but also inspired them to reflect on how they can contribute to a more sustainable and responsible future.
