American Corner was hosting an event on voluntarism for High School youth from the Skopje area. They asked me to give a presentation about creACTive Skopje to draw volunteers to help creACTive or become members. I believe it was a success. After the presentation I relieved a lot of interest enthusiasm for creACTive. I hope this helped and in the future American Corner said they would be happy to speak at creACTive about how go apply to attend an American University.
