Association for Educational Development Ekvalis was founded in 2017 as an initiative of several civic activists. Ekvalis is non-profit organistion with activities being implemented in all territories of the country. Throughout the years, Ekvalis has engaged numerous young people, civic activists, youth workers and educators, teachers, professors, school administration, the Union of High School Students, civic sector and institution representatives in facilitating enabling environment where each individual (and especially those who are marginalized) can freely express and live. In our activities, the participants are included in educational activities where they get familiar with their fundamental human rights (with special focus on gender and sexual orientation), the principles of building democratic societies, peace building and media literacy. As a result of our activities there were numerous interventions in the Macedonian society that triggered significant public response.
The mission of the Association for Educational Development Ekvalis is to involve the citizens in the processes of social change through the cycle of education, critical approach, analysis and taking action. Association for Educational Development Ekvalis will initiate interpersonal cooperation between citizens in spite of any barriers related to ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, social background or condition of ability.
The vision of the Association for Educational Development Ekvalis is to build a community where citizens will be educated, and will question and change the social processes for personal and collective well-being.
