We are back from D-Festival, the biggest youth festival in North Macedonia. We spent 4 amazing days in Dojran, with a youth group that implemented the educational activity “Compass of Human Rights“, a treasure hunt within the festival camping area. We had people participating from all over the country in our activity.
The “Compass of Human Rights” was an interactive treasure hunt that included movement around the camp, reading a compass, sharing thoughts, knowledge and education related to human rights. Apart from the fun and entertainment that the participants had during the activity, an educational aspect was also present with the promotion of human rights, in order to introduce them to the participants and to more easily understand them. Human rights were the main guide in the activity as it is necessary to talk about human rights, but also talk about the responsibilities that come with them. We had 5 teams with young people coming from different cities in the country who searched for the tasks around the camp related to human rights. The winning team was the team “Ruter“, which won the prize.
D-Festival was also an opportunity for our volunteers to get closer, to network with other NGOs and of course to have fun!
