Think Global, Start Local!
Remember the photography exhibition on the theme – youth influence?
Well, more than 300 Euros have been raised as a result of the work and vision that the young and talented photographers showed during the photography workshops. Their work has been exhibited at the photography exhibition “Youth Influence” from 06 – 12 March 2008 in Skopje.
One of the main aims of the LoFT project is to make a positive impact in the local communities and show that young people’s actions really can make a difference.
With the money raised we have bought 14 specialised books and a laminating machine for the children with visual impairment from the “Dimitar Vlahov” High School in Skopje. On May 14th we officially made the donation.
Remember: “Think Global, Start Local”

Mission successful!
We are very happy to say that our main event, the photography exhibition” Youth Influence” went with huge success.The exhibition started with an opening speech by the coordinator of the project Andreja Bogdanovski, saying a short info about the project. Mr. Ivan Blazev said more on the photography workshops and the experience he had while working with the group. One of the many highlights of the evening was the presentation of the Youth Influence video clips to the audience, which were made with the support of the independent youth film media production Cre8ive8. The main part followed, many people donated money for the school for visual impaired children Dimitar Vlahov in Skopje, thus investing in better educational resources. We had a good media coverage as well. Two of the national televisions were present at the exhibition. It is worth mentioning that HMA of the Republic of Slovenia in Macedonia participated in the event as well.
Great success for all of the LoFT Macedonia team. Without their enthusiasm and hard work this wouldn’t have become a reality.
