“On July 1st and 2nd, a productive weekend took place in Thessaloniki. Twenty young participants from Greece and North Macedonia gathered for the Young Leaders Accelerator program. They engaged in workshops led by five mentors, where they gained valuable knowledge and information about the labor market’s needs, skill development, and the importance of personal branding. Additionally, the participants had the opportunity to learn from the personal experiences of seven young entrepreneurs who showcased their startups during the Open day event. The project, which was run by SEE in Action & Public Opinion Research Unit of University of Macedonia for the Interreg IPA 2014-2021(Greece-Republic of North Macedonia) sought to improve bilateral cooperation between the youth of the two countries.
