Making a proper use of the topic we want to raise public awareness, related to environmental challenges in the European and local level, for instance, the city of Skopje, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (one of the most polluted city in the world) In January 2019 members of "RACIO" were part of a project called "Sustainability of NGO's". One of the outcomes of the project was to write 5 new projects during the training and one of the topics was referred to "Environmental issues" which we decided to work on it. The participants from different countries who were participating there were interested in taking part as partners and also discussing topics such as: How to protect Nature? How to decrease the pollution ? What can be our role in saving the Nature or World? How to actively participate in environmental issues ?
