Skopje opens first day center for persons with disabilities

Skopje has opened its first day center for persons with disabilities aged 14 and older. Located within the Youth Cultural Center (MKC), the facility aims to provide an inclusive and supportive environment for users and their families.

Minister of Social Policy, Demography and Youth Djoko Velkovski, and Mayor of Skopje Orce Gjorgjievski attended the opening. The center will offer psychological and professional support, alongside educational, creative, and recreational activities. These programs are designed to help users develop practical life skills, communication, independence, and self-confidence.
