The YCC is an independent, nongovernmental, nonpartisan, and nonprofit youth organization that works to create opportunities for young people to get involved in their community through volunteer placements, participation in cultural events, and the development of civil society. Among our activities is the annual International Art Festival – Bitola Open City, a festival that provides young artists from Macedonia, the Balkans, and greater Europe a forum to present their talents. The goal of the festival is to promote multiculturalism through art and music.
