LOJA – A Source of Opportunities
In the city of Tetovo, opportunities for youth are few, but organisations like LOJA provide many opportunities for youth development.
LOJA for young people offers a diverse program starting with different workshops with guests from different countries of the world, meetings with officials, different training sessions for students and students, and also different exchanges.
As a volunteer in the youth group in the LOJA organisation, I was given the opportunity to be part of a seminar entitled “All Inclusive Radio” in Pignola, Italy.
In this visit, I had the opportunity to get acquainted with new worldviews.
The training was about how Radios are created, where we were educated on the creation of a radio and we also had the opportunity to visit Radio Ruotti and also the museum of the most famous magazine in Italy.
On this trip, I had the opportunity to build new friendships with different nationalities with whom we still communicate and share knowledge.

Even today, I enjoy the friendship with these girls who made this visit far from my country very pleasant and unforgettable, they were like a second family!

Next, for you, dear readers, I have brought some other experiences from other volunteers of the LOJA organisation.
The experience of Elisa Luma in Civita Calabria Nature and Sport – a vining combination.
“The experience I’ve had with the LOJA group is one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had. We visited different places, where we met Arberish Albanians (Albanians from Italy), we explored different envoirnments and were introduced to different traditions.We spent beautiful times with friends.
The opportunities that LOJA gives to young people are many, for example:
to visit different places, to explore new things, to learn new languages, etc.”
The experience of Lena Josifoska in Civita Calabria, Nature and Sport a vining combination.
“It was such an amazing experience. It’s unforgettable. We had so much fun, we learned a lot of new things. We visited many cities in Civita, Italy: The Municipality, a unique museum for Civita’s culture, the famous waterfall in Civita (we learned the real story behind it) and more… We even had time for fun activities and hung out with the Italian people.
Being part of LOJA is such a good experience for a lifetime. They have so many different activities for all ages (interesting and suitable for the youth as well): Film festival, debating, music, art clubs, many workshops, different exchange programs and much more. You can learn something new from every activity they organise. Going and being a part of their activities as well as being a volunteer, this is time well-spent! I am proud to be a LOJA volunteer!”
The experience of Vlera Hajrullai in Marseille France, Civic Activism.
“My experience at Exchange in France was one of the best experiences I have ever had. We stayed in France for 1 week, but even though that week went by very quickly, we could accomplish many things together, with our friends from other European countries (France, Germany, Greece). In addition to various and very interesting activities, we also had the opportunity to visit many beautiful parts of the city, as well as the islands near the city.
Whenever someone asks me about the LOJA organisation, I don’t know where to start, there are many things that need to be known about it. I have been a volunteer at LOJA for 1 and a half years. I have participated in many organisations, and I am very grateful to LOJA for all these opportunities it has given me.”
These are the experiences of LOJA volunteers, they have learned, gained experience and also created memories!
