CID

Today we are going to be talking about CID- Center for Intercultural Dialogue.
Victim of the day is Sonja Jovanovska. But she was busy with financial stuff today so we got what we could out of her.

Center for Intercultural Dialog was founded in May, 2006 by 4 youngsters.
Their names are; Stefan,Bosko,Ilham and Magde.
The only person who is still in CID is Stefan and he is the President of CID.
At the time they all were in High School in Kumanovo(Macedonia).
And they wanted to start something for youngsters.
CID does many things, but the main thing is Inter Culture Dialog. It means that they are trying to improve communication between cultures. Because in Kumanovo there are so many nationalities.
Albanians,Serbians, Romans , Macedonians and Vlaks.So CID might be a small organization with not big office but it plays a Big Role in social life.

Right now CID is trying to communicate with UNICEF*

How and Where from do they get money .As you will read below CID is not profit company but they get foundations from "EU,Government of Macedonia,Sponsors and People who donate some money every month."




                                                                      CID

"The Centre for Intercultural Dialogue (CID) is a non-governmental,
 non-profit youth voluntary organization."
1. Non-governmental in a manner that CID will act and work according to its 
internal values and policies

only for the purpose of implementation of the CID activity plans that shall aim
 to achieve CID’s aims

 CID is an organization formed by young people, for young people

 as an organization depends a lot on the voluntary involvement of all
 members of the organization. 
CID is thankful to its volunteers and will continue to provide everyone with

support to perform at his/her best for the benefit of the society.
