Living Heritage Program

Workshop in the Old bazaar

The Workshop in the Old bazaar, which took place on 18 April this year, in the premises of the Chifte Amam and the House of craftsman, had an objective to gather all interested parties and to impel a common action and revitalization strategy in that place. The workshop is part of the project NIK “List”, within the Living Heritage Program, implemented in Macedonia by the King Boduen Foundation from Belgium and the Open Society Institute of Macedonia Foundation. In realization of this workshop, apart from these two foundations, the German foundation Conrad Adenauer also gave its contribution.

The workshop took place under sponsorship of the Ministry of Culture and the Town assembly of Skopje. It was carried out in groups and in the end, the participants decided to continue working, forming a coalition of concerned parties. A citizens’ committee was founded and in the following period it will coordinate the activities related to forming a strategy for revitalization of the bazaar, which will be presented at the Bazaar’s donor conference, soon organized by NIK “List”.
