Celebrating the achievements of Nikolija Zlatevska

We are proud to announce that Nikolija Zlatevska, a Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES) alumna from North Macedonia (2023), has been named one of the 44 YES Alumni Grantees for her dedication to fostering positive change in her community.

After spending her exchange year in Rogers, Arkansas, Nikolija has now completed her final year of high school in Skopje. Inspired by the festivals she attended in the U.S., she received a grant to organize the Skopje Creative Fest. The festival’s second edition will feature young talent in art, film, dance, music, and poetry.
