As one of the most regular visitors to the Youth Center, who regularly attends various events and workshops, I also learned about the HP LIFE courses. These are digital literacy courses run by Natasha from the YMCA. I learned a lot of new things that I should normally learn at school, but unfortunately, they aren’t part of our education system. After taking a few courses, I decided to recommend them to my classmates because I believe everyone should be educated on basic things. After all, we live in a time where almost everything is digital. I must also mention that every time I attend any HP LIFE course, I gain knowledge, confidence, and make new acquaintances. My favorite category is communications.

I want to say that I am satisfied with these courses because we are living in a modern age where everyone needs to have an understanding of technology, online business, and many other things. I am very grateful to the YMCA for offering the HP courses because they are very useful for young people. I have been taking these courses for a while now, and I can say that I like and use them a lot. I also want to praise Natasha Darkov, who is our educator and is always ready to explain any part of the course that is unclear to us. I am sharing this course with my friends and classmates because it is beneficial, and I hope they will like it because it is very relevant today. In the future, I plan to study all the courses, but I would single out the marketing topic as the most useful.

Marko
Hello everyone, my name is Marko. I come from Bitola, Macedonia. I am 17 years old, and these HP courses were introduced to me at the Youth Center, where I regularly volunteer. I am thrilled that I started attending these courses because I have learned about different aspects of the IT world. This way of acquiring new skills through such courses should be applied in education, as when I can gain this much knowledge, everyone else should and deserves to get it too. The courses can be very helpful, and I would share them with more of my friends.

Hello, I’m David, a second-year student at SABA Bitola, majoring in business. My school always shows interest in non-formal education, and that is why for the second year, we have partnered with the YMCA for the digital education courses that the YMCA offers, supported by HP LIFE. I attend these courses with many of my classmates to enrich my digital marketing knowledge. I know that the future lies in digital education, so I study all the courses with great dedication. I would recommend all young people from Bitola to take advantage of this free opportunity, and I know that if they come at least once, the YMCA Digital Hub will become one of their favorite places in our city.

Lina
I am Lina, a second-year business student at SABA Bitola, and I have also been attending HP courses for the second year, provided by the YMCA in our city. I found out about these courses through our school, which is always willing to suggest and provide us with additional knowledge to help us improve for our future. The topic of marketing is my favorite, but of course, I also enjoy the new courses on Digital Business Skills, which are very relevant to my current education. In the future, I would like to study business-related fields, and I know that the knowledge gained about marketing will be of great importance to me. I recommend these courses to all my classmates and friends. This is a great opportunity for us, and it would be a great shame not to take advantage of it.
