Promoting the cultural and social life of persons with physical disabilities, raising public awareness of their needs, and advocating for their inclusion in all aspects of society are the main goals of the traditional “Tortijada.” Organized annually by “Mobilnost – Strumica,” this event is one of the most respected initiatives led by the National Union of Persons with Physical Disabilities, “Mobilnost Makedonija.”

This year, with sponsorship from the “ZAEV – One Society for All” Foundation, the 25th-anniversary of “Tortijada” took place, bringing together “Mobilnost” associations from Skopje, Prilep, Kumanovo, Veles, Kočani, Shtip, Gevgelija, Radovish, and Strumica.

Notably, the director of our Foundation, Zoran Zaev, has been a continuous supporter of “Tortijada” for the past 20 years. His support began during his time as mayor of Strumica, continued through his term as Prime Minister of North Macedonia, and endures today through his leadership of the “ZAEV – One Society for All” Foundation. His long-standing dedication extends beyond “Tortijada” to include other activities organized by “Mobilnost – Strumica” and “Mobilnost Makedonija.”

While “Tortijada” has a competitive element, this year, camaraderie among participants was paramount.

Let’s inspire humanity and join together to support those in need.
