Патување низ мистичното Охридско езеро на тема: Ментално здравје
Волонтерски Центар Скопје беше домаќин на обука за проектот: „Mental Health Matters“ од програмата Еразмус+ што се одржа во Струга (4-12 април 2025), коорганизиран со Stowarzyszenie Europa luvenis од Полска. Постои стереотип дека Балканците се поопуштени, живеат порелаксирано и повеќе уживаат во животот. Нашето секојдневие е обично брзање, немаме време за пауза, за размислување каде…

Mental health journey to mystical Ohrid lake
Volunteers Centre Skopje hosted Erasmus+ training course “Mental Health Matters” from the 4th to the 12th of April 2025, co-organized with Stowarzyszenie Europa Iuvenis. There is a stereotype that Balkan people are more relaxed, live slower, and enjoy life more. Our daily life is usually a rush, we don’t have time to pause, find out…

Four walls with tomorrow inside
Let me take you on a journey across the Mediterranean sea, on the coast side of the Iberian Peninsula, arriving at a colorful school in the beautiful barrio of Cabanyal, in the city of Valencia. It is not just any school, it is a Learning Community. At this school, students and parents are closely intertwined…

Меѓу култури, меѓу зборови, меѓу луѓе…
„Кога ќе се тргнеш од познатото, често се враќаш поблиску до себе.“ Понекогаш едно патување знае да ти подари повеќе од само нова дестинација. Ти дава простор да ги поставиш прашањата што си ги носел со месеци, да слушнеш размисли различни од твоите, а сепак толку блиски. И токму такво искуство ми донесе обуката за…

Between cultures, between words, between people…
“When you step away from the familiar, you often return closer to yourself.” Sometimes, a journey gives you more than just a new destination. It gives you space – to ask the questions you’ve been carrying for months, to hear voices different from your own, yet somehow so familiar. And that’s exactly what the Erasmus+…

(Наоѓање утеха) Помеѓу врвовите и падините
Се навикнав на прилично секојдневен пејзаж. Зелените и жолтите полиња се протегаат до каде што окото може да види, обидувајќи се да се борат против монохроматските облаци на хоризонтот што доминираат на небото поголемиот дел од годината. Ова е она што го карактеризира Источен Мидлендс – дел од рамна земја со села, градови и гратчиња…

(Finding solace) Betwixt the peaks and troughs
I have become accustomed to a rather mundane paysage. Green and yellow fields stretch as far as the eye can see, trying to fight against the monochromatic, alabaster clouds on the horizon that dominate the sky for most of the year. This is what characterises the East Midlands – a stretch of flat land with…

VOICES May 2025
Dawid: As my time in Skopje slowly nears the end, I find myself naturally becoming more reflective about my volunteering journey. Stumbling upon the opportunity, struggling to write an application, accidentally missing the interview (thanks to my poor judgement of time zones) and arriving at the airport, all of this seems like it happened a…

reflections
All these mirrors around me reflecting what’s inside. These parts I wish to hide. All these mirrors around me, reflecting. Magnify. All these people around reflecting me. These fears of being left behind. I go. One step at a time. Knowing that the competition is only imaginary, the thoughts are loud. I sit. Observe. Let…

Cooking as a love language
Some people feel like it’s a chore, while others will love to do it, but it’s always something very intimate. You show your culture, your personality, your skills, and also your feelings. Sometimes, it remembers your childhood, the time you spent with your family. Especially at big family meetings. What am I talking about? FOOD.…
