Safe space
Caring ears, holding fast,waiting on every syllable. Nothing to be read in between the lines. A gaze, silence that says ‘I am here’. A hand close by, far enoughto leave room for opening. Lukáš Sabol

Somewhere in Southern Spain My Youthpass Started Making Sense
If you have ever done an Erasmus+ training course, you probably have a Youthpass certificate somewhere on your laptop. Maybe in a folder called “documents” or “stuff” or “idk.” It says you developed competences. Important ones. European-framework-level ones. And if you are anything like me or the 30 other youth workers I met in southern…

Парите зборуваат
И со децении, на жените им се вели да не зборуваат премногу гласно. Според извештајот од 2023 година на „Harvard Business Review“, жените сè уште имаат помала веројатност од мажите да преговараат за плати, финансирање или инвестициски можности – не затоа што им недостасува самодоверба или компетентност – туку затоа што почесто социјално се казнуваат…

Money Talks
And for decades, women have been told not to speak too loudly. According to a 2023 report from Harvard Business Review, women are still less likely than men to negotiate salaries, funding, or investment opportunities, not because they lack confidence or competence, but because they are more frequently penalized socially when they do.

French Touch
8:35 AM Morning in Skopje doesn’t start, it leaks in. Soft light spilling over cracked sidewalks, brushing the side of a small church on the corner like it’s half-remembering something sacred. Orthodox prayers, not loudly, just enough to remind you that time is real and you’re already late. The air still carries that early spring…

Моја верзија на една биографија
Често пати сум се прашувал што треба да имам направено за да можам да си напишам и објавам своја биографија. Колку и какви дела треба да имам постигнато за да бидат тие доволно важни за објавување? Мислам дека мерилата за различни возрасти се различни. Она што би сакал да го издвојам и да го споделам…

Buddhism on Display
When a religion born between 563 and 483 BCE becomes a simple scented candle in our bathrooms or a “zen” tattoo in Bali…One may wonder: what really remains of Buddhism? Buddhism is one of the oldest religions still widely practiced today. It appeared in India in the 5th century BCE, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, a…

The canva with (too) many painters
What happens when you give millions of internet users a blank canvas the size of the planet? You get the website Wplace, where millions of people are drawing their favorite characters, flags, or other kinds of art over their cities for the sole desire to be seen and the pleasure to create. Launched in July…

Stone Bridge: Walking Through Skopje’s Layers
As an architect interested in cultural heritage and urban identity, the way I try to understand a city often follows certain steps. While volunteering in Skopje, I used the same approach to get to know the city. The first step is to experience the city on foot: observing how streets connect, where public spaces are…
