\u25aa Vjosa, your team loves you! \u25aa Skuadra jote t\u00eb do! \u25aa \u0422\u0435 \u0441\u0430\u043a\u0430 \u0442\u0432\u043e\u0458\u043e\u0442 \u0442\u0438\u043c! \u25aa EUROPE HOUSE \u25aa<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n #BeActive is not just a slogan we use every September during the European Week of Sports. #BeActive is a lifestyle that we try to develop throughout the year. Emotional, mental and physical well-being go hand in hand. So, on 21 June 2022, we embraced yoga to promote mind-body balance and to mark the International Day of Yoga. In joining our initiative, three yoga studios in Skopje hosted a free yoga class: Aerial Movement Academy, KENSHO, and Flow Yoga Studio.<\/p>\n The purpose of #BeActive is to raise awareness about the importance of physical activity through various styles of yoga for beginners. Our yogis spent a wonderful day celebrating the International Day of Yoga, encouraging focus and balance in both body and mind.<\/p>\n We are looking forward to the next #BeActive<\/span> event!<\/p>\n #SkopjePride<\/span> brought excitement for the third time to the streets of Skopje! The parade was a call for equality, tolerance, and respect for human rights. Europe House is the perfect place to support the new generation of young adults whose voices should be heard and who should be allowed to take an active part in decision-making processes. The current youth actively demonstrate open-mindedness towards a modern progressive society by breaking stereotypes and supporting diversity. That\u2019s right: together with the EU Ambassador David Geer we supported unity in diversity under the rainbow flag during the Pride March. We were happy to have been part of the procession promoting love, tolerance, and respect.<\/p>\n In addition to joining the parade, we displayed the rainbow flag in front of the European Union building during June to show our support of Pride Month. We also dedicated a section of the #CultureMatters series to Petra Brankovska\u2019s film review of Poppy Field<\/em> <\/a>from gledaj.mk.<\/p>\n We want to bring cultural events to places and sites that are difficult to get to, and thus to bring contemporary European culture closer to local citizens across the country. The \u201c7th Art\u201d as the medium of modern societies speaks loudly and pointedly about a plethora of contemporary issues. The team behind Cinedays<\/em> successfully recognises the burning issues viewed through the lens of the European film masters and visually presents them to the local film audience.<\/p>\n This year, the \u201cEuropean Traveling Open Air Cinema\u201d brought outdoor screenings of new European films to Valandovo, Ki\u010devo and \u0160tip.<\/p>\n \u201cThe European open-air travelling cinema showed six new European feature films this year, most of which were award-winning films \u2013 an expression of European creativity and diversity that appeals to everyone\u2019s taste. It also screened six Macedonian short films, some of which are award-winning films at various film festivals and favourites among local film lovers.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe film selection reflects contemporary themes that concern us all but especially young people \u2013 from the lives of teenagers and their relationships affected by the Internet to violent extremism and terrorism, as well as the participation of women in cinematography, children in science, etc.\u201d \u2013 Youth Cultural Centre<\/p>\n We\u2019d like to highlight not one but two events that marked the month of June in Strumica: \u201cMayor for a Day Contest\u201d and \u201cSunset Yoga\u201d at Europe House Strumica.<\/p>\n \u201cMayor for a Day Contest\u201d is a joint pilot programme of Europe House Strumica and the Municipality of Strumica for developing a more inclusive and friendly workspace for local youth. It started in June and will continue throughout the year to provide a unique opportunity to engage young residents of Strumica in municipal politics and civic issues. Once a month, local youth will be shadowing the mayor to learn new skills on the job and gain first-hand, real-world experience.<\/p>\n The \u201cSunset Yoga\u201d event was organised on the International Day of Yoga, 21 June. In the magical hills surrounding the monastery in Hamzali, looking down on the beautiful Strumica gorge, together with Ashtanga Yoga Strumica we meditated and practised yoga under the sun by balancing body and mind and establishing the importance of synergy between the mind-body and nature.<\/p>\n The young people in Kriva Palanka have always been keen on arts and culture. Reading and writing literature are essential to so many young adults. What\u2019s more, if you think that hardly anyone could be interested in poetry anymore, you are wrong. Here, at Europe House Kriva Palanka, we spent a wonderful summer afternoon with fifty young people participating in the Erasmus+ programme sharing their creativity in the youth initiative for reading poetry in various European languages, including Macedonian, Romanian, Polish, Italian, Turkish, and English.<\/p>\n The lovely atmosphere packed with music and beautiful poems made the event a valuable experience by sending the message that we can all use words to create a better world, thus connecting people and ideas across communities. And the Erasmus+ programme brings such great opportunities to many young people across Europe.<\/p>\nINTERNATIONAL DAY OF YOGA<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
