Cyrille BAUMGARTNER – The French Ambassador in North Macedonia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is for me a pleasure and an honour to address the readers of Europe House Buzz.<\/p>\n

2022 is the year of the French presidency of the European council (FPEU – French Presidency of the EU during this first semester) and the European Year of Youth. As such we decided to combine those two events here in North Macedonia.<\/p>\n

Between March and June, we are organising four major conferences, each in a different town across the country, each dealing with a different priority of the FPEU.<\/p>\n

The next one will take place in Strumica on 27th<\/sup> April. The central theme will be European sovereignty with the exceptional participation of Mr Zoran Zaev together with one of the most recognised French experts on European matters, Mr Yves Bertoncini.<\/p>\n

Similarly to the three other conferences, this one will\u00a0target the audience of young people, from high schools and universities with the support of RYCO and Europe House.<\/p>\n

Instead of talking about young people we chose to talk with<\/em> young people about priority issues for the future of Europe and thus the future of the new generation, Macedonian and European!<\/p>\n

Bien amicalement \u00e0 tous,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Women of the Year Award<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The world would not be the same without the accomplishments of women! And we can be proud of the vast spectrum of women who are admirable and inspirational.<\/p>\n

Frida Kahlo, Virginia Woolf, Maria Kiri Sklodovska, and Rosa Luxemburg are just a few of the pioneer women who, in the past, were transformative. Rule-changing, stereotype-breaking women who transcended expectations. Today, we are witnessing female pilots, bus drivers, engineers, artists, doctors, and scientists. But is that enough?\u00a0 EU statistics<\/a> show that, in Europe, a gender pay gap still exists, and that women work more unpaid hours.<\/p>\n

With the intention of raising awareness and ensuring that all labor is recognised, the Delegation of the European Union organised the presentation of the European Woman of the Year award.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The delegations of the EU, Germany, Croatia, Romania, and Sweden nominated five women from different fields in the competition for the award: Ilina Arsova (athlete\/ mountaineer), Dina Duma (film director), Natalija Burgieva (founder of Mama Organa), Dita Starova Qerimi (National Gallery director) and Maja Mojsova Mijovska (National Transplant Coordinator).<\/p>\n

Symbolically, on March 8, the award was presented in Daut Pashin Amam and the Ambassadors of the five delegations presented certificates of recognition to the nominees for their exceptional work. Ilina Arsova was the winner according to the Social Media public votes.<\/p>\n
