Delegation of the European Union, Skopje and Europe House Skopje displayed their full support of Skopje Pride.
Skopje was filled with positive energy in the colors of the Rainbow in support of human rights.
Europe House Skopje organized YEA Open Day – an opportunity for young people from 🇲🇰 to learn more about the current call for Young European Ambassadors #YEA.
Through open conversations throughout the day with Aleksandar, Sara, Ana, Donna and Vojdan, they were informed ‘first hand’ about what it means to be a Young European Ambassador.
The call is open until July 1️⃣0️⃣
Despite the pandemic, we found ways to stay in close contact with the young people in 🇲🇰. We have replaced high school visits with virtual meetings, connecting young people and Young European Ambassadors #YEA both across borders and in the Western Balkans.
🇪🇺 Ambassador David Geer had the first #YouthTalks – with Macedonian athletes and sports activists. Sport is a passion, a profession, a lifestyle, but also a driver of change. With the cheerful approach of #YEA Ana Kjupeva we openly talked about sports in terms of gender equality, inclusion, socialization, mental health and regional approach.
We had the conversation from Europe House Skopje, but for the first time we were simultaneously connected with Europe House in Kriva Palanka and Strumica.

The award for professional photography went to Arbnora Memeti for a photo published in Meta.mk, while the award for best amateur photography went to Viktor Popovski.
‘We don’t create a fantasy world to escape reality, we create it to be able to stay.’ (Lynda Barry)
This is perhaps the essence of artistic expression in this exhibition where the artist is on a quest for beauty through subjectively lived ideas. This ‘beautiful’ is a place where one can escape to, or an avenue leading though to a different understanding of the ‘beautiful’ – assuming life can be called beautiful – as opposed to exciting (‘to stay’).
Today more than ever we want to escape reality and the negative influence our civilization is having on our lives (and which costs us lives). We want to abandon reality as we no longer trust it. This gives rise to some ethical questions: if the artist’s approach, as well as the end result of their work, are correctives to what we are seeing in our ordinary lives, then the answer can be found in escape through contemplation.
The body of work presented in this collection poses questions with great intensity, poetry, passion, engagement and analysis. The exultation of the act of creation through the use of subjective language calls all the more for communication with the other. And it invites one to escape through art.
