Institute for European Affairs is focusing on negotiations between Serbia and the EU as well as on strengthening the capacity of all sides involved in the process. Given the complexity and long duration of the process, the Institute brings together a large number of professionals and external experts with whom organises trainings, debates and other forms of capacity development. We want to contribute to enhanced understanding of Serbia-EU relations. The Institute provides multi-perspective trainings in order to enable active participation of professionals and citizens in the decision-making processes. The Institute actively advocates for fundamental reforms within the EU integration process and in cooperation with partners working on strengthening Serbia's capacity to face the challenges of the global world through collective action. The overall objective is active membership of Serbia in Euro-Atlantic framework for the benefit of all citizens.

What was the topic of the discussion and how was organised?

Topic of the discussion was Macedonia as a country in the region. It were 2 school classes, per 45 minutes.

Explain the reaction of the participants on your speech.

First reaction when I told them that I am ambassador was amazing, they wanted to hear everything how I become an ambassador. Most of them are not included in NGO sector, so they were more interested about opportunities which this sector can offer, where they can find this kind of trainings etc.

Have you notice the impact of your lecture on the participants? Explain.

Yes, The second class was more interactive. I separated them in 5 groups, and I gave them to play role of leaders in Macedonia, what they would change. 3 of the groups were minority leaders, so it was more challenging to them, because they were for the first time thinking how it would be if they are minority in this country.

What were the questions posed by the participants and how did you react?

Questions were more related to how and where they can be included in the NGO sector.So I propose them to make an fb group where we can share information about possibilities that they have in this municipality.
