First Project Meeting, Skopje, Macedonia, October, 27-28, 2011


The first mobility of the aces project “Career Centers is Schools”, which took place in Skopje, Macedonia  - was pleasant and instructive.

The Macedonian team of teachers and students organized for us a varied agenda: workshops, PowerPoint presentations, thematic movies and a tour of Skopje.

First, the Macedonian team presented a material about Macedonia, its geography, economy and tourist attractions. Then we found out more about “Boro Petrusevski” the most modern high school in Macedonia.

We also watched an interesting movie about the importance of communication and job searching strategies.

In the afternoon we enjoyed the tour of Skopje, when our hosts showed us the landmarks of their capital: the central square with the statue of Alexander the Great, the museum of history, Mother Theresa`s memorial house and the old bazaar.

The program of the second day included attractive workshops organized by the Macedonian students. We discussed about the elements which make a good CV and cover letter, about abilities, verbal and non-verbal communication. The students also thought of organizing funny moments which helped us get to know one another better in a pleasant way.

We came back home happy hoping to return to Skopje one day.
