Being successful is not an easy thing, but being the best is a true recognition for all of your achievements. That is why, dear Bluesky-ers, the Blue Sky Youth Network, on March 18, 2008 in the Universal Hall in Skopje, was awarded for its achievements in youth activism and its contribution to the Macedonian society.

The manifestation “In the world of success”, is being successfully organized by Detla Press Marketing and its aim is to acknowledge the best Macedonian organizations, companies, persons, according to the public opinion, that left a significant mark in 2007. To be nominated for this prestigious recognition, one should leave a mark of its time and to act for the wellbeing of all members in the society.

From now on the name of Blue Sky will be engraved with the letters of success, standing in line next to the names of the Macedonian pop icon Tose Proeski, Esma Redzepova, the Macedonian Parliament, the municipalities of Karpos and Centar, the Ministry of Ecology, High-tech Corporation, Sanos and many others.

Dear Bluesky-ers let this award be an impetus for continuing the excellent work of all of us in the name of The Blue Sky Youth Network.

The workshop in project management in Stip was very interesting. It took place in the Blue Sky office in Stip, on the 24th of May. The trainers were Aleksandra Umlenska and Igor Dimovski.

The Weekend PM Caravan in M.Kamenica went interesting and educative. The trainer was Aleksandra Umlenska. The training took place in a cafe at the centre of the town, on 3rd of July.

It is so hard to adjust to these 37 C here in Skopje, from the 12 C in Glasgow. This is one of the things that we miss about Glasgow together with the fact of being the biggest national delegation at a world wide conference.

Anyhow, CIVUCUS youth and CIVICUS world assembly were our occupation from 16 – 21 June in Glasgow. We got the great opportunity as part of the Leap of Faith Together project to participate and talk about world issues that are shaking the world stage, and deserve so much attention.

The event addressed the question of people, participation and power as three main pillars of discussion and debate, space for sharing experiences and knowledge.

On 17th of May, the caravan arrived in Veles. Ivana and Igor had an interesting workshop in project management. There weren’t many members at the workshop but the atmosphere was relaxed and the communication between the participants was great. It started at 12:00h and I am sure that at the beginning the participants were skeptic about the workshop, expecting that it’s going to be another boring lecture but at the end they went home smiling and satisfied with the new knowledge in project management.

It was an interesting day when after my final algebra test I went to Radovish. When I arrived there all of the students were excited about the project management workshop that I held there. There was a good group of students who listened carefully and participated actively at the workshop.

Remember the photography exhibition on the theme Youth influence?

Well, more than 300 Euros have been raised as a result of the work and vision that the young and talented photographers showed during the photography workshops. Their work has been exhibited at the photography exhibition "Youth Influence" from 06 – 12 March 2008 in Skopje.

The Weekend PM Caravan in Kumanovo went interesting, constructive and educative as expected! The members were not so “many”. However they learnt many new things from the Project Management area and some of them improved their previous skills learnt practically.

Eight members of the Blue Sky local club Kocani had the chance to participate on the partnership for Outdoor Education and Environment youth exchange project. Beside the members Lazar Ivanov (sport instructor) and Alekasandar (German teacher)as well as the mayor of Kocani Ljubomir Janev and one member from our municipality-Dragan Petrov were invited to Glaramara as observers of the activities that the participants were to do. On the POEE there were participants form Macedonia, England, Bulgaria and Albania

10.05.08 was the day when The PM Caravan visited Gevgelija. It was beautiful blue sky day again. The members of the club gathered in the local library before 12 AM. It was the place where the workshop was held.
