Comments by Participants

“The experience with the School of Public Policy is a special pleasure and spiritual enrichment because it gives opportunity to have open and constructive debates on different topics in the society and also, to meet and socialize with people from the intellectual elite in the country and beyond”

Darko Pavlovski (Lawyer to the European Court of Human rights in Strasbourg, France)

“School of Public Policy Mother Teresa is a great networking opportunity for civic activists of all generations in Macedonia by creating a forum to exchange ideas and opinions about current, past and future challenges of our society. This school is a rare opportunity for consideration of the domestic social problems in an international context, and the opening scene of the international issues that have an impact on domestic social trends “

Katerina Todorovska ( MA European Studies at the University of Hamburg, Germany)

“Unforgettable experience accompanied by moments of professionalism and friendship with a group of promising young people, future leaders in their fields. Professional debates, acquired new skills in the process of reproduction public policies, and mutual exchange of views on given issues, is a solid foundation upon which this school is building its future and promote the future of its participants. “

Oliver Stanoeski (Ph.D. and an associate of the Institute for Security, Defence and Peace at the Faculty of Philosophy)

“Participation in the School of Public Policy” Mother Teresa “is a very positive experience because through organized lectures from renowned lecturers, it gives the opportunity to meet and deepen the knowledge of current issues of domestic and international politics. The quality and reputation of the school speaks mostly by the fact that it is supported and funded by the Council of Europe. One of the most important things in the participation of this school is the wonderful atmosphere for work that presents a good foundation for acquisition of new honest friendships that will continue to be further maintained. Eventually, I would like to extend my gratitude to the organizing team for their professional spirit but also comradely attitude towards all participants in the first generation of school. “

Lindita Sakiri Atanasova (Municipality of Aerodrom Advisor).

“I thank the CRPM for the wonderful experience the School of Public Policy “Mother Teresa ” gave to me. Within the school, I met wonderful young and smart people, created significant contacts, not only in the private sphere but to the professional one as well, with people with whom they collaborate today. It is worth mentioning the session in Strasbourg that makes this school irreplaceable “

Comments by Participants

Being part of the School of Public Policy “Mother Theresa” was an incredible and enriching professional and personal experience for me. It gave me unique chance to meet young leaders with diverse educational and professional background, offering at the same time excellent forum for networking and exchange of experiences and ideas. The participation on the variety of seminars and number of one day events, through which economic, social and political challenges which affect the Macedonian society were openly discussed, was crowned with the opportunity to participate on the Strasbourg World Forum for Democracy organized by the Council of Europe. Thank you CRPM for giving me this irreplaceable opportunity to challenge my perception, knowledge and reality, and above all to meet all these amazing people.

Martina Smilevska, МА

The participation of the School of Public Policy is a truly unique experience for me in many ways. As an academic experience, it treats an extremely wide spectrum of areas. Professionally, it provides an opportunity to build a strong national and international network. Socially and humanly, itrepresents a forum for opposing views of exceptional individuals that upgrade each other. I would especially emphasize the participation of the World Forum for Democracy, as a unique experience and a truly unique concept for society’s return to a true
participatory democracy and the redefinition of the concept of citizenship.

VesnaPoposka, MA

I am honored and satisfied to have participated in the public sessions organized by the school of public policy “Mother Theresa” and CPRM. During these sessions we attained a lot of new knowledge and experiences; we met new friends, and we also showed an example that the young people of our country can cooperate and co-exist very well. Above all we learned to respect diversity, i.e. different opinions given by others. The multiethnic atmosphere and the interaction during the sessions in Macedonia, especially during the sessions in Strasburg, as well as the accompaniment, left an unforgettable impression, and at the same time it provided an excellent experience for all the participants. Lastly I would like to thank the organizing team of the school and the centre for the professionalism, correctness, and due relation towards all the participants, especially towards me.

Comments by Participants

Being engaged in the CRPM School of Public Policy “Mother Theresa” is a privilege and opportunity that one must not miss. A multicultural environment where young academic people coming from different society branches; Public Institutions; NGOs; Governmental Institutions and others meet occasionally and have a chance to discuss and debate on the different state policies that are organized in very professional lectures; speeches and presentations delivered by International and National academicians, diplomats and other public persons. Discussions and analysis resulting by both lecturers and participants could be a strong basis having an impact on the reforms of the state policies leading to the benefit of all citizens of the country. Finally, the nice and warm atmosphere that is led by the CRPM Management makes a strong foundation for a great and long lasting network of people you meet in this school. I really appreciate that Council of Europe and CRPM made me part of the third generation.

Shukriana Statovci

The participation at the School of Policy |Mother Theresa| is a wonderful experience for me. Having the opportunity to listen to inspiring presentations delivered by renowned domestic and foreign experts, and fruitfully discussing with them, is a great honor and pleasure. On the other hand, networking with young people who tend to be future leaders in various spheres of Macedonian society is a real highlight.

Ivan Stefanovski

One of the many things that make this school so fascinating is the mad intensity of activities. Every week I meet another extraordinary lecturer, whose lecture usually hits me like a thunder, and at the same time enlightens me like a lightning. Big thanks to the team of the school. I look forward to the next lecture!

Ivan Denkovski

School of Public Policy “Mother Theresa” offers a rare opportunity to acquire new knowledge from several areas, with special emphasis on public policy. School is a perfect blend of different profiles of young intellectuals, full of enthusiasm and desire for new knowledge and experiences. Participation in the sessions of the School is an exceptional experience, both in terms of the selection of lecturers and topics that are discussed, and in terms of personal contacts, cooperation, harmonious relations, friendship and the exchange of views and ideas among participants. The impression is unique: it is a pleasure to be part of the School, in every aspect.

Comments by Participants

The School of Public Policy Mother Teresa focuses on a combination of unique lectures about current issues of domestic and international politics and unique chance to meet young intellectuals. Imagine sitting in group of promising young people, listening to lectures, taking notes and participating in debates…. This is the way in which this school upgrades your knowledge. In fact, this school literally feeds your brain with new knowledge and new skills. Namely, you will be challenged to study more than you thought possible.

Marija VELJOVSKA KONDOVSKA

It was a wonderful experience that you can only dream off. I express many thanks to CRPM and School of Public Policy “Mother Teresa” that allow me to be part of this school. In the past period I gained a wonderful experience and knowledge in terms of European values and practice of democracy on a higher level and from a different perspective and of course, the possibility of spreading and exchanging of new experiences and friendships in Macedonia and abroad.

Petar SHAPE

The participation in the School of Public Policy “Mother Theresa” for me is a wonderful experience, both professionally and personally.

Active participation in joint activities with people from different professional profiles is in itself a huge benefit to develop your own personality, to gain diverse experiences and enrich the network of contacts with young, successful and promising individuals which become permanent and sincere friendships.

Through a series of top lecturers and experts in their fields, the School of Public Policy “Mother Teresa” offers an opportunity to meet with many areas and aspects of cultural and social order of our society, but also more broadly in the international context, which makes it a real choice for every young person who wants to invest in its future.

Participating at School of Public policy Mother Tereza for me was a great challenge. First of all, during the one year period I was up to date with all the latest and most important issues on local, regional and global level. Also, I meet great persons during the activities and last but not least I made a great progress and collect a great experience from all presented information. Now I’am sure that I’am closer to my next aim. All this, thanks to the CRPM team!

Ilija Nikolovski

The School of Public Policy “Mother Teresa” is a cutting-edge school which offers a great opportunity for highly qualified participants to enter into polemics, to argument their views and to debate on important national, regional, European and global issues. It is an ideal place for breaking the personal limits, for developing the socio-cultural knowledge and for making new friendships with people from different backgrounds. In other words, the school is a unique educational and life experience which opens the mind, enriches the spirit and widens the horizons of the participants.

Daniel Trenchov

It has been a wonderful experience to be part of this school as it gave me great expert insight in the current events happening in our country and their influence on the public policy process. Also the discussions regarding the permanent issues that our public policy decision makers are trying to tackle for the last 20 years were pretty beneficial as their resolution is crucial for the future of Macedonia. Last but not least, the chance for networking and debating that was enabled through this school is one of the highlights of my time spent there especially bearing in mind that there are not many places in our country where people that come from different ideological backgrounds can exchange their opinions in civilized manner.

Aleksandar Klashninovski

Participation in The School of Public Policy Mother Teresa is such a great experience and a privilege. Thanks to the national and international experts and their inspirational lectures we have been provided with exchange of ideas, opinions, experiences and it was certainly a place where practitioners, academics, experts as well as young leaders were gathered, all of them recognized in their field of competence. The organizing team of the School of Public Policy Mother Teresa, Center for Research and Policy Making, Council of Europe, all the lecturers and guest speakers of the School through their sessions and seminars inspired us all to think globally and act regionally.

Еlena Radeva

School of Public Policy Mother Teresa creates one large family. I am honored to be part of the family. Through lectures and debates to receive information on the topics covered in the school and the friendship and cooperation of the students of the school that I fully realize the vision of the school – leadership in the promotion of democratic values.

The School for Public Policy Mother Theresa is a place where I succeeded to suit my need for beautiful and useful. It is a school where young people have an opportunity to develop their values, skills and competences. What did I learn? I acknowledged that the future always starts today. I managed to strengthen and upgrade my own attitude so that I can be in a position to build new respect. I set my limit of judgment towards which we come with emotion and critical reasoning judgment, concusion. The great team of lecturers and the opportunity to debate and panel discussion have provided an upgrade of my knowledge. The value of the great colleagues and friends is priceless which I consider to be eternal. People say:”There is no royal way of learning”, but here it was too easy. It presents an honor, pleasure and marvelous experience to be part of this school.
