As everybody know, getting to Macedonia is really complicated, but when life takes you, it becomes quite easy. I could say that my trip to Macedonia had already started 2 years ago in Portugal. With my Erasmus I started my life abroad. There, I met the classmate ever, chatting, travelling (and, of course, drinking vodka) I knew this country and I was really looking forward to going there. I could come to this land that I had been dreaming of the last year.

When informal surpasses formal: Turkish experience |
|
Wednesday, 25 January 2012 12:57 |

Note: as the title explains, in the down-written sentences, I will try to avoid the frame of formality. I would not like to sound like a tourist guide (even though a collection of brochures stares at me waiting to be used, while I am writing this article). I do not want to sound official by only extending the schedule of the training course which I visited (although I would not have to be creative in adding activities, because the schedule was 'thick' enough- the 20 hours of constant sleep after the return to Macedonia confirm it). I do not want to write just in order to fill place in this already colorful magazine (the fulfilling events in Turkey, do not allow me this). I only want to manage to present even a glimpse of my unique Turkish experience (albeit I believe that it is impossible to explain something that it is breathtaking even in the moments of actual presence).
In the middle of December, the last 2011, it happened by fortuity for me to go on a training course called “A new leader is born for Europe”, located in Cadirli (a town situated in the Asian part of Turkey). As a new and scarcely-activated member of VCS (NGO), and at the same time a representative of the Macedonian Civil society (a role indented to me and my team partner, since we were the only two from our country there) , after brief preparation and in half-confusion (because of the expectations of the this trip, first from this type in our life), we headed for Turkey.
