The visit to European institutions offered me the opportunity to experience Europe in a cultural, sociological, economical and organizational aspect. The organization of the \u201cOpen Days\u201d 04-07 October 2010 (eight year in a row) for all citizens and interested organizations, association, was on a very high and professional level. This promotion of the European culture was according to a previously announced program for participants that have previously registered for participation. Through my participation on one of the sessions in a European Commission building, from representatives of European institutions I had the opportunity to listen and learn about the conditions and challenges that EU faces and what are the visions for development and promotion of EU\u2019s work. On the session I participated an analysis was explained of measuring of the quality of life of EU citizens and what are its weaknesses. These expression are of significance in order to feel the European spirit, functioning of European institutions, EU\u2019s level of development and application of such experiences in R. Macedonia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Slavica Tasevska &#8211; Simonovik Project assistant<\/p>\n<p><em>This was a rare and unique opportunity to feel the finesse of democracy and to see the structures on which it rests in the heart of the European Union. This experience was for importance for further development of my personal capacities and my perception for the European Union, because the entire process was an opportunity to visit European Institutions up close as well as to see their organizational structure and sophistication of the work of the European Parliament and the European Commission. A special contribution for this were the meetings in the European Parliament, the meetings with the officials from the office of Mr. Baroso, the president of the European Commission as well as the gained experience from the lectures and workshops from the \u201cOpen Days\u201d, that showed the functioning of European processes and the European Union in all social segments.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Kani Mustafovski administrative worker<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This was of great significance for me, since this was my first time visit in such institutions. We held meetings with the first people from the European Parliament and European Commission. The way of functioning of such large events and institutions impressed me, because everything worked flawlessly. I also consider that this was very important for NRC as well. We exchanged significant information with high level official of the European Union where we represented NRC.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Slavica Curcinska NRC\u2019s head of education department<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I have had previous experiences and visits in the European Commission and the European Parliament. The intention for this initiative came from the idea that I had previously shared with my team members. The \u201cOpen Days\u201d were an opportunity to see and visit up close how European institutions function and what instruments and methods they use. Also a pleasure for me was that part of NRC\u2019s team had the opportunity to meet with several representatives from European institutions, like the European Parliament where we met with Livija Jaroka, a Roma Europarliamentarian. In these European institutions a meeting was also realized with Vivian Reding (deputy of the President of the European Commission Jose Manual Barosso). My colleagues from the NRC were pleasantly surprised of the way of functioning of the European institutions, the registration process and promotion of European values. My opinion from these meetings is that at least once a year, Roma organizations should hold meetings with these kind of representatives in order to create possibilities to transfer opinions and messages directly, which is by far a more efficient and more active method then just through documentation. What I saw through these meetings was that the Roma issue is strengthened in the agendas of the European institutions and it is moving slowly but upwards. The general conclusion is that every institution that has good working conditions and is appropriately paid has effects. It is difficult when an organization faces problems with finding finances and much is expected from it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Asmet Elezovski NRC manager<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>04 &#8211; 07 October 2010 Brussels On the 05 October 2010 NRC\u2019s team had the opportunity to participate on \u201eOpen Days\u201c 2010 in Brussels.
