Rula Chalamani, 23 years old born in Bitola North Macedonia. Having lived in Thesssaloniki for 6 years now for my undergraduate and postgraduate studies, I’ve met fabulous people and learned about Greek culture with which I felt in love immediately. My experience in serving the community as a Rotaract member, but also as a PR volunteer in Pelagonia Association will surely be of great help while being an active participant in the Cooperation for Common Future initiative as Regional Ambassador. I will put in use the acquaintance in depth with both cultures and countries, North Macedonia and Greece, to achieve strengthened relationships between young people and youth societies by the end of this opportunity I’ve been granted and am so grateful of.

My name is Bojana Vaskov, I am 22 years old and I am currently doing my MA in Clinical Neuropsychology in Thessaloniki, Greece. I was born and raised in Skopje, North Macedonia, where I finished my education until high school, after which I moved to Thessaloniki to get my BSc in Psychology. I am extremely interested in mental health, interpersonal relationships, and exploring and learning about new cultures and countries. My close friends and family would describe me as an ambitious, outgoing, and adventurous person.

I am an enthusiastic language learner, student of German language and literature and a graduate theatre actor. I love travelling and I always felt like an ambassador of my country. Representing a country, culture and a nation are a pleasure for me and building bridges in-between.

My name is Symeon Konstantinou. I was born in Athens, Greece in 2002 and since 2008 I live in Florina. I am a second-year student at Democritus University of Thrace, Department of History and Ethnology. I am a C2 (Proficient User), ESB C2 holder, so I speak English quite fluently. From an early age I found myself engaged with traditional dance since both my parents are well known traditional dance teachers.In fact, since 1986, they have been organizing the Greek Traditional Dance Seminar taking place in the Prespa region , a most significant event concerning the cultural activities in Western Macedonia. Living near the borders, I have always been interested and eventually started to study the history of the whole Balkan area, As a result , this has triggered my motivation for my studies at university. The rich musical tradition of the Balkans led me to the study of traditional music and specifically , percussions. As a member of the Association of Greek Traditional Dances “Lygkistes”, I have participated in numerous performances and festivals in Greece and abroad (Bulgaria, Poland, the USA, France, Italy, Germany, Albania, North Macedonia), spreading the dance and music tradition of Greece and my hometown Florina. I am an active member of the association “ Active youths (OENEF)of Florina, a Non-Governmental association having as main goal to promote and support Active Youth Participation in society and also to encourage and empower our youth’s contribution to issues of social, cultural and environmental interest. Through this experience I was given the opportunity to participate in several voluntary activities and European Erasmus programs, some of which were in Marienberg ,Germany and in Krusevo , North Macedonia.

I am an undergraduate student in Balkan, Slavic, and Oriental studies. Although 21, I study, do my internship, work, I am co-founder of "SEE in Action" and manage all Social media accounts, website, create the context, and I am generally responsible for the attractiveness of our organization. I love traveling, meeting different cultures, eating strange food, and mingling with other people. I speak 4 different languages, I am creative, ambitious, and want to contribute just a tiny bit to a more appealing reality.
