Northern Greece -- Macedonia
Located in the north of the country, Macedonia is the largest prefecture in Greece. Many tribes and different ethnic groups have passed this way and their culture is reflected in the people who live there today. Using Thessaloniki as our base we explored the region from Xanthi to Kastoria, and from the olive-growing region of Halkidiki to the great archaeological sites of Pella, Vergina and Dion.

Violent Ethnic Riots erupt in Divided Macedonia
Violent ethnic riots rattled Macedonia's capital, culminating on Saturday with hundreds
raging through the city center, clashing with police, overturning cars and attacking a bus station. At least 22 people were injured, 13 of them police officers.
Ethnic Macedonians kicked off the protests in Skopje on Friday, angry at the appointment of an ethnic Albanian defense minister, a former rebel commander during the 2001 conflict that pitted the country's two main ethnic groups against each other.
Ethnic Albanians staged a counter-protest on Saturday, claiming that two Albanians were beaten and an Albanian flag burned Friday by ethnic Macedonians. Both protests turned violent, with ethnic Macedonians and Albanians taking turns to scuffle with police.

Painting Peace Project
The "Painting Peace" project was implemented on the national level by Mladiinfo Macedonia during the period June-October 2012. The project is part of the Youth Peace Ambassadors program of the Council of Europe youth sector being carried out between 2011 and 2013.
Macedonia, as a highly diverse and culturally rich society, has faced many challenges in securing peaceful co-existence and communication among the various ethnic groups. To encourage the dialogue between young people coming from different ethnic communities, the "Painting Peace" project aimed to empower 25 young people (aged 15 to 18 years) coming from different poor and ethnically mixed Macedonian cities and to develop their soft skills, intercultural sensitivity and understanding of human rights in order for them to live more peacefully in their community. The main objectives were to form a group of motivated youth leaders and provide them with skills to become peer-educators on peace-building and conflict-transformation in their communities, to develop competencies in peace-building and conflict transformation in all the participants through a one-week summer peace camp held in Struga in August 2012, to raise awareness of the importance of successful intercultural dialogue and human rights protection among the general public in the community through creating an art exhibition on these topics and to share existing stereotypes in their communities, deconstruct them and encourage youth activism through youth-led workshops on peace-building, human rights and intercultural dialogue. Through involvement in different simulation exercises, team-building exercises and debates they got to know each other better, they learned about different ethnic groups and they built their potential as important actors in the future of the peace-building process. They understood the importance of their role in the community as a part of the new generation who will be in charge to develop solidarity and promote tolerance among young people in order to foster social cohesion.
The paintings produced during the summer camp in Struga were displayed in September 2012 during the exhibition "My vision of peace" that was held in the Info Center of the European Commission in Skopje.

Macedonian in Greek Civil War 1946 - 1949
This is a video from the archive of Communist party of Greece about Greek civil war from 1946 to 1949 year .
From the merger in 1946 until the end of the Civil War, the NOF was loyal to the idea of a unified Greece and was fighting for human rights for all groups within the borders of the Greek republic. But Zachariadis, in order to mobilize more ethnic Macedonians into the DSE, declared on 31 January 1949 at the 5th Meeting of the KKE Central Committee:
" In Northern Greece the people of Macedonia gave its best for the struggle and fights on an integration of heroism and self-sacrifice that is admirable. There must be no doubt that as a result of the victory of DSE and of the peoples' revolution, the Macedonian people will find its full national restoration as they want it, offering its blood today to conquer it. The Macedonian communists are always in the front line of the struggle of their people. At the same time, the Macedonian Communists must be careful of disjunctive actions by foreign controlled chauvinists that want to dissolve the unity between the Macedonian and the Greek people. This actions will help only our common enemy, the monarch-fascism and English imperialism. At the same time, CPG must lift all the obstacles all the chauvinist actions that cause bad sentiments to the Macedonian people and therefore they help the chauvinists and in their actions of betrayal. The Greek and Slavic-Macedonian people can win only united. If they are divided they can only be defeated. That's why unity of the two people must be kept as a precious element and must be strengthened constantly and at any time

euronews learning world - The bilingualism challenge
http://www.euronews.com/ Language can be a double edged-sword in multi-lingual societies. It is a keystone of cultural identity but can be a barrier to integration and educational success. Two countries dealing with these challenges are South Africa and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Post apartheid South Africa has 11 official languages, but English is increasingly dominant. At some schools this is problematic for children who speak other languages at home. So how do they cope?
The small town of Elliot is home to a nine-year-old boy called Mbasa Sodladla. He has grown up speaking Xhosa, but South African schools do their exams in English and Afrikaans, so he has to learn a whole new language before he can understand his schoolwork. The result is an advantage for the English and Afrikaans children, and the marginalisation of African languages.
But luckily for Mbasa, his school is piloting a new approach to language. Elliot High School has adopted a ground-breaking new language policy, teaching children in two languages at the same time, their home language and English, for the first six years of school. They are taught in their mother tongue language from day one with teachers using Xhosa for instruction, and English as a support language.
Families feel more involved. Parents who have a low level of English can now help their children with their homework because it is in Xhosa.
This appears to be a step in the right direction towards fostering a truly multilingual society. It is a chance for children to have a far better education.
Being bilingual from birth can be an advantage, and increasingly teachers believe that foreign language teaching should start at nursery school. But what are the ramifications of this in a country like Macedonia?
Here tension exists between Albanian and Macedonian speaking communities. Nationalistic politicians create schools for their own ethnic group, thereby separating children. Experts agree that this lack of bilingual education will extend today's problems far in to the future.
But there are some exceptions, such as the 'MOZAIK' project in the Orce Nikolov Kinder-garden in Skopje. It offers bilingual education in fully integrated groups, bringing together children from Macedonian and Albanian speaking families.
The parents' participation in the childrens' lives at the kindergarten is important. Parents and teachers speak in their own language. From early morning to late afternoon, the group is in permanent contact with two teachers: one Albanian and one Macedonian speaking.
It is all about connecting to the other language group as early as possible. The inspiration for the project, which began operating in 1998, came from a bilingual kindergarten in Jerusalem that teaches both Hebrew and Arabic.
While there is a waiting list to join the MOZAIK project, in most Macedonian towns and villages, ethnic pressures still exist to opt for a single language approach. It is possible that the MOZAIK project could change the education system in the country and show that bilingualism is better for the future.
All over the world many people are brought up speaking two or more languages. So are two languages better than one?
More than 40 percent of children born in Paris in 2008 had at least one foreign parent, if not both. Despite that, French always dominates to the detriment of the child's second language.
One example is Sophie who has just turned five. She already speaks three languages. At home, she plays using both French and German with her father. And also Spanish with her mother. It sounds simple.
But her parents Cecilia and Simon asked for the advice of experts on what the ideal learning environment would be for their child.
One day a week, Sophie goes to a German school. Bilingualism has been a real success for this family, but for others it is a real headache.
That is when Barbara Abdelilah-Bauer, an expert on bilingualism and an advocate for the mixing of cultures, steps in. She is a psycho-sociologist specialising in bilingualism and has given dozens of couples advice on how to achieve a positive outcome for a child in a mixed language environment.
There are more than five million people in France with a mother tongue other than French, however they are hesitant to use it with their children.
At the Musée du Branly in Paris, extinct languages are well documented. Experts are aiming for a future where every language and culture has a place in the world.

History of Macedonians in Canada - Македонците во Канада
Macedonian Immigration to Canada
At the turn of the century, one of the largest groups of non-British settlers to arrive in Canada were villagers from the Balkan mountains, then part of the Turkish Empire. These early residents (and their descendants) call themselves Macedonians. They speak Macedonian, and have their own social and economic institutions including churches, fraternal and self-help organizations, and community-based enterprise, mainly in Metropolitan Toronto and the southern Ontario region.
The majority of Macedonians who migrated to Canada arrived in the aftermath of the Illinden Uprising of 1903 - a heroic but unsuccessful attempt by Macedonians to end Ottoman domination.
An internal group census in 1910 found about 1090 Macedonians in Toronto, principally from the provinces of Kostur (Kastoria) and Lerin (Florina), areas which were once important vilayets of the Ottoman Empire but are now identified as portions of northern Greece. By 1940 readers of various Macedonian political and nationalist almanacs were informed that there were upwards of 1200 families in Toronto.
The exodus of Macedonians from northern Greece was to continue in the aftermath of WWII and the Greek Civil War (1947-49). Immigration from Vardar (formerly Yugoslav) Macedonia and Pirin Macedonia in Bulgaria also began in the postwar period. This exodus gained momentum in the 1960s and continues to the present. Government indices of population are not helpful in determining the size of the community because Macedonians fell under the general heading of those from Turkey, Greece, Serbia (or Yugoslavia) and Bulgaria.
The most recent Canadian census (1996), which provides for self-declaration of ethnic origin records 30 915 Macedonians in Canada - the sum total of individuals making single- or multiple-group responses. Centered in Metropolitan Toronto, small groups of Macedonians could also be found elsewhere in Ontario in Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, Kitchener/Waterloo, Markham, Mississauga, Newmarket, Niagara Falls, St Catharines, Thornhill, Thorold and Windsor. Community spokespersons believe that there are actually 100-150 000 Macedonians in Canada.
Many early Macedonian immigrants found industrial work in Toronto, either as factory hands or labourers in abattoirs, local sheet metal industries, or iron and steel foundries. From these jobs, they quickly progressed to the ownership of a great number of restaurants, grocery stores and butcher shops. Macedonian entrepreneurs and their descendants eventually employed their numerical strength within the food service industry as a catapult into a variety of larger and more sophisticated ventures. The majority of Macedonians today are employed in the professional, clerical and service sector of the economy.

Vojvodina (english subtitles)
In Vojvodina, and along the Danube, during the period of settlement of this area (about 300 years ago when these territories were under Austro-Hungarian rule) settlements were created that were populated with a variety of ethnic groups from all over Europe. These settlements were intended to serve as the defensive bulwark of Christian Europe from the growing ambitions of the Ottoman Empire. Thus today we have villages in Vojvodina inhabited by Hungarians, Bunjevci, Šokci, Serbs from all over the Balkans, Slovaks, Romanians, Danube Swabians, Macedonians, Roma, Catholic Banat Bulgarians, Szekely Hungarians and others. Nowhere in Europe is there a region like this, where more than 25 different ethnic groups have been living together for nearly three centuries. People in these villages carefully guard their customs and traditions, cuisine and music, and so this unique piece of Europe's cultural heritage is an important part of Serbia's tourist programme. In the past year, much hard work has been done on polishing the tourist offering and raising the quality of tourist services in those villages that are best prepared for promotion as tourist destinations. In familiarizing themselves with the culture and traditions of these diverse ethnic communities, guests will visit and discover the other treasures of Vojvodina. Programs can last from a few hours up to 7 to 10 days, not only encompassing Vojvodina, but also other places in Serbia. The video clip that we have prepared will give you the chance to see just part of this programme and get a better picture of our wealth of diversity.

HLA genes in Macedonians and the sub-Saharan origin of the Greeks

HLA alleles have been determined in individuals from the Republic of Macedonia by DNA typing and sequencing. HLA-A, -B, -DR, -DQ allele frequencies and extended haplotypes have been for the first time determined and the results compared to those of other Mediterraneans, particularly with their neighbouring Greeks. Genetic distances, neighbor-joining dendrograms and correspondence analysis have been performed. The following conclusions have been reached:
1) Macedonians belong to the "older" Mediterranean substratum, like Iberians (including Basques), North Africans, Italians, French, Cretans, Jews, Lebanese, Turks (Anatolians), Armenians and Iranians,
2) Macedonians are not related with geographically close Greeks, who do not belong to the "older" Mediterranenan substratum,
3) Greeks are found to have a substantial relatedness to sub-Saharan (Ethiopian) people, which separate them from other Mediterranean groups. Both Greeks and Ethiopians share quasi-specific DRB1 alleles, such as *0305, *0307, *0411, *0413, *0416, *0417, *0420, *1110, *1112, *1304 and *1310. Genetic distances are closer between Greeks and Ethiopian/sub-Saharan groups than to any other Mediterranean group and finally Greeks cluster with Ethiopians/sub-Saharans in both neighbour joining dendrograms and correspondence analyses. The time period when these relationships might have occurred was ancient but uncertain and might be related to the displacement of Egyptian-Ethiopian people living in pharaonic Egypt.

euronews hi-tech - From idea to prototype
http://www.euronews.com/ Some 20 kilometres from Skopje in the Macedonian countryside lies Hi-Tech, a company which specialises in manufacturing circuit boards, the electric hearts of the many technological devices we use everyday.
Its company philosophy is simple; it transforms ideas into prototypes. Big factories often are unable to quickly run up a prototype for the electronics in a new device, they are too big and slow. But this factory can produce a prototype in a few days or even a few hours.
