Aces (Academy of Central European schools)

ACES is formed in 2006 by ERSTE Foundation in cooperation with Interkulturelles Zentrum (Vienna, Austria). In 2009 VEL DOM (Bratislava, Slovakia) joined the partnership. The purpose of this foundation is to enhance the active participation of students and teachers, to encourage youth dialogue and cooperation, knowledge sharing and mutual learning in exchange with international cooperation. Aces offers opportunities for young people from Central and South-Eastern Europe to develop new friendships and across borders, but also to participate in international projects. One of the positive features of the Aces is to encourage students and teachers to engage in intercultural exchange with an annual competition for school and partnership projects. Participants work together on issues of common interest and to develop new perspectives on regional and European level. Topic aces for the 2012/13 year is a "reality check - how you look and construction of the world through the media." Currently this project we have 15 partner countries of Central and Southeastern Europe: Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. Each of these countries has a partner country that implemented and working partnership projects in internatiol cooperation. Schools of these countries participate in the activities of aces. The duration of of this project takes almost one school year (7 months). This project work students from 12 to 17 years. Academy focuses on European themes and also supports innovative ways of teaching and learning in order to contribute to the process of European integration and the promotion of European citizenship. .Also the goal of this project is to come to a common vision for the future of Europe.

ACES PROJECT NB.5 TOGETHER WE CHOOSE ,CREATE AND MAKE OUR FUTURE MACEDONIA-CROATIA-SERBIA
Our children are growing up in a media age in which mass communications are both widely available and highly influential. This is at once a benefit and a problem .The main aim of our project is to promote intercultural dialogue among pupils and teachers from different schools. At the same time we want to create critical thinking about media. Media has a great influence to our youth and it is important to develop selective behavior about information offered in media With this project, students themselves will earn to select displayed data and to produce their own. The project is focus on media literacy and production of custom media products. This project have several concrete products depending on the three parts that it l consist of. At the end of the first part pupils of each school was made their own video commercial on the theme they choose as the most appropriate. Students also create an educational game about Internet safety. By making a maze through which you pass by answering questions and collecting useful tips, they saw that learning can be also interesting and fun. After collecting information each school was made a short documentary film on that subject. All obtained results and concrete products of the project was published on common blog and students were able to discuss each product (film, video, game). Final report for the whole project is been published in joined newspaper in four languages: English, Croatian, Macedonian and Serbian. It contain general information about each school and country, data about the aces program and reports on implemented workshops, activities and visits.

When the region was conquered by the Ottoman Empire, Kievo was turned into the military and administrative center of the region. Notable monument of that period is a clock tower built in the foothills of the nearby hill called Kichevsko Kale. The activities of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO) in the region of Kievo were initiated by the priest Josif from the monastery of Bogorodica Preista near the city, supported by many teachers from the neighbouring villages. Priest Josif and Pere Toshev formed the first armed detachment in Kievo in 1878, led by Duko Tasev. On August 2, 1903, the citizens of Kievo joined the struggle for Macedonian independence, led by Arso Vojvoda and Yordan Piperkata. In 1919 Kievo and the whole region were incorporated in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. During World War II, Kievo was occupied by forces from Fascist Italy. On September 9, 1943 Albanian and Macedonian partisan units disarmed the Italian garrison and took control of the city Monastery of St. Bogorodica Preista (Monastery of Immaculate Mother of God) is a significant monastery near Kievo.

PROJECT PARTNER-SERBIA OSSVETI SAVA-PIROT

Pirot is a town that charms you at your first visit. When you enter the town, you can see a beautiful fortress called Momcilov grad *The fortress of Momcilo, the duke*. It is a testimony of its turbulent past times. As if the whispering voices of the past heroes, who had defended their home place,could be heard from the walls in its silence and mystique. If you look at the landscape, you can see the slopes of the Stara Mountain and its highest mountain peak Midzor (2169m) It is breath-taking and you would like to come back and visit it again. The Nisava River flows through the town and you can enjoy the walking paths along the both banks. In the season, the scent of the blooming linens could be felt, spreading through the whole town. On the other hand, mountain rivers come as they are: placid, winding, tender and angry. However, the very jewel of our home place is Zavojsko Lake. It is true paradise for fishemen, hikers, campers and all other nature lovers. Finally, people call our hometown Little Jerusalem for it has planty of churches and monasteries scattered throughout its vicinity. They treasure the core of our nation and cultural heritage. The town itself has four primary schools, one of which is the primary school Sveti Sava. Proudly, it shares the name of the first Serbian schoolar who implemented the idea of enlightment, Archbishop, healer and a teacher, Saint Sava (Sveti Sava). Both being proud of tradition and having a clear vision of the future are the distinctive features of our respectable school with qualified teachers who are skilled in modern and effective teaching. At the same time, it provides the positive working environment. We conduce towards skillful and highly profesional work with our students in our school. Also, noticable success is gained by nourishing the team work and profesional development. High-standard facilities which we tend to equip properly provide conditions for modern, quality and effective teaching. In addition, we keep improving communication with both the parents of our students and the local community. Apart from the noticable success on the contests patronized by the Ministry of Education, primary school Sveti Sava teachers pay attantion to and activly take part in numerous projects announced at state and international level. Last year, our team realised eleven projects everyone of which being equally impotant both on the state and international level.

Together in Kicevo
This year, my school participated in an international project. 14 students from our school went to Macedonia. Our projects name is Togehter we choose and create our future. Besides our school from Pirot, Serbia and school from Kicevo, Macedonia, children from Croatia, participated as well.Departure was in front of our school on 18th of October. We travelled by bus. After 7 hours of travelling we arrived at Kicevo. Each of us found his friend from Kicevo, where we were supposed to sleep. My friends name was Filip Naumovski. He is great. He has an older brother named Andrej. Filip goes to primary school Kuzman Josifovski Pitu, and he is an excellent student.Hosts from Macedonia prepared a ceremony of their school to welcome us and Croats. There were a lot of dancing, singing, socializing.... After the welcome, we tried some traditional Macedonian food, and we also ate a special prepared food on barbeque. After the dinner I went to Filips home, and we played some computer games. Later we went to the party. There was a lot of music and juices, but me and my friends from Pirot did not play. Filip and me were bored, so we went home at around half past ten.The next day we had a workshop called Icebreaker. After that we had another workshop on how to use cameras and fotocameras. We had a job to create a cover page about fashion. That was funny, because in our team were only boys, and we named our cover page ULTRA FASHION. Then we had a break. After the break we had another workshop, about interview journalist. We had a job to describe the characteristics of Arnold Scwarzeneger. One of jounalist called Vlatko, told us something about editing and playback. After these workshops we had a break for lunch. Then went on a trip to Ohrid. I have never been to Ohrid. First, we went to National workshop for making paper. We saw a Guttenberg printing machine there. Then we visited the city center. We saw a lot of interesting mosaics and a lots of beautiful constructions. We saw Platisnik, Samoils fortress, and St. Kaneoschurch. We back to hosts home about 9 p.m. The next day we went on an excursion to the capital city of Macedonia, Skopje. We first visited the Macedonian Radio Television. We saw a lot of space and cameras and we also met some journalists and reporters. They were all friendly and described us how the TV station works. After visiting the Macedonian Radio Television, we got the lunch packet. After the lunch break, we went to visit Skopje. Skopje is a very beautifull city, full of monuments, tall buildings, shopping centers... The mot beautifull monument and fountain to me is statue of Alexander the Great (Macedonian) After touring the city, we went to a big shopping centre. First we visited Mc Donalds. After that our teacher invited us to watch 7D movies. That was fantastic. We watched a film about snakes , mouses and mosquitos. After 7D movies we went to a game room. Aleksa and me played billiar vs Filip and Alksas friend Kristijan. We defeated them. About 16 oclock we went to Filips home in Kicevo. We rested a bit and we played a few games on the computer. We had a special dinner in hotel Kicevo. The next day, Sunday, was the last day of socializing. We had one workshop about Creating meduim message. Hosts from Macedonia, gave us a red T -shirt, labeled Kicevo Macedonia and a yellow folder with notepad and pen. About 9 a.m. we went home in Pirot. All were sad and crying, but I didnt know why, because we will see in February in Pirot. The waiter took a lot of picture of us together with big letters A C E S. That was an amazing experience. I hope that children from Macedonia and Croatia will visit Pirot, and I hope we'll have great time again. Luka Velkov, Serbia

What we have learned on our workshops... Advice and tips for staying safe online
It's always a good idea to make sure a parent, teacher or guardian knows when you're surfing the net. That way, if you see or are sent anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or upset while you're online, you can tell them. What information shouldn't I put online? Don't give out any personal information online as people may use it to contact you when you don't want them to. Unless you have an adult's permission, never give out:

Your real name or your friends' names Your home, school or email address Your home or mobile phone numbers A photo of yourself Your parents' bank or credit card details
Can I meet people I meet online in person? Don't arrange to meet anyone you've met online, no matter how well you think you know them, without your parent or carer's permission. Meeting someone you've only been in touch with online can be dangerous as they may have been lying about who they are. Even if you get permission, make sure you have an adult with you when you meet for the first time. What if I'm asked to register on a website? If a website asks you to register online and you have to fill out an email form, always ask for an adult's opinion. If you do register, never use your real name as your online screen name or nickname. Very often the website is just trying to sell you something. Do passwords keep you safe? Only if you keep them completely secret - don't even tell your best friend. And try not to use names of your family or pets, because people can guess them quite easily. Use a mix of letters and numbers instead. Is email safe? Sending and receiving emails between family and friends is usually OK. But don't open emails, downloads or attachments from people you don't know or trust as they could contain a computer virus or unwanted messages. The best thing to do is to delete them. What should I do if I get a dodgy email? If you get an email with rude or unpleasant things in it, tell a responsible adult straight away and DON'T REPLY to it! Remember that it's not your fault someone has sent it to you. Can I block unwanted email? Spam, or unwanted emails, make up half of all emails sent around the world. They are usually meant for adults and can be upsetting for children.

12

There is special software which can stop spam getting into your inbox. Speak to your parents about the software if you are at all worried. Most internet and email companies, like yahoo, hotmail and AOL, have systems in place to block spam, and they're working to improve them all the time. What is private chat? This is using part of a chatroom where other people can't see what you're saying. Never agree to a private chat with someone unless you already know them face-to-face, in real life. You can also have private chats on "instant messaging". Instant messaging - sometimes shortened to IM - is a computer program that allows you to send messages that other users receive straight away. It is best only to do this with people you already know in real life.

If you get to a chatroom through instant messaging, remember to follow the same safety rules you would use if you were chatting anywhere else. What about social networking sites?

Social networking sites are places where you can keep in touch with friends and let people know what you're up to. Popular ones include Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. You normally have to be at least 13 to register on them, and even then you often need your parents' permission. They can be dangerous though because you must be careful not to post personal information about yourself. Also, you must keep your password to yourself, or else people could write nasty things pretending to be you

What is cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying is when children or teenagers use the web, or mobile phones or any other technology to threaten, tease or embarrass another young person. Nasty messages are just one form of cyberbullying. Often bullies set up a website or group on a social media website like Facebook and then ask other people to join in and comment about a person or images of them. But it can also include things like emailing someone a virus on purpose, posting personal information where it shouldn't be or calling them names when playing a game together online. Cyberbullies can't cause physical pain, but because of the way we now live our lives - with mobile phones and lots of internet use - they can be very hard to avoid. Another big difference between normal bulling and cyberbullying is that it's often difficult to work out who the cyberbullies are, as they can hide behind fake names. What can you do to stop it? The best advice is to avoid the methods used by cyberbullies. That means staying away from websites they use and blocking email addresses or mobile numbers that send nasty messages. Regularly check and clean your 'friends' lists on social networking sites too. Find the 'report abuse' or 'block sender' options on your favourite websites. Changing your username may also help and don't give out personal details such as your mobile number, address or email online. Protect your password too to keep your files and information safe. You should also report the bullying to the people running the website, technology service or your mobile phone service provider.

13

Keep evidence - callers and mailers can be traced. But also remember that sites you've created and emails you've sent can be traced back to you months or years later too. And as with all bullying, telling an adult it's happening is REALLY important too.

IMPRESSION FROM MACEDONIA

The moment that we were so looking forward ha finally come. We have welcomed the guests, our fellow students of the Elementary School St. Sava from Pirot, Serbia and the Elementary School Bjelicafrom Bjelica,Croatia. Knowing that we will spend so little time together, we tried to forget about that and make each moment count, and wanted them to be thrilled by their visit to a foreign country. We were especially honored to see them here in Macedonia. We were ready to take each of our new friend in our homes, right after their arrival. The social networks helped us meet even before they came, but knowing them in person is a lot better. We were nervous at the beginig but that only lastet for five minutes. The teachers included in the ACES project, had previously instructed us to gather that same afternoon, at our school Kuzman Josifoski Pitu. Because we have promiced to play by the rules, each of us had arrived at the school having our new friend along with us. Our task was to present them our traditions, music and food. We were greeted by the meyer of Municipality of Kicevo, mr. Blagoja Despotoski, our Pricipal, mr. Orce Naumoski and the Coordinator of the ACES project, our teacher mrs. Elizabeta Arsoska. After seeng some of us perform macedonina songs, folk dances and plays, they were delighted by tasting our food which tradition dates back for centuries. That evening the students acompanied by our teachers went to a party at our friends house. It didnt last too long because we had an early start the next morning and so many new things to learn. At 8 oclock the next morning, we met at Hotel Kicevo , where we had our first work-shop called, Media literacyWe had a lot of fun listening real experts talk about taking fotographs, how media works, usage of the camera, and creating newspapers. At 2pm we gathered together again and traveled by bus to our most visited town in Macedonia, Ohrid, were the first thing we did was to visit to a paper factory and we were taught all about the paper making process. After that of course everybody wanted to see the town, its natural beauties, the monasteries At the return back in Kicevo we had dinner at the Hotel, and again we went home early because the next day had a busy schedule again. And that was the trip to our capital, Skopje, where we visited the Macedonian radio and television (MRT), and we learned how tv programs are being made. Of course we made sure we had enough time to go sight seeing an walk around the malls, where we had so much fun. It was a long day, we finished it back in Kicevo. The last day in the Hotel Kicevo, we had a lecture on the Social networks and their impact, i.e how useful they can be, but also about the damage they can do, especially to young people like us. And so it came the end of our friends visit. They all had to go back to their homes. It was really sad to see them go, becauso although we speek defernt languages, we became so close during those tree days that, it seemed as we had known them for an entire life. Acording to the next part of the ACES project is our visit to Serbia, where we hope to meet new friend, learn new things and have an unforgetible time.

National Workshop for Handmade Paper "St. Kliment Ohridski"-Ohrid

The tradition of making a paper in Macedonia begins from the second half of 16th century in the monastery of "St. Naum". It was used for internal needs in limited quantity. Ohrid continues this tradition. It has started with work from 23.10.2002. The workshop is placed in the magnificent part of the old city, next to the National Museum - Robev family house. Method of printing is identical as first copy of the Bible from 15 century. This press is rare and authentic copy of the original that is in the museum in Mainz - Germany. Works in same way. Press is build in 1937 in Austria, it is one of two in Europe together with one in Bled - Slovenia. Method of printing is identical as first copy of the Bible from 15 century. The paper is made by method that dates from 2 century B.C. in China, so cald method of nest of a bee. For making the paper it use different kinds of trees, but most quality paper is from tree of cherry. Some say the sting of a bee is with the most perfect natural structure. Knitting is natural without using any chemicals, glues, resin or other substances. Prepared substance in special wooden trough, with special sieve (wooden with metal net) holds this substance and after drain off the water, sets on the surface. With pressure this Lear on the sieve equally brings enough on the filc. Sheet is formed (depends of shape of the sieve, we have 4 formats of sieves). We use different kind of filc : cotton, hemp, bamboo reed etc. Sheet has to be draw out to take out extra of water. Drawing out is in special press between two wooden plates. Than sheet is taken to drying after half an hour. Drying is natural (with hanging) long minimum two days (depends of weather conditions). Drying sheet is a part from filc and goes in to the same press to be equalized because during drying method sheet gets wrinkled. To be equalized takes 12-15 hours. Sheet to be equal has to be in same press (where draw out) into pressure between two wooden plates. After all we have prepared sheet of paper where we can draw, write, print etc. For decoration of the paper in trough with substance we use natural additives: dry flowers, dry lives, silk of corn, straws of wheat, pieces of wood, pieces of reed from the lake, gingko, parsley, etc. For coloring the paper we use natural colors from extracting flowers and leaves. There are 4 primary colors with mixture we get about 16 shades.

Nae putovanje u Makedoniju

ACES project e mi ostati u lijepom sjeanju. Upoznali smo nae vrnjake iz drugih drava i s njima proveli nezaboravne trenutke. Vidjeli smo mjesta koja ne moemo posjetiti svaki dan te nauili neto novo o medijima. Putovanje iz Belice u Kievo trajalo je vie od 16 sati. Kad smo stigli, smjestili smo se kod naih domaina, malo odmorili i krenuli na priredbu koju su uenici pripremili za nas. Nakon priredbe, nai novi prijatelji pripremili su nam zabavu koju emo dugo pamtiti. Sljedeih dana posjetili smo Ohridsko jezero i Makedonsku nacionalnu televiziju u glavnom gradu Skopju. Tijekom naeg boravka u Makedoniji, stekli smo neprocjenjivo znanje o koritenju i stvaranju tradicionalnih i modernih medijskih proizvoda. A najvanije, stekli smo prijatelje za cijeli ivot. Kad je dolo vrijeme za odlazak kuama, bilo nam je teko otii. Plakali smo jer je naem putovanju doao kraj. S novim prijateljima smo ostali u kontaktu, ali se nadamo da emo se jednog dana ponovno sresti. (Ana-Marija Oreki, Hrvatska)

Our trip to Macedonia

The ACES project will stay in a very nice memory. We have met our peers from other countries and we spend unforgettable moments with them. We saw places that we cant visit every day and learned something new about media. The journey from Belica to Kievo was pretty long, it lasted more than 16 hours. When we arrived there, we were placed in homes of our hosts, rested for a short while, and went to the culture event that they have prepared for us. After the performance, our new friends prepared a party that we will all remember for a long time. On the following days, we visited Lake Ohrid and the Macedonian National Television in capital city Skopje. During our stay Macedonia, we have gained priceless knowledge about using and producing traditional and modern media products, and the most important; we met friends for the rest of our lives. When the time to go home has come, it was very hard to leave. We were all crying because our journey has come to an end. We have stayed in touch with our new friends, but we hope that someday we will meet again. (Ana-Marija Oreki, Croatia)
