1. Hi Filip, how are you? I would kindly ask you to introduce yourself to the Bellspiration readers so that we all can get to know you? Hello everyone, I am Filip Taskovski, I live in Macedonia, a student of economics. I am currently in my fourth year of college, and of course, I plan to pursue a master's degree. From a professional point of view, I am most attracted to numbers and finances, and from a private point of view, I want a lot of friendship, social life, and personal upgrading and travel. My hobby that I practice every day is shooting with an air rifle, I do it because it relaxes me and helps me solve problems. 2. Would you share with us what youth activism means to you and how important it is for a young person in his/her personal development? By youth activism I mean the struggle of young people to be included in social life, it means not to accept the things that are imposed on them but to fight to make the decisions that affect them. Youth activism is very useful for

1) Dear Joana, would you be kind and tell us who Joana really is, what she dreams about, what she likes, and what does she do? For the readers of the Bellspiration blog, introduce yourself, so we can all get to know you :) Hi everyone! I am 25 years old; born and raised in Portugal, currently living in Porto. I am curious by nature so I often am doing more things than I have the time to do because I enjoy a lot of different things. Most of them have interculturality or youth work in common, some are just chocolate.  I dream about a world with less inequalities, one where people feel empowered to take space and own their ambitions, but also fears. I am currently leaving my current job where I teach English, and manage Erasmus+ and other international projects to teenagers and from June I will be working in an intercontinental university network as a Project Manager. Did I mention I do too much? I am also an active volunteer of two NGOs, I'm in the final year of my master’s degree in

1)  Dragi Luka, da li bi bio ljubazan i ispričao nam ko je zaista Luka, o čemu sanja, šta voli i čime se to on sve bavi? Za čitaoce Bellspiration bloga, predstavi nam se, da te svi upoznamo. Luka je osoba kojoj obično kažu da izgleda starije nego što jeste, ali ne i da se tako ponaša. Da razjasnim već sada - daleko sam od ’’neozbiljnog’’, samo mislim da u životu čovek treba da bude veseo i da se zabavlja, kako sa ozbiljnim, tako i sa manje ozbiljnim stvarima. Profesorka iz gimnazije koja mi nije predavala i sa kojom sam se viđao jedino na hodniku sve četiri godine, rekla mi je na maturi da se nije desilo da smo se sreli a da joj se nisam uz ’’dobar dan’’ i iskreno osmehnuo. Tada sam i na ličnom primeru uvideo kako su osmeh i ljubaznost moćni i uticajni, i kako je lako nekome ulepšati dan. To sam ja - iskren, pozitivan i otvoren za nove mogućnosti, kao i da uvek dajem sve od sebe i nikad ne odustajem, bez obzira na okolnosti. Verujem da, ako imam mogućnost da pomažem drugim ljudima, ima

1) Dear Luka, would you be kind and tell us who Luka really is, what he dreams about, what he likes, and what he's doing in life? For the readers of the Bellspiration blog, introduce yourself, so that we can all get to know you. While Luka is usually told that he looks a bit older, people rarely tell him that he behaves accordingly. Let’s clarify something right now - I am far from "goofy", I just think that a person should be happy and have fun in life, both with serious and less serious things. A high school teacher who knew me only from the hallways told me at graduation that whenever she saw me on the way to the classroom, I was smiling. It was then when I realized how powerful and influential cheerfulness and kindness are, and how easy it actually is to make someone’s day. That is me - honest, positive, and open to new opportunities, always doing my best and never giving up, regardless of the circumstances. I believe that if I have an opportunity to help other people
