Achievements
The PEP team continuously nourishes good relations with teachers through regular
meetings via different channels (a closed Facebook page, phone, e-mail, meetings). These
encounters generate mutual trust and are a good basis for cooperation. This trend has
continued this year. More intense meetings, live encounters have been conducted this year
(2016), in comparison to the previous one,
The range of peace activities conducted by teachers differs from school to school. So
does the number of teachers who are active in implementing peace activities. Most of the
teachers need and require more support and mentorship from the PEP team. However, in the
course of the past year (2016) the PEP team has witnessed more and more teachers who
show initiative in terms of suggesting and implementing peace activities in a more
independent manner. The PEP team continuously offers and when needed provides support
to teachers. Some teachers claim to use the techniques that are used in PEP’s training
program, in the framework of their classes.
In terms of training program: PEP continues to offer tailor made trainings depending
on the context. It was assessed that strengthening capacities in terms of facilitation would be
helpful for teachers who want to facilitate workshops. Such training was offered. In the
context of refugee crisis, a more structured discussion upon differences and similarities
between peace building work and humanitarian work was deemed necessary. Such a
workshop was organized. Taking into consideration that the project was entering a phase of
more intense lobbying and advocacy process, a set of workshops and trainings were
conducted to strengthen teacher’s capacities for lobbying and advocacy. Workshops on
regional experiences of advocacy for civic education were organized. Taking into
consideration the groups of students that teachers work with, the PEP team deemed
necessary that the topic of “identities” should reflected upon in more detail. This was
conducted in the framework of three day trainings.
In terms of written materials: during the reporting period, a Handbook for teachers:
How to discuss the refugee crisis with students was published and delivered to teachers.
In September, PEP started a Peace Campaign with the aim to introduce Peace Education in
the formal educational system in the country. The campaign actually started with the
activities for marking 21st of September, The International Day of Peace and will continue
with different activities and intensity. During the reporting period billboards and city lights
“Peace is every step” were placed on 53 locations all over Macedonia, teachers and PEP team

55
were frequently on media and the PEP team printed badges with some of the statements that
the teachers wrote after an invitation that they continue the sentence “Peace is…”.
In the framework of the Peace Campaign teachers were quite present in the media
raising awareness about Peace education and discussing on related topics. In this setting it
was more means of promotion for the peace activities in schools and the project in general
but also a subtle appeal and public stance for a join living in Macedonia for people that come
from different communities. As some teachers stated, this kind of public appearance help
them also in explaining and getting more support for PE from their school colleagues.

and discuss our idea. We decide to ask all 16 NGOs that have institutional grant from CIVIKA

61

public image of the NGOs in the society. It was opportunity for all, unfortunately we got
feedback with the needed materials from only 6 NGOs. The videos will be promoted in 2017.

With our previous experience in the field of research and also previous collaboration we
decide to give BRIMA gallop the trust to do the research. After the meeting with BRIMA that
was somewhere in the middle of March the team of Megjashi gathered to define the fields
and question what we wanted to research. The defined questions and fields of interest were
sent to BRIMA by e-mail and soon we got the defined questions for the research. It was agreed
that the research and the results will be delivered to Megjashi not later than 27.04.2016 The
research will be done by phone calls and will include 600 respondents. In April FCEW Megjashi
got the document of the quantitative research that included 13 questions about various
aspects of our work.
The coordinator for the SOS helpline created a document for the action plan for
harmonization of the SOS phone line. The document needs to be reviewed and changed on
a meeting of the team of FCEW Megjashi.
Insurance company was interested in the reconstruction of the interior of the office, and a
meeting took place in the reporting period when representative come to see the major
problems and we discus about the opportunities and possibilities. On the meeting was
concluded that the daily center room should be reconstructed from the insurance company.
We discus about the exterior as well but because of the expenses we must wait for longer
period to get official answer.
The activity for manufacturing new charity boxes started in the beginning of March with
sending request for offers to 7 companies that work with plastic. We got back answer and
offer only from 3 from witch the best offer was chosen. By the end of March 2016 we got our
new 45 charity boxes.
The preparation for the activity workshop for prepareing of a code of ethics started with the
questioner that was sent and answered from all of the team members in 2016 and a draft
version has been done, in 2017 the team will gather to revise and adopt the new ethic code
of FCEW Megjashi.
In the field/activity for contacting foreign organization in 2016 besides the regular
communications we supported partner organization from Turkey.
Support and solidarity to The Agenda of the Child Association (Gьndem Зocuk Derneği)

62
To the members of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, International
organizations and networks for protecting the rights of the child, to the Embassies and the
Media. In solidarity with our partner organization in Turkey, we continue this fight together
in defense of dignity and work of The Agenda of the Child Association (Gьndem Зocuk
Derneği) and all other 375 civil society organizations that are closed! Every child is important
and every child deserves to have someone who will fight for him/her, protect his/her rights,
which today is not possible without organizations such as The Agenda the Child Association
(Gьndem Зocuk Derneği)! www.gundemcocuk.org/
Megjashi regularly cooperates with foreign organizations for different aspects of children
rights; we also apply together at calls for proposals as well as jointly implement many
activities on projects. For example, FCEW Megjashi is a member of international network of
SOS help lines. Child helpline international has supported Megjashi in the process of
harmonization of the SOS helpline. Megjashi is also a member of the European network
EUROCHILD where together with the other members we participated in creation of polices
and strategies for children rights on European level.
Organizing meetings for cooperation with the business sector. In December 2016 we
received a call from a company that supports us with the purchase of Christmas cards offering
us a donation in approximately 250 euros in a way that we prefer. After a short meeting with
the team we decided that we will need New year packages so we can bring Santa Clause and
bring smile to the children in need that were living near our office. We decided to ask the
magician Kristijan if he can perform some magic tricks for the children before Santa Clause
start with the packages. The number of children that we know that need this kind of support
was nearly 150 so we had to contact other companies in order to have bigger number of
packages. We manage to find one in less than one hour that was a great success and with
another 30 packages from the FCEW Megjashi we reach the number of 230. Turned out that
the children enjoyed the Magic tricks they were delighted and happy, It was something that
they never seen before. Santa Clause gave 230 New Year packages to approximately 100
children on spot and the other 130 to their parents for the children that were not able to
come in the office of FCEW Megjashi. In the end all children were happy and unfortunately
some parents were not satisfied with the packages because they had lots of children and our
supply was limited. We are happy we succeed to bring smile to the 100 children that were in
the office of Megjashi on 29th of December.
The idea for the creation of such organization as FCEW Megjashi was to help those in needs
and unfortunately, in the reporting period we faced the floods and the consequences that
appeared after. We have been working mainly in crises related to wars but now we faced
other kind of disaster and we organized the whole team in helping those in needs with focus
on children and parents. The work of our organization was firstly to locate the children to find
out the number of children and the age of children in the area of the floods. The second step
was to raise awareness of the possible health disasters that might appear and to deliver
humanitarian help for the children. The third step was helping in evacuation of children and
pregnant women. After we got the locations and the needs of children and their parents, we
selected the donations from the citizens and the donations bought from FCEW Megjashi and
delivered directly to the locations that we got. We find out that the system from the state and

63
other actors for supporting the region had many gaps so we were working on the field directly
with the citizens. After the first few days, we organized doctors and opened medical center
where citizens were able to check their health and to get opinions and first aid. Lots of
volunteers and doctors helped in the realization and a group for support created on Facebook
from was directions were given.
7. FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES
Charity boxes
In 2016 thanks to the CIVICA grant FCEW Megjashi increased the number of the charity boxes
for 45 new modern types of Plexiglas boxes. Every new charity box has 3 logos of FCEW
Megjashi on 3 languages Macedonian, Albanian and English it also has a message on 3
languages to our supports and sticker with all the contact information for the Embassy. With
the new charity boxes, we plan to increase the network of charity boxes and with this to
increase the number of activities and the number of citizens that will support our activities.
The new charity boxes will be distributed in 2017 mainly in supermarkets. The donation for
2016 is same as the previous year with the difference in the amount of changed charity boxes
that was lower than the previous year.
Christmas cards
The Christmas cards sales started in November after all of the prior preparation were done.
The whole sale was successful even thou the final income from the sales was lower than the
income in 2015. The number of companies that supported FCEW Megjashi has risen but the
income decreased mainly because one of our biggest supporters decided to decrease the
number of purchased Christmas cards. This decrease in the number of purchased Christmas
cards has occur in few more companies that supported Megjashi in the previous years and
that is the reason of the decreased income. However, we were more motivated to find new
supporters and we manage to do so. This activity was support from lots of web portals that
gave free space for the promotion of the Christmas cards as a donation, we also increased the
number of hardcopy offers and we start to cooperate with new company that has database
of lots of emails from business companies.
Donations
The practice for donations of second hand clothing has continue in 2016 and lots of citizens
from the municipality of Aerodrom donated clothes and shoes that were given to those in
need. Many citizens donate food, hygiene products, diapers and baby food etc for the families
with little children in the flooded areas of Skopje. The companies Translog and S&T donate
120 Christmas package gifts.

64
Events
After the first call from the company Translog offering donation for FCEW Megjashi, the team
decided to invest the offered amount for a small magic show and Christmas package sharing
for marginalized and poor children mainly from the municipality of Aerodrom. With the 30
Christmas packages more from the FCEW Megjashi we were able to make 150 children happy.
With the start of the event the Magician put up a great show, the happiness and the
excitement could be seen in the children’s eyes, it was a special moment that they enjoyed
even more than the Christmas packages from Santa Clause.
8. SUPPORT FOR INITIATIVES
8.1. SUPPORT THE INITIATIVE OF JOINT PARETNHOOD
Megjashi has supported the initiative for amendments to the Family Law, which comes from
a group of parents, for introduction of joint custody and proper parenting after divorce. “A
child should never be put in a situation to choose between both parents”; “Divorce should be
the termination of the marriage, not the termination of parenthood. “ This model implies
strengthening quality communication between parents in order to reduce and prevent
traumatic sense among children because of parent divorce. Group of parents, supported by
the Children Embassy "Megjashi", submitted the draft amendments to the Law on Family to
the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, asking for the introduction of joint custody of children
after divorce.
