<p>In this episode I speak with Vesna from North Macedonia, with more than 20 years of professional experience beginning with volunteering in civil society organisations supporting people at social risk, where she discovered her passion for this profession. Throughout her career, she has worked with different groups, currently focusing on early childhood care, while also actively involved in international projects, non-formal education, and professional training as a lecturer and educator. </p><p><br></p><p>Links to resources mentioned in this week’s episode:</p><ul><li><p>The Streets Smart Model - <a href="https://streetsmarts.blogs.auckland.ac.nz/home/thestreetsmartsmodel/"><u>https://streetsmarts.blogs.auckland.ac.nz/home/thestreetsmartsmodel/</u></a></p></li><li><p>Mellow Parenting program - <a href="https://www.mellowparenting.org/"><u>https://www.mellowparenting.org/</u></a></p></li><li><p>eTwinning projects - <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects"><u>https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects</u></a></p></li><li><p>Erasmus+ program - <a href="https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/"><u>https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/</u></a></p></li><li><p>“Life Story Work: A Practical Guide To Helping Children Understand Their Past” (the English book related to Vesna’s approach when writing her own book) -  <a href="https://dokumen.pub/life-story-work-a-practical-guide-to-helping-children-understand-their-past-9781905664023.html"><u>https://dokumen.pub/life-story-work-a-practical-guide-to-helping-children-understand-their-past-9781905664023.html</u></a></p></li><li><p>Professor Ranko Rajovic’s work - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxbskgKBLFs"><u>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxbskgKBLFs</u></a></p></li><li><p>Nikola Tesla Learning Centre Learning System - <a href="https://ntclearning.com/"><u>https://ntclearning.com/</u></a></p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>This episode&#39;s transcript can be viewed here: </p><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wY4d2-IBCVeDtIivj514o8IPI3l9VsOk_89hl-hH2TA/edit?usp=sharing"><u>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wY4d2-IBCVeDtIivj514o8IPI3l9VsOk_89hl-hH2TA/edit?usp=sharing</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>Thanks to Kevin Macleod of incompetech.com for our theme music.</p>
