Advocacy and Program Updates from the United Macedonian Diaspora

The second session for #GivingTuesday was successfully held, showcasing the important work of UMD.

Mario Hristovski of Mario's History Talks spoke about the Thessaloniki (Solun) Human Rights Forum. UMD Board Member Filip Jotevski highlighted his experiences as a UMD intern and Birthright Macedonia participant. UMD Co-Founder and President Emeritus Metodija A. Koloski spoke about UMD educational opportunities for Macedonian heritage students, like the Bitove Scholarship.

The event was moderated by Emily Abramczyk, UMD Senior Global Policy and Advocacy Officer, with special thanks to Gordan Jordanov, UMD Macedonia and Europe Director, for his contributions. We would also like to thank Mustafa Tahoun, UMD International Policy and Diplomacy Fellow for his support in organizing this event.
