1. How did you become a member of Active?
I attended the Balkan seminar in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2004 and I really liked the idea of Active, the working methods and the people.

2. What do you like the most about Active?
I really like the way Active influences people from their first contact. They are carried away from the spirit that Active people have, their motivation, work, the connection between them, even though they are thousands km away. That connection doesn't fade away, it only gets stronger on every Active event.

3. Which Active camps did you attend?
My first Active camp and congress was in Basel, Switzerland in 2006 and it was an incredible experience, that motivated me to go on every following camp, in Bulgaria 2007, in Sweden 2008 and off course I will attend the next camp in Albania.

4. What activities/workshops did you attend during summer camps?
During summer camps I attended and sometimes organized different workshops. Most of them were for debating, get to know Macedonia, yoga, designing candles, visiting caves and towns, photography etc.

5. Please share the funniest moment in Active event.
The street action in Brno, Czech Republic. It was pretty amazing the way 30 young people went out on the street in a town that never heard of Active, and showed our opinions and ideas on creative way.

6. Describe Active in 5 words.
energy, experience, diversity, influence, connection

7. What did you get from Active?
I got a possibility to be part of a different world, full of positive energy, different attitudes, acceptance and activism, that made it an experience for a lifetime.
