Made of Us \u2013 An EU-Western Balkans road trip\u201d campaign, funded by the European Union and brought to you by WeBalkans reached North Macedonia this week.\u00a0 This awareness campaign aims to promote a positive image of the EU to the people of the Western Balkans, and vice versa. Its protagonists are 12 young EU and Western Balkan vloggers who travel across the region in pairs. Each of the pairs share their experiences along the way by creating their own online content.<\/p>\n

They will be on the road for a total of seven days between 2-8 May, showcasing the best of North Macedonia as well as EU investments in the region.\u00a0 They will visit various locations, including the historic city of Ohrid, innovative projects, and tourism businesses supported by the EU.\u00a0 Among the EU-funded projects they will be visiting are Adventure Park Skopje, a project which allows people of Skopje to have adventurous fun, and scout camp Struga, a well-known holiday camp near city of Struga as well as Heraclae Bitola, one of the most significant archaeological sites in North Macedonia.<\/p>\n
