Mass Mess - successfully realized

The Values Quest team has a great pleasure to inform you that the biggest activity of the project, Mass Mess, was successfully realized on Saturday, March 17 in the sports centre of "Blaze Koneski" Elementary School in Veles. Members of clubs from all over Macedonia were joined in various games promoting team spirit and had an interesting time together.

The Core team led by the two coordinators Elena S. & Elena N. and helped greatly by the team from the local club in Veles had worked hard for some time to organize the event and make the day as fun as possible for the participants. At the beginning, they were addressed by the coordinators of the VQ project, and then greeted by Elizabeta Jovanovska from the British Council, by Andreja Bogdanovski from the Blue Sky Youth Network and by the Mayor of Veles, Ace Kocevski.

The activities began with a game intended for the participants to get to know each other and during which a real mass mess :) was created. Then, they positioned themselves on an imaginary map of Macedonia, and by presenting their clubs individually presented the complexity of the Network as a whole. The rest of the day was left for group activities. There were nine groups of participants named after famous cartoons and led by fun leaders. After lunch the groups competed among each other, the winning group being rewarded in the end. The day was concluded with a party in one of the cafes in Veles.

According to the participants' testimonials, they all had a great time in the course of the activities and thought that the event was well organized and interesting. What's left now is for them to take the enthusiasm and team spirit they showed in Veles to their local clubs and organize similar events, i.e. take Mass Mess to all the members of the Network.
