Partner project of the “e-Macedonia” Foundation and “OHO”

The “Say Something” blogging competition starts today for all high school students. “Say Something” is a partner venture of the “e-Macedonia” Foundation and the Association for Education, Communication and Consulting “OHO” and its purpose is to motivate young people in Macedonia to use the new IT technologies in a practical manner and to express themselves creatively via music, video, photography or writing.

The competition will last from 24 December, 2013 until 30 April, 2014. All interested students need to register at the web page www.kazinesto.org.mk which will also serve as a blog aggregator. The student can find blogging manual at the same page, whose author is the popular blogger Darko Buldioski.

Every student from 14 to 18 years of age in the highs schools in Macedonia is entitled to participate. All individual students or teams of up to five students can register a blog. Students who already have blogs can participate in the competition if they register.

Every school can register unlimited number of participants who will take part in the competition by creating articles or other means of expression via which they will express their ideas and positions on the given topics.

The participant can create blogs on the following two topics: “Say TECHNOLOGY” which covers the following sub-categories: Life online, hacking, mobile internet, mobile applications and “Say STYLE” with the following sub-categories: love, vulture, sport and green.

The best blogs will be graded in accordance with the defined criteria by a professional jury. The best three blogs will be awarded after the end of the competition in May, 2014, when the final event for announcement of the winners will take place.

"Although this is the first blogging competition in Macedonia, we expect great interest from the high school students, because blogging is very popular and it is the most authentic form of expression on the internet, especially with the young people. Our idea is to motivate them to express themselves creatively and to expand their horizons on the possibilities that internet offers. I invite as many of them as possible to participate and have fun” – said Radmila Joncevska, director of the “e-Macedonia” Foundation.

“Our organisation has experience of many years in the creation of educational programmes whose aim is to animate the students to express their creativity and concurrently, to promote certain social values. Our practice is to create space or a platform where the students can individually express their creative potential. We also believe that via the “Say Something” project, the high school students will show innovative ideas for affirmative use of the internet and the modern communication technologies” – said Pece Taleski, executive director of OHO.
