Within the framework of the annual conference of UKLO, entitled “Multidisciplinary approach to the Sustainable Development Goals”, a rare and very interesting event took place – a masterclass. The concept of masterclass denotes a lecture given by someone who has expert knowledge and/or skills in a specific field. This masterclass, part of the collaboratorium (CoLab) for inclusive society of UKLO COLOURS, in cooperation with partner universities from Sweden and France and numerous stakeholders in the field, was on the topic “Designing an inclusive society through first-hand experiences”.
Alumni of UKLO, and current master’s and doctoral students, Simona Joveska, MSc Advisor for Vulnerable Groups Municipality of Bitola (associated partner in COLOURS) and Liljana Jonoski, MSc, and a PhD student in legal sciences at UKLO, were the experts who sublimated the extremely complex topic in extraordinary manner, in front of an audience consisting of students, academic and professional staff, collaborators and partners from North Macedonia, but also from Sweden, France and Germany, because this one, like all events in the European University Alliance COLOURS, was hybrid.
The masterclass had an innovative design that is practiced on European panels, with the inclusion of interventions by experts from the academy, during which prof. Dr. Ivona Susak, Head of the Legal Clinic at the Faculty of Law at UKLO, enriched the discussion with a series of reflections on the lectures in the context of the work of students and staff on this topic.
The organizer and moderator of the collaborative for inclusive society and the masterclass was Prof. Dr. Renata Petrevska Nechkoska, CIO lead of UKLO COLOURS. This step completed an important challenge of UKLO COLOURS to make a pilot concept and to realize a colaboratorium among at least three countries, and this is just the beginning of the real effects of networking and cooperation on the huge challenge of the triple and just transition to an inclusive society.
