Published poem at  IATEFL Slovenia Magazine

Withing the 9th ELTAM biannual conference there was a poetry competition. The conference was held in Struga beside the wonderful Ohrid lake as well as on the banks of the river Crni Drim. Struga is famous for an international poetry festival Struski veceri na poezijata (Struga Poetry Evenings). This was an inspiration for the organizing team to organize a poetry competition on the topic "Bridges not walls".  The poem had to contain one word from our mother tongue. Thanks to anonymous donor there were prizes offered.

At the conference closing ceremony the winners were announced. My poem It is time (Време е ) won the second prize. My poem urges human beings to wake up before it is too late and act wisely to change the reality and create a better world. To my great delight my poem was also published in IATEFL Slovenia Magazine IN. Thank you for including my poem in your magazine. I appreciate receiving the published version from the autumn issue on my home address. Thank you for kindness. I can now enjoy reading enlightening and inspiring articles.  

I would also like to express my gratitude to the anonymous donor for his/her generosity. 

Congratulation to my colleagues not for just being dedicated educators but as well as poets.  You will find  the best chosen poems by the jury below.
