Eva Petreska – SAC 2015 Main Organiser

1. Can you tell us what SAC is, an what does it mean to be the main organiser. What were your duties, who did you work with and so on?

-SAC is short for Summer Academic Course and is one of the most beautiful events in our student organisation. This was the 13th edition that was held from 30th of June to 10th of July, 7 days of which were in Skopje and 3 in Ohrid. There were about 25 participants present and around 30 guests from all across Europe. The topic for the course was Hydroenergy and we collaborated with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. But on those lectures we tried to bring them closer to Macedonia’s culture with walks, visiting bars, going to Matka and Vodno and different themed parties and games that were meant for us to get to know each other better and for them to leave with beautiful memories of the event. As a main organiser my main duty was to organise this in the best possible order with the most smiles on everybody’s faces. Which of course is impossible to be done just by one human being so that’s we support team work. I had a wonderful team consisting of 11 people, everyone appointed with a different aspect of the organisation (marketing, corporate relations, logistics, participants responsible etc). Of course we had different work groups where every member in BEST helped so i know that without these people this event wouldn’t have been as great as it was.

Motivational Weekend Ohrid 2015

When you hear, read or see on TV about something new, your curiosity grows, reaches higher levels. BEST is something that for me wasn’t so new, as much as the unknown adventure that follows the BESTies on Motivational Weekends was. Everyone kept talking about this “secret” adventure but this time i didn’t let them. I applied for a main organiser – i was chosen and i experienced the most wonderful moments in BEST.
