Pro Peace - North Macedonia

Pro Peace - North Macedonia Pro Peace North Macedonia aims to contribute to constructive public debates on dealing with the past through culture and dialogue.

Pro Peace (formerly forumZFD) has been active in North Macedonia since 2001, working to promote peacebuilding, dialogue, and social cohesion. Over the years, we have supported multi-ethnic education, non-violent conflict transformation, youth clubs, and interethnic cooperation in schools. Today, our focus continues through media, culture, and education addressing the legacies of conflict and chall

enging divisive narratives. Our ongoing work includes the Balkan Perspectives podcast, oral history publications, youth engagement, and the Dealing with the Past film program. We also support local NGOs in implementing these initiatives, creating space for critical reflection, inclusive dialogue, and storytelling on memory, history, and coexistence. In Germany, Pro Peace (formerly forumZFD) was established in 1996. It trains and deploys peacebuilding professionals to conflict-affected regions, where they work alongside local communities to promote peaceful coexistence and non-violent conflict transformation. Pro Peace carries out long-term projects in the Western Balkans, Ukraine, the Middle East, the Philippines, and in Germany. This work is financially supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)

ПроПис (поранешен форумЗФД) се активни во Северна Македонија од 2001 година, работејќи на градење мир, дијалог и општествена кохезија. Во изминатите години, поддржавме повеќеетничко образование, ненасилна трансформација на конфликти, младински клубови и меѓуетничка соработка во училиштата. Денес, нашето внимание останува насочено кон медиумите, културата и образованието, осврнувајќи се на наследствата од конфликтот и предизвикувајќи ги поделбените наративи.

Нашата тековна работа го вклучува подкастот „Балкански перспективи“, публикации од усна историја, младинска вклученост и филмската програма „Соочување со минатото“. Исто така, им даваме поддршка на локални граѓански организации во спроведување на овие иницијативи, создавајќи простор за критичка рефлексија, инклузивен дијалог и раскажување приказни за сеќавањето, историјата и соживотот.

Во Германија, ПроПис (поранешен форумЗФД) се основани во 1996 година. Обучуваат и испраќаат професионалци за градење мир во региони погодени од конфликти, каде што заедно со локалните заедници, работаат на промовирање на мирен соживот и ненасилна трансформација на конфликти. ПроПис спроведува долгорочни проекти на Западен Балкан, во Украина, Блискиот Исток, Филипините и Германија. Оваа работа е финансиски поддржана од Германското Сојузно Министерство за економска соработка и развој (BMZ).

Pro Peace (dikur forumZFD) është aktiv në Maqedoninë e Veriut që nga viti 2001, duke promovuar ndërtimin e paqes, dialogun dhe kohezionin shoqëror. Gjatë viteve, kemi mbështetur arsimin multietnik, transformimin paqësor të konflikteve, klubet rinore dhe bashkëpunimin ndëretnik në shkolla. Sot, fokusi ynë vazhdon përmes mediave, kulturës dhe arsimit, duke trajtuar trashëgimitë e konfliktit dhe duke sfiduar narrativat përçarëse. Puna jonë e vazhdueshme përfshin podcastin “Perspektivat e Ballkanit”, botime të historive gojore, përfshirjen e të rinjve dhe programin filmik “Ballafaqimi me të Kaluarën”. Gjithashtu, mbështesim OJQ-të lokale në zbatimin e këtyre iniciativave, duke krijuar hapësirë për reflektim kritik, dialog gjithëpërfshirës dhe rrëfim për kujtesën, historinë dhe bashkëjetesën. Në Gjermani, Pro Peace (dikur forumZFD) është themeluar në vitin 1996. Ai trajnon dhe angazhon profesionistë të ndërtimit të paqes në rajone të prekura nga konflikti, ku ata punojnë së bashku me komunitetet lokale për të promovuar bashkëjetesën paqësore dhe transformimin jo të dhunshëm të konflikteve. Pro Peace zbaton projekte afatgjata në Ballkanin Perëndimor, Ukrainë, Lindjen e Mesme, Filipine dhe Gjermani. Kjo punë mbështetet financiarisht nga Ministria Federale Gjermane për Bashkëpunim Ekonomik dhe Zhvillim (BMZ).

Ретроспектива на колумните објавени во 2025 година на веб-страницата www.dwp-balkan.org, во кои различни автори — новинари, експерти, професионалци и активисти — пишуваат за соочувањето со минатото, транзициската и социјалната правда, како и евроинтеграциските процеси во Северна Македонија, низ призмата на конфликтот од 2001 година и Охридскиот рамковен договор.

A retrospective of the columns published in 2025 on the www.dwp-balkan.org website, in which various authors — journalists, experts, professionals, and activists — write about dealing with the past, transitional and social justice, and the EU integration processes in North Macedonia, viewed through the lens of the 2001 conflict and the Ohrid Framework Agreement.
