The Euro-Atlantic Council of Macedonia has successfully organized the 4^th NATO Student Simulation entitled “NATO and partner countries - future challenges and what to expect?!”



The simulation was practically a meeting of the Heads of State and Governments in the North Atlantic Council discussing the issue of cooperation with partner countries and the future challenges. The event had big educational impact to the students because gave them opportunity to learn more deeply about the issues of NATO, security and international politics, and this time the special emphasis on NATO's cooperation with its partners.

As every year, this time the Euro – Atlantic Council of Macedonia had brought many new moments to the Simulation. The chairman/secretary general was leading the meeting via video conference from Lisbon, Portugal. The Secretary General role this year belonged to Mr. Joao Freitas, the Secretary General of the Youth Atlantic Treaty Association.

With this NATO Student Simulation was launched the first Social Media Network for Security and Defence Issues – Atlantica! This Social Media Network will offer place to discuss every important security and defence issue for the Macedonian society and on global level. This platform offers social and expert parts via its contents such as Member Profile Pages, Blogging and Forums, Pictures, Video and lots of others tools.

The event was held on 28 March 2013 at the ERA Center, Skopje.

The event is supported by the NATO Public Diplomacy Division.
