The United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD) recently inaugurated the tenth edition of its “Brtrat Macedonia” program. The formal opening ceremony took place at the House of the Robievci in Ohrid. This significant gathering serves as an annual event designed to honor and remember the sacrifices made by young Macedonians from the diaspora.
The program is structured to provide educational and cultural immersion for students representing various nations, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Germany. These participants are expected to engage with Macedonian culture and history during their time in the country. The initiative, which was officially announced by the UMD on June 27, 2026, emphasizes the importance of maintaining cultural ties across generations.
The educational component allows the students not only to learn about Macedonia but also to connect with their heritage and peers from around the globe. The gathering in Osum, Macedonia, serves as a central hub where these international students will work, study, and deepen their understanding of Macedonian life. The event aims to build a sense of shared identity among the global community.
Attendees are encouraged to share their experiences and knowledge, fostering a continuous dialogue between the diaspora and the homeland. This tenth iteration underscores the enduring commitment of the UMD to preserving cultural memory and fostering connections among the Macedonian global community.
