About me

Welcome to my blog. My name is Marija [pronounced Mária] and I blog on all things intercultural. I'm a peace studies and translation studies scholar, with a specific interest in education and children's literature. This is a site about my work, what I do and how I try to make the world a better place for the next generation.

I will write in English and my native Macedonian, with occasional use of other languages.

If you want to know more about me and my work you are invited to do so. And please leave your comment.
