Throughout the 49 days of the Border Movers trip you will be able witness its six participants experiencing the full range of human emotions. Understanding and joy, hate and aversion, fatigue and a feeling of emptiness, curiosity and satisfaction…the Border Movers will experience it all as they try to complete the tasks given to them in completely foreign lands.

not possible from macedonia?? or yes?
Dear Dancho,
It says "you should be an EU citizen or resident" and since Macedonia is not in the EU then Macedonian residents are not eligible. However you can ask again the organizers.
Kind regards,
