Aged Care With A Difference Contents Why We Are Here The Macedonian Community Welfare Association (MCWA) is pleased to present its Annual Report for the period 2019-2020. Overview MCWA was established in 1983 by a group of forward-thinking leaders of the Macedonian community based in Victoria who recognised the need for a range of social support and welfare services for newly arrived individuals and families, as well as the growing Macedonian community here in Australia. MCWA was established to ensure all Victorians were able to get access to care and thrive at home as they aged and/or lived with a disability. 04 Why We Are Here 19 Home Care Packages Who are we?

  • Dear Colleagues, Friends and Fellow Macedonians
    Dear colleagues, friends and fellow Macedonians, AUSTRALIAN CENSUS 2021 – ADVICE TO THE MACEDONIAN COMMUNITY The Australian Macedonian Council of New South Wales Inc. is committed to advocating for and supporting Macedonian Australians, and in promoting the collective Macedonian Australian perspective regarding matters of public policy and strategic importance. The Australian Census will be held on Tuesday, 10 August 2021. The Census will provide Macedonian Australians with an opportunity to share our story. The Census counts every person and household in Australia. It is a snapshot of who we are and how we are changing. It is important to confirm your Macedonian identity on the Australian Census, including questions about ancestry, language, country of birth and religion. It will ensure that we are adequately represented in Australia as a minority community and in key policy areas such as cultural diversity, health, education and social services. By identifying as a Macedonian Australian, you will enable the Australian Government to better understand who we are and the needs of our community now and in the future. The Council has developed an information campaign and guide to support the Macedonian community with responding to key questions in the upcoming Census. The information is available in English and Macedonian, and includes a step-by-step guide to answering the questions. It is available by clicking on the following link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19Nzd0Vl6Hpza- hFp9tG8kK3jQcTuVWZs?usp=sharing The Australian Bureau of Statistics has also published some information in the Macedonian language. This can be accessed via the following link: https://census.abs.gov.au/macedonian We strong encourage you to the share the information guide to your fellow Macedonians, friends, colleagues and organisational members.

  • The Unresolved 'Difference Over the Name':1 a Greek
    THE UNRESOLVED ‘DIFFERENCE OVER THE NAME’:1 A GREEK PERSPECTIVE Evangelos Kofos I. THE COURSE OF A NAME DISPUTE: FROM INDEPENDENCE TO UN MEDIATION AND THE INTERIM ACCORD 1. Introduction The Interim Accord between Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), which was signed in New York on 13 September 1995, initiated a process of normalising and laying the foundations for constructive relations of co-operation and trust between the two countries. Equally important, however, was its missing dimension: how to address a problem which had bedevilled the two countries for the previous four years (from September 1991 to September 1995). That problem was none other than the ‘difference over the name of the state’ — as the UN –––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1. ‘The difference over the name of the state’ was the phrase used in UN Secu- rity Council resolution 817/7.4.1993, which called upon Greece and FYROM to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Ten years on, ‘the difference over the name’ persists. 126 Evangelos Kofos Security Council phrased it — which ‘needs to be resolved in the interest of maintaining peaceful and good-neighbourly relations in the region’ (UN S/RES 817/1993).2 During the preceding period, 1993–5, the failure to resolve it had had a detrimental effect both on bilateral relations and on the wider Balkan region. This was especially the case when a Greek blockade was forced upon FYROM from March 1994 to September 1995. This study investigates the reasons why - despite a decade of diplomatic endeavours and a new era of constructive bilateral relations initiated in 1995 with the signing of an Interim Accord under UN auspices - the 1993 Security Council resolution on the name issue has not been resolved.

  • Contested Identity: Macedonians in Contemporary Australia
    CONTESTED IDENTITY: MACEDONIANS IN CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIA CHRIS NAJDOVSKI Department of Social and Cultural Studies Faculty of Arts Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts October, 1997 THESIS 305.891819094 NAJ 30001004896058 Najdovski, ico (Chris) Lontested identity • Abstract As argued in this thesis, a Macedonian-Australian identity is an elusive and evolving category. Nonetheless, the various Macedonian-Australian institutions and organisations, as well as the activities that they perform, described in this thesis, give definition and shape to a distinctive Macedonian identity. The thesis argues that Macedonian identity is not fixed, but is the product of lived experience and engagement with the issues that confront them in the modern context. This identity is not a static fusion of discrete 'traditional' and 'modern' identities, which come together to constitute another (composite) self-contained identity. Rather, the Macedonian-Australian identity is viewed as representing dynamic processes of 'negotiation' between various cross-cutting trajectories, that are constructed in response to changing social and cultural circumstances. The thesis describes these processes as they are enacted in the Australian context, including the contestation of Macedonian identity that was part of what has come to be known as 'the Greek- Macedonian debate'. The thesis argues that Macedonians draw on their historic heritage and culture, as well as on elements that are part of their lives in Australia, in order

  • An Exploration of Linguistic Neo-Colonialism Through Educational Language Policy – an Irish Perspective
    An exploration of linguistic neo-colonialism through educational language policy – an Irish perspective Anna Dillon Zayed University, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Abstract In this paper, educational language policy is explored through the lens of linguistic neo-colonialism in Ireland in the case of learners of English as an Additional Language. The perspective of Ireland as a decolonized nation may have an impact on current language policy. Arguments for an additive approach to language and identity, language maintenance and the preservation of linguistic human rights make the case for avoiding subtractive bilingualism as a form of linguistic neo-colonialism. Social class and racism can lead to linguistic oppression that must be addressed critically by all stakeholders and policy makers at macro and micro levels. A transformation in linguistic oppression has potential to address these issues within communities. It is therefore essential that all children are afforded the opportunity to develop their language skills to the fullest extent possible, in order to gain maximum access to education and the structures and norms that constitute the society of their new community in addition to, not instead of, their home community. Key words: Language policy, identity, linguistic human rights, language maintenance, immigration, English as an Additional Language In this paper educational language policy is explored through the lens of linguistic neo-colonialism in Ireland. The perspective of Ireland as a decolonized nation may have an impact on current language policy. Arguments for an additive approach to language and identity, language maintenance and the preservation of linguistic human rights make the case for avoiding this type of linguistic neo-colonialism.
