Each of the workshops that are starting in November 2004 will address various aspects of the pre-admission period, such as: production, economic structure, "know-how" works, educational structure, regional cooperation and development, market economy.

Starting from September 2004, the European House will initiate the realization of the international project "Europe at School", and this years it also starts with the project "Citizens for a better local government" that should contribute to the decentralisation process in Macedonia.
