The Parkours Jumped to Skopje: ARNO Hosts the Parkours for the Future Partner Meeting

On May 20 and 21, 2025, ARNO turned Skopje into a meeting point for bright ideas and fresh energy as it hosted the European partners of the Parkours for the Future project. After months of co-creating and testing, the parkours officially jumped to Skopje, bringing together representatives from Germany, Italy, Romania, and Brussels at ARNO’s newly opened Repair Center – Nothing New – a unique space dedicated to giving old things new life.

Over two days, the team exchanged ideas, reflected on the parkours developed so far, and mapped out exciting plans for what comes next. Part of the meeting even went in front of the cameras: the partners joined a segment for Sitel TV’s morning show to share the project’s vision and tease an upcoming autumn event that’s just around the corner.

If you’re curious, you can watch the segment here (in Macedonian – but wait for Lisa, you’ll catch her part in English!)

A special focus of the gathering was the ongoing development of the project’s pedagogical framework, which aims to spark new ways of inspiring and empowering youth across Europe.

On the second day, partners stepped into two Skopje high schools – SUGS “8th of September” and SABA Private Secondary School – to see firsthand how local educators connect with students and bring fresh ideas into the classroom.

Stay tuned – Parkours for the Future is just getting started, and we can’t wait to share what’s next!
