Artists and cultural professionals can apply with a proposal to carry out a project with a partner of their choice in a Creative Europe country which is not their country of residence. The project should pursue two of the following goals: to explore: to conduct creative and artistic research, to investigate, inspire and work on a specific theme or a new concept to create: to engage in a creative process seeking to produce a new piece of artistic/cultural work to learn: to enhance competences and skills through non-formal learning or collaboration with a specialist to connect: to develop a professional network, to strengthen the professional development, to engage with new audiences The partner can be, for example, a fellow artist, an organisation or a venue in the country of destination. Applicants must provide proof of collaboration in the application process. It is possible to apply either as an individual or as a group of up to five people. Important: Culture Moves Europe mobility grant cannot be used to merely present previously created work. Projects that simply propose, for example, an exhibition or performance of a previously created work will not be considered. Culture Moves Europe, and these grants, exist to encourage creation, exchanges, connections, and fruitful learnings across borders. The project duration is the number of days spent in the destination country to implement the project: between 7 and 40 days for individual projects between 7 and 14 days for group projects The implementation of the project in the destination country must be uninterrupted, which means that segmenting the implementation of the project into different periods is not accepted. The selection of projects is divided into three duration categories and estimated as follows: Approximately 70% for short-term projects (7 to 14 days) Approximately 23% for medium-term projects (15 to 21 days) Approximately 7% for long-term projects (22 to 40 days) The earliest start of travel and project implementation is 60 days from the monthly deadline and not before the Culture Moves Europe team receives the signed grant agreement from the selected applicant.

UTEP Volleyball starts its games with Marty Robbins singing “Out in the West Texas town of El Paso,” followed by the college fight song as the players take to the court. Among them are two players from the northern Serbian city of Belgrade. The two outside hitters, Sara Pustahija and Ema Uskokovic have become critical players for the UTEP Miners. They were recruited by Nikola Petrovic, an assistant coach and international recruiting coordinator. He is also a native of Serbia. Petrovic joined the UTEP volleyball program in 2019. Uskokovic, was one of his first recruits for UTEP Volleyball. She was a familiar face to Petrovic long before connecting in El Paso. “I know Emma for, I think over ten years, I follow her development for long time because, my parents and her parents and we have like long connection. My best friend was coaching her back home. Anytime when I would go and watch my friend coach and everything I would see them play,” Petrovic said. For Ema Uskokovic, the decision to join UTEP was an easy one. “I’ve known Coach Nick for I don’t even know how many years now, he kind of recruited me, asked me if I wanted to come here, and I said yes,” said Uskokovic. In Serbia, Uskokovic won a gold medal with the Serbian U17 National Team at the 2018 Balkan Championships. Uskokovic was named to the C-USA All-rookie Team in her first year, 2021. Uskokovic did not play much in 2023 due to injury, but she has participated in every game this season in 2024. Uskokovic, a redshirt junior at UTEP, is seeing success on the court as a starter this year and is excited about an additional year of play. Following closely behind is Pustahija, who also credits Petrovic with her decision to play for UTEP. “He came to Serbia one, I think, spring that we met over there, so he kind of explained to me what, how is the work here, practicing and everything. So, I just committed shortly after we met in Serbia,” said Pustahija. Before moving to UTEP, Pustahija earned two Serbian Championship silver medals, the U17 Balkan Championship and the International City Tournament, and gold and silver in the Belgrade Championship. Pustahija was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team in 2022 and broke the all-time service aces record in a single season with 55 aces. She started 28 games in her first year. In 2023, Pustahija posted double-digit kills twice, and started 11 matches before suffering a season-ending injury. Pustahija, a junior, has been experiencing success on the court as a starter. A home away from home While being recruited just a year apart, Uskokovic and Pustahija feel that El Paso has become a second home. Despite being more than 6,000 miles from home, the Serbian players have found comfort in the similarities between their homeland and the warm, and welcoming community of the border city. “I feel like El Paso City like that is just, you know, kind of different than all of the other American cities cause it’s on the border, and I actually love the culture, mixed of the Mexican and American culture,” said Pustahija. “I would say our people are very similar to the our culture is similar to the Mexican culture, so I think that’s why we fit in here so well,” said Uskokovic. Pustahija compares her hometown, Belgrade, to El Paso’s sense of community. “We’re really nice and open to other people. I feel like foreigns come to Serbia, especially to our hometown, Belgrade; I feel like they’re really welcome,” said Pustahija. Recruiting abroad Coach Petrovic’s recruitment of international players has tried to extend beyond Serbia. “We are trying to recruit the best recruits that we can find, best athletes, best volleyball players. So, in that moment, those were best players that we had in that recruiting class, for future, we don’t know, are we going to recruit kids from Serbia or from Egypt or from Turkey or from United States,” Petrovic said. The Serbian duo were the best recruit from their respective class and have played a fundamental role in the team’s success, especially this 2024 season. The UTEP Miners were the first NCAA D1 volleyball program to win 20 games this season. For the first time in program history, the team went to the 2024 NCAA Division I women’s volleyball tournament. As UTEP Volleyball expands its program, the Serbian bond and experiences that unite Petrovic, Uskokovic, and Pustahija are laying the groundwork for future international recruit success and add to the cultural diversity of UTEP’s athletic community. https://borderzine.com/2024/12/from-belgrade-to-el-paso-a-successful-international-connection-for-utep-volleyball/

HAMMOND, La. – Southeastern Louisiana University Athletics named seniors Slavko Stevic and Ka’Lyn Watson the school’s 2023-24 Athletes of the Year Wednesday. Stevic and Watson will be recognized at the 2024 North Oaks Health System Southeastern Athletics Hall of Fame Banquet Sept. 13, along with the 2024 Hall of Fame class of Amir Abdur-Rahim, Chris Laiche, Kevin Millican and Alex Young, as well as the 1975 national champion men’s track and field team. Volleyball standout Courtney Donald was elected to the 2024 class, but will take part in the 2025 ceremony due to a personal commitment. Tickets for the event are available at www.LionSports.net/HOF. Southeastern Athletics has presented the Athlete of the Year to the department’s top male and female performers since 1990. Stevic, one of 10 track and field student-athletes to earn the honor, was named SLU Male Athlete of the Year for the second straight year. He is one of five student-athletes in school history, along with Young and women’s tennis standouts Renee Villarreal, Emilija Arnaudovska and Renata Smekalova to be named the school’s Athlete of the Year multiple times. Watson’s selection marks the third straight year the SLU Female Athlete of the Year has come from the Southeastern softball program. She joins Bailey Krolczyk, Aeriyl Mass, Jacquelyn Ramon, Mahalia Gibson, Katie Duhe and Sarah Gascon to give Lady Lion Softball seven Southeastern Female Athletes of the Year. Stevic, a native of Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, capped one of the finest careers ever by a SLU student-athlete this spring. He pulled off the sweep in the high jump at both the Southland Conference Indoor and Outdoor championship meets. For his Southeastern career, he won four SLC championships in the high jump in both indoor and outdoor competition. Stevic qualified to compete in the NCAA Outdoor East Preliminary Round, but decided to forego the opportunity, instead attempting to qualify to represent his native Serbia in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Stevic was also an outstanding performer in the classroom, earning SLC Indoor Student-Athlete of the Year honors for the second straight time and claiming SLC All-Academic recognition for the fourth time. Watson was one of the catalysts of a 47-win SLU softball team that won its first-ever Southland Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. The Missouri City, Texas native was named SLC Hitter of the Year, first team All-Southland Conference and first team All-Louisiana after setting a new single-season school mark with 55 runs scored. Watson batted .394 with a league-high 31 steals – good for 12th in the nation. She also added 74 hits, eight doubles, five triples, six home runs and 39 RBI. Her strong play continued in the postseason, as she was named to the SLC All-Tournament team and hit a home run in an elimination game victory over No. 21 Clemson that sent the Lady Lions to the championship game of the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional. The 2023-24 Male and Female Athlete of the Year were selected by the department’s head coaches and administrative staff. The 2024-25 Southeastern Athletics season kicked off with the first stop on the Coaches Caravan Tuesday at Greystone Golf & Country Club in Denham Springs. The caravan moves on to The Rusty Pelican (482 Myrtle Dr.) in Covington Thursday.

With its latest signing, Washington State is taking a swing on a prospect with some upside. Seven-footer Dimitrije Vukicevic, a native of Serbia who averaged 2.5 points in 10.6 minutes per game last season playing for Austria's St. Polten, has signed with the Cougars, the program announced Monday. Vukicevic, whose pledge gives WSU scholarship player No. 13, will be a true freshman when he arrives on campus. With his relative lack of experience — his most minutes last season came with a 25-minute outing, in which he scored a season-high 10 points — it's clear the Cougs are banking on Vukicevic's upside and his physical tools. With his numbers, it appears Vukicevic feels more comfortable around the interior, where he shot 69% on 2-pointers last season. He took just 16 triples, making five of them, for a clip of 31%. But perhaps the most jarring number: He made just 7 of 22 free throws, which is 32%. Does Vukicevic fit in new WSU coach David Riley's up-tempo, read-and-react offensive system? Riley clearly thinks so, but if Vukicevic's numbers are any indication, he might need some time to adjust to the American college game. It's possible Vukicevic takes a redshirt year this coming season. It's also worth noting that the league Vukicevic's St. Polten team played in, Austrian Basketball Superliga, is the most prestigious league in Austria. WSU lands pledge from former EWU standout Casey Jones ... with a caveat Turns out, Riley isn't done recruiting from his old Eastern Washington club. Former Eagle Casey Jones has committed to the Cougs, according to multiple reports, but he won't be suiting up until 2027-28 as he's planning to take a two-year church mission, then use the following season to redshirt and get back in shape. A Seattle-area native who played his high school ball at Wasatch Academy in Utah, Jones averaged 12.6 points per game on 51% shooting from the field last season, earning All-Big Sky second-team and all-conference defensive team honors. He scored in double figures on 24 occasions, becoming a key cog on Riley's team. Jones now becomes the fifth former Eagle to follow Riley to WSU, joining wings Cedric Coward and LeJuan Watts and centers Ethan Price and Dane Erikstrup. When he finally suits up for WSU, Jones will have one year of eligibility remaining. https://www.bigcountrynewsconnection.com/local/7-foot-serbian-center-dimitrije-vukicevic-signs-with-wsu-as-cougs-bank-on-potential/article_9ea29402-9644-5d0f-9c8a-ee23b82a7d04.html

Priprema za digitalni SAT General, ispit potreban za upis koledža i univerziteta u Americi i na drugim lokacijama u svetu, počinje u subotu, 6. jula 2024. godine. Ovaj termin priprema prilagođen je polaganju testa u avgustu 2024. godine, ali se može iskoristiti i za termine u drugoj polovini godine. Test se od početka 2023. godine isključivo obavlja u digitalnoj verziji u ovlašćenim centrima za polaganje. Više informacija o terminima, cenama, novom obliku testa i drugim detaljima možete pronaći na zvaničnom sajtu ispita http://www.collegeboard.org. Na tom istom sajtu prijavljujete i plaćate polaganje na izabranoj lokaciji. Prijava za zvanični test odvojena je od priprema i mora se platiti na navedenom sajtu. Priprema se organizuje onlajn ili uživo u prostorijama Međunarodnog akademskog Centra u Beogradu. Termini su utorak i četvrtak, uz mogućnost organizovanja pojedinih časova subotom. Nastava uključuje i određene vrste simulacija koje će posebno biti najavljivane polaznicima. Kada se pripreme završe, kandidati i dalje mogu da vežbaju uz dostupni materijal sa nama bez ikakvog plaćanja i da se konsultuju sa predavačima oko delova testa koji im mogu biti problematični. Priprema košta 48,000 dinara i plaća se u dve rate. Prvi deo u iznosu od 30,000 dinara se plaća na početku, a drugi deo na polovini kursa. Sam test ne ulazi u cenu priprema i mora se prijaviti na sajtu http://www.collegeboard.org i platiti kreditnom ili debitnom karticom kojom se može plaćati na Internetu. Broj mesta za testove je ograničen i savetujemo svim kandidatima da se za test prijave što je pre moguće. Za sva pitanja o registraciji za test kontaktirajte Centar tokom radnog vremena. Na časovima se obrađuju jezički i matematički deo testa. Osim rada na samim časovima, sa predavačima ćete moći da razmotrite šta bi od dodatne dostupne literature moglo da vam bude od koristi za vežbanje pre polaganja. Pre početka priprema potrebno je uraditi besplatni probni test znanja engleskog jezika. Test je dostupan onlajn i link će biti prosleđen svim kandidatima za pripremu nakon prijave na sajtu Centra. Prijava za pripremu obavlja se na našem sajtu popunjavanjem odgovarajućeg formulara na stranici https://forms.gle/DWFaSPXj8MJUwkA16 .
