Associate Professor Dimitrinka Jordanova Peshevska from the University American College Skopje (UACS) participated as a representative of the Chamber of Psychologists of the Republic of Macedonia, as part of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA) delegation, at the 76th session of the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Committee for Europe, held from 27 to 29 October 2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Selected to join the EFPA delegation, which brings together 38 member organizations, Associate Professor Jordanova Peshevska's participation represents an important opportunity to strengthen the international visibility of Macedonian psychology and contribute the professional perspective of psychologists to European health and mental health policy discussions. The meeting, attended by representatives of 53 WHO Member States and non-state actors, addressed several key public health priorities, including the adoption of strategies for promoting mental health and well-being, as well as healthy ageing and improved quality of life.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to highlight the involvement of young people in international health discussions. Georgina Kominovska, a UACS student and UN Youth Delegate, addressed the Regional Committee through a video contribution, further highlighting the importance of youth representation and participation in shaping health-related policies and initiatives.
