SPARK Internship Workshop was organized in Skopje on 16-17 March 2007, with the aim of bringing together all those in the Western Balkans who share an interest in internships: 1) students; 2) universities; 3) businesses.
The AIM was to bring these 3 groups together for 2 days of brainstorming about making internships part of university curricula in the entire Western Balkans region.
