Values Quest was a project promoting human values and active citizenship among youth and fed in the regional British Council project Youth, Sport, Action!. Values Quest was a UK-Macedonia project, implemented as a partnership between the Blue Sky Youth Network, British Council Macedonia and Sefton Youth Service.

The Values Quest project in Macedonia was implemented between February and August 2007. It was built around four principle activities, each promoting different value. The activities included:

			Mass Mess – all-day event at national level, promoting teamwork among high school students. There were participants from all Blue Sky local clubs, divided into teams, competing among themselves. The best one was awarded;
			Peer 2 Peer – this activity aimed at encouraging high school students to offer and look for help in handling their every day school tasks. Six selected Blue Sky local clubs coordinated the process of mobilizing talented high school students, able to teach their peers certain school subjects, and matching them with students who need help. Read the final report.
			Snap the Nature – all-day event at national level, promoting creativity using natural resources. High school students interested in art and photography took part in this event. Thirty young people had a chance to attend workshops organized in a natural resort near the capital, and later create crafts using only natural resources, while the group of young photographers photographed the pieces of art.
			Exchange visit to Macedonia - the Macedonian Values Quest team hosted their British partners, the Values Quest team from the Sefton Youth Service, United Kingdom, in Macedonia for one week, 21- 27 July, 2007. The week was fulfilled with many fun activities organised by the Macedonian Values Quest team, including sightseeing around Skopje; visit to the Monastery St.Jovan Bigorski, located in Western Macedonia; photography and art-environment workshop; participation in the Blue Sky Summer School 2007 and visit to the Smolare waterfalls near Strumica, Eastern Macedonia.
			Exchange visit to the UK - The final, and probably the most exciting for the Macedonian team, stage of the Values Quest project was the exchange visit of the Macedonia team to the United Kingdom (25 August and 1 September 2007). The Macedonian group had been looking forward to this trip from the very start of the project. The programme provided for them by the UK team, as well as the surprisingly good weather, justified this - it was a memorable experience. Both teams had a chance to meet the Mayor of Southport, enjoy water sports, visit Liverppool etc. At the end, they all realised that this end is just the beginning of future successful cooperation between Sefton Youth Service and the Blue Sky Youth Network.
